Wu Family A-gei & Egg Crepe
吳家阿給蛋餅 水源街店 · show this name to taxi drivers
A neighborhood breakfast shop away from the tourist strip, with a menu short enough to order without much Chinese: a-gei, an old-style batter egg crepe (fenjiang danbing) and rice dumplings, plus drinks. A-gei is Tamsui's stuffed tofu pouch with glass noodles and fish paste, and here it comes with local morning crowds rather than tour groups.
