Photos & Text /Beluga

Traditional Japanese omurice, with its tender, silky half-cooked egg wrapped around flavorful stir-fried rice, always gets your taste buds excited. But have you ever heard of takoyaki omurice, mapo tofu omurice, oyster sauce mushroom trio omurice, or Sichuan-style duck treasure omurice?

A variety of never-before-seen creative omurice dishes await you at [Shiyuanfang Omurice Specialty Shop] in Yilan City. Since opening in 1991, for over twenty years, the owner has stuck to an affordable price range of NT$60–80 and generous portions, bringing joy to the locals of Yilan.

To promote Yilan’s travel and food hotspots, the Yilan County Government helda selection of “Top 100 Must-Eat Attractions”in 2010. [Shiyuanfang Omurice] stood out with its great quality and value, winning first place in the online vote for Yilan’s Top 100 Food & Snack category – truly well-deserved recognition.

First up, let’s show you the Japanese-style omurice. How much is this big plate? Just NT$60.

For the traditional Japanese omurice, the owner just couldn’t resist getting creative, letting customers choose to add cheese or squid as they wish.

If your appetite is as small as Beluga’s, you’ll definitely want to share this generous portion of omurice with family or friends.

My family loves takoyaki balls, so out of curiosity, we ordered this takoyaki omurice to try.

Made with carefully selected Chihshang rice, topped with tons of seaweed, dried bonito flakes, squid, and corn, the multi-layered textures made it an absolute delight.

In addition to traditional Japanese omurice and Taiwanese-style innovative flavors, if you’re craving Western-style baked rice or pasta, that’s fine too.

With years of experience and dedication, [Shiyuanfang] not only masters the perfect cooking of omurice but also keeps innovating with creative twists.

Sichuan-style duck treasure omurice? Oyster sauce mushroom trio omurice? Mapo tofu omurice? Are you curious about what those actually taste like?

The most surprising part? These three uniquely flavorful omurices, exclusive to Yilan, are all just NT$70.

Where else in Taiwan can you find such unique and affordable flavored omurices? Here comes the super recommended mapo tofu omurice, served hot and fresh.

A thin, translucent egg layer is topped with a toned-down version of mapo tofu—less spicy and numbing—which completely redefines your impression of both omurice and mapo tofu.

On the order form, you can choose to add squid or cheese. My mapo tofu omurice came loaded with plenty of squid—generous as always.

As the weather gets cooler, digging into the mildly spicy and numbing mapo tofu omurice, I couldn’t stop saying how good it was until the very last bite.

Whether you want to try the traditional Japanese omurice or the creative mapo tofu omurice at [Shiyuanfang Omurice Specialty Shop], not only should you bring someone to share, but also remember to come before 7 PM—it’s sold out many times on my visits.
