Yang Bao Bao (Chaoming Road)

In 1993, this dumpling shop began life as a street stall in a local market. Now it has become a household name throughout southern Taiwan. Apart from steamed pork and beef dumplings, the variety filled with assorted vegetables also stands out – its plump, full skin enrobes a filling of shredded wood ear fungus, green bok choy, glass noodles and dried tofu. The beef soup features a sweet, clear broth and tender beef brisket, making it equally worth trying.
