With the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival, the aroma of zongzi wafts through every street and alley. The soft and chewy glutinous rice, paired with ingredients like pork belly, mushrooms, egg yolks, or dried shrimp... just imagining it makes your mouth water. If you want to enjoy such deliciousness, why not check out five popular zongzi shops in Taipei? Celebrate the occasion and savor the festive flavors!

● Shuxia Xia Zi Zongzi

Xia Zi originally sold northern-style zongzi, where the fried rice was pre-cooked, then mixed with lean pork, mushrooms, taro, dried bamboo shoots, and other ingredients before being wrapped and steamed. Now they also sell southern-style zongzi, which involves cooking raw rice along with pork belly, mushrooms, peanuts, rice beans, and egg yolks all wrapped in bamboo leaves. Although not the oldest zongzi shop in the area, business is brisk—they sometimes sell up to a thousand zongzi a day. Emphasizing handmade, on-site wrapping, customers can see the hygiene and taste the deliciousness.
