Start your day with a super filling rice ball and kill two birds with one stone—breakfast and lunch sorted in one go. Taoyuan South Gate Market has tons of great breakfast options. Last time we introduced Li’s Sesame Cake, and today Xiao Xiang has another big recommendation:“Grandma’s Rice Ball”—a rice ball that Xiao Xiang has been eating since childhood.

Brown Rice Rice Ball (Large) $35
They offer both white rice and brown rice options, and this time Xiao Xiang went with the healthy brown rice version. Watching Grandma wrap the rice balls, her hands moving deftly, she quickly puts together a delicious, hearty rice ball. Grandma has been running this rice ball stall for 30 to 40 years. Xiao Xiang’s mom also used to have a stall at South Gate Market—so it’s truly a childhood favorite that hasn’t changed in taste or stayed affordably priced. With pickled radish, pickled mustard greens, pork floss, peanut powder, and crispy fried dough stick… one bite will keep you full for half the day. Incredible value for money.
