It's really crowded so be patient with queue, it took around two hours during peak time. The main star menu is  BBQ pork buns which are fluffy and crumbly stuffed with sweet tender pork cubes.  The BBQ pork buns is always become my main menu for each visited. I'll never get tired with this kind of dim sum. Every dish are good and delicious, and this time we only queue for about 30-35 minutes not bad lah.

It's a perfect place to experience the old Taipei market feeling and take home variety traditional unique items. In here they sell almost everything to prepare for the feast, start from candy, chocolate, dried mushroom, meat, nuts, beverages, etc. My favorite part is the free sample from almost every vendor. You can try it before you buy it. It's really crowded before  Chinese Lunar New Year  such an unforgettable experience.
