Breakfast at Tien-Ji's
The eatery's name is Tien-Ji Soybean Milk, a very popular place serving
breakfast all day.
The second floor is a very spacious seating area.
This lady is responsible for making pan-fried vegetable buns and pan-fried
dumpling (pot stickers).
This lady is in charge of frying 油條, Chinese churros.
This lady is in charge of making egg pancakes.
(All the hard-working workers are female, not a male worker in sight.)
Chinese baked bread with various fillings, NT12 (USD$0.40) each piece.
The upstairs seating area.
The building seen across the street is an
elementary school.
My favorite breakfast, 4 pot stickers (NT4 x 4), one pan-fried vegetable bun
(NT12), and
one slice of Daikon cake (NT12). The small dish holds my dipping sauce,
with shredded ginger.
Inside the pan-fried vegetable bun is chock full of chopped chives (韮菜) mixed with
cabbage.
One day I ordered a serving of Xiao-Long-Bao, but it was so so,
nothing special.
I guess it takes special skill to make very good Xiao-Long-Bao.
Another morning I decided to try 油條, Chinese churros,
for a change.
As I had predicted, 油條 was too greasy to my taste.
