Yong'an Baozi Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Steamed Bun Shop, located across from the Salt Water Chicken, has been a fixture in the Yong'an Market for over 26 years and is now mostly run by the younger second-generation owners. The buns and breads at Yong'an are made using old dough, resulting in a particularly delicious and dense texture. They offer a variety of buns including red bean buns, flower rolls, vegetable buns, and fresh milk buns, all praised for their rich, fragrant aroma that delights customers. The skills of the first-generation owner, Mr. Lv, were passed down from an elder from the mainland at the South Gate Market in Taipei City. In addition to the signature Shandong buns and fresh milk buns, the specialty vegetable buns are a must-try for visitors. The vegetable bun's dough is made with old dough, and the filling includes Qingjiang vegetables, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms, all steamed to perfection, giving it an authentic Shanghai flavor that many long-time customers fondly reminisce about.
