Among the participating shops, “Longtan Tofu Pudding” and “Cui Xin Vietnamese Restaurant” both have over 30 years of history. Longtan Tofu Pudding sells only one type of tofu pudding, which has a slightly scorched bean flavor and soft, fluffy peanuts. It comes in both cold and hot options, attracting many students and office workers in both summer and winter. Cui Xin Vietnamese Restaurant is Taiwan’s first Vietnamese eatery, where the Vietnamese-Chinese owner insists on using traditional cooking methods to deliver authentic flavors. Its famous signature dish, “Beef Pho with Raw Beef,” features a rich broth simmered for five hours from beef bones, poured over thin slices of yellow beef, earning high praise.
