Ying Yang Oyster
營養蚵仔 · show this name to taxi drivers
A Beitou market stall that locals line up for, built around oysters: plump oysters blanched and served with sauce, oyster mee sua, and simple dry noodles. Small portions make it easy to put together a meal for one, and it pairs well with a braised pork rice stop in the same market.
