Daqiaotou Tube Rice Pudding
大橋頭老牌筒仔米糕(本店) · show this name to taxi drivers
A third-generation shop, open since 1973, serving tube rice pudding: sticky rice steamed in a small cup with braised pork, turned out onto a plate with sweet chili sauce. One cup and a bowl of soup make a quick, cheap breakfast or lunch on your own. It is in the Yansan food area but closes at 16:00. It is on the 2026 MICHELIN Bib Gourmand list.

How to order, step by step
- Join the line - it is busy at lunchtime
- Mark your order on the paper sheet: tube rice (fatty or lean pork) and a soup
- Hand it in and pay at the counter
- Help yourself to sauces and cutlery, then find a seat - the room gets crowded, so big luggage is awkward
- Card and mobile payment may not be accepted, so bring cash
What to order solo: One tube rice pudding (NT$40, or NT$80 for a large one in 2025) with the oyster and pork liver soup (NT$95). One small cup is light, so add a soup or a second cup if you are hungry.
Best time to go alone: Mid-morning, before the lunch rush.
