Recommendation by Wabisavi
If you're walking down Yongkang Street (which I definitely recommend for delicious food and cute souvenirs), this corner stall is hard to miss, as crowds gather around at almost every hour of the day. While Yilan is notoriously king of the Taiwanese pancake, Tian Jin makes some of the best ่ฅๆ้ค (๐ล๐ฏ๐จ ๐ป๐ฉ๐ถฤ ๐ฃว๐ฏ๐จ) in Taipei. Now, while this snack is commonly known as "pancake", don't let the name deceive you. We're actually talking about a flaky, savoury flatbread (much similar to Singaporean ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ช ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ข) with chopped scallions dotting the dough. In Yilan it is deep-fried, while at Tian Jin it is cooked over a hot griddle. I tried both, and while Yilan's scallions are hard to beat, I honestly prefer Tian Jin Onion Pancake, which is flakier and less oily. Go for the original for a filling snack, or add everything and turn it into a delicious meal. ๐๐๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐. Chinese legend has it that pizza is none other than a variant of this dish. Supposedly, Marco Polo invented pizza after he returned to Italy, in an attempt to recreate these very scallion pancakes (disclaimer: for your own safety, do not try suggesting this theory to Italian people!). ๐ฌ Chinese, English, Japanese & Korean menu (look for the small menu near the griddles) ๐ธ 25 ~ 55ๅ
