BREAKFAST WITH KAI HO OF TAÏRROIR

“For an authentic Taiwanese-style breakfast, you can’t go wrong with Fu Hang Dou Jiang ( 2F 108 Zhongxiao East Rd.) on the first floor of Huashan Market. My pick from the menu is shaobing, a sesame flatbread that’s wrapped around a youtiao (Chinese cruller) and a fried egg— it’s so good! The shop is immensely popular, and queues sometimes start as early as 5 a.m., stretching out all the way onto the street. But after your first bite, you’ll know that it was well worth the wait.”
