How to order, step by step

- Pay in cash
- Eat it while it is hot - there is nowhere to sit at the shop
What to order solo: One or two pastries make a light breakfast. Shredded radish and chive are local favorites, and the beef pie is heartier. Most were about NT$30 each in 2026 media.
Best time to go alone: Around 08:00-10:00 on Tuesday to Saturday. Popular fillings can run out before the 12:30 close.
