Here's a quick review of a place that most people who live in Taipei probably already know about, but I still wanted to give a plug anyway: Yong He Dou Jiang.
For those of you who don't know, Yong He Do Jiang offers traditional Taiwanese breakfast foods such as sao bing yo tiao, do jiang (you can get this in any combination of hot/cold and sweet/salty - oh wait, you can't get cold and salty dou jiang) dan bing, etc. It's also a chain, and my personal favorite branch is the original one located on Fuxing South Road (get off at the Daan stop on the Muzha line), as they seem to have the biggest selection, and everything just seems to taste better. It's also dirt cheap, and you can't ever beat cheap and delicious.
The last time we went, it was right as the weather was finally starting to cool down, and a soft wind was blowing. We sat outside, and you know, sometimes I can't stand it here, but then sometimes there's no where else I'd rather be, drinking cold, sweet dou jiang and biting into a deliciously flaky sao bing.

Fuxing South Road, Section 2*
*I don't know the exact number, but if you get off at the Daan stop and then at the intersection make a left onto Fuxing, it's right past a fire station, which will be on your right.

I still think a shao bing with egg, a fan tuan (rice tube?) and a big glass of cold sweet soy milk is just about the most perfect breakfast in the world.
Mmm Yonghe Doujiang... of all the fancy restaurants and night markets and the likes, it might actually be YD that's the most memorable place during last year's trip!
I wish I can have shaobing youtiao tomorrow for breakfast :/
this is something that i don't get often enough.. probably because of insomnia and looking at food blogs at 5am and not being up when they are open. sigh
I know, insomnia is the worst! Though I bet if you stay up for another hour or so past five, you can be right there when they open and get everything fresh. =)
