Yong'an Baozi Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Baozi Shop, located across from the Salt Water Chicken, has a history of over 26 years in the Yong'an Market, and is now primarily run by the younger second-generation owners. The baozi and mantou at Yong'an Baozi Shop are made using old sourdough, resulting in a particularly delicious and dense texture. They offer a variety of buns, including red bean paste buns, twisted bread, vegetable buns, and fresh milk mantou, all of which have a rich and aromatic wheat scent that keeps customers coming back for more. The skills of the first-generation owner, Mr. Lu, were passed down from an elder from the mainland in the South Gate Market in Taipei City. In addition to the shop's signature Shandong mantou and fresh milk mantou, their specialty vegetable bun is a must-try. The vegetable bun is made with old sourdough skin, filled with clear river vegetables, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms, then steamed to perfection, offering a distinctly Shanghai flavor that many loyal customers say brings back fond memories of their hometown.
