Lin He Fa Oil Rice
林合發油飯店 · show this name to taxi drivers
A long-running Yongle Market stall selling savory sticky "oil rice" by weight, takeaway only. Locals queue in the morning and it often sells out before noon, so treat it as an early grab-and-go breakfast, not a sit-down meal.

How to order, step by step
- Go to stall 1430 on the ground floor of Yongle Market
- Join the queue
- Ask for a small box. Rice is sold by weight, and you can add a chicken drumstick or a braised egg
- Pay in cash
- Take it away. There are no seats at the stall, so plan where you will eat before you buy
What to order solo: The smallest box of oil rice. Add a braised egg if you want a fuller breakfast.
Best time to go alone: Close to opening, around 07:30-09:00. Queues build after about 10:00 and it can sell out early.
