Reporter He Guanxian / Comprehensive Report

Come to Taichung for food and drinks—it’s the place to be for unique restaurants. The newly opened “Māotóu Pái” in North District is Taiwan’s first specialty store to use edible stickers. Not only does it offer super affordable HK-style dim sum, but it also provides customization services to create your one-of-a-kind meal.

Māotóu Pái is an affordable HK-style eatery that prioritizes food safety while developing fun and creative dishes. All items here come with edible stickers that don’t affect the taste of the food—and even better, you can create custom stickers too. Just message the shop the day before to send over your desired image or photo, and when your meal arrives, you can enjoy your uniquely personalized dim sum experience.

Māotóu Pái’s Gua Bao doesn’t feature the usual heavy braised pork or pickled mustard greens. Instead, it breaks tradition by stuffing tender poached chicken breast, seasonal lettuce, and sesame leaves inside, offering a refreshing taste to battle the scorching summer heat. Other options include egg tarts, BBQ pork buns, shumai, instant noodles, and more—even the onsen egg gets a cute edible sticker, wobbling adorably as if to say, “Don’t pop me!”
