How to order, step by step

- You can order the savory and sweet dishes together
- Help yourself to more broth for the tianbula
- Pay in cash after you eat
What to order solo: A bowl of tianbula (about NT$75 in 2026) and a peanut douhua (about NT$55). Tianbula is made from fish paste, so it is not vegetarian.
Best time to go alone: Weekday mid-afternoon, between 14:00 and 17:00. Closed Sundays.
