Having found this place recommended by many bloggers, I came here on my first morning in Taipei alone. I was on a 12-hour wait to surprise the rest of my family, who had no clue I'd be joining them for their tour for the next seven days. Upon entering what looked like a barely-open-for-business food court, I was surprised to find that seated patrons had similar bowls and cutlery from the same stall. Boy, I guess my research wasn't quite as thorough as I thought it was because I soon found myself following the queue all the way to the ground floor. An experience in itself indeed. Said savoury dou jiang tasted like porridge except the main ingredient was a soft, soy curd instead of white rice. It was the kind of "flavourful" you'd wish for in your porridge - savoury, fragrant and most importantly, served piping hot and fresh. Oh, how I wish my family was there to try this with me!
