Yong'an Baozi Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Bun Shop, located across from the Yanshui Chicken shop in the Yong'an Market, has a history of over 26 years and is now mostly run by the younger second-generation owners. The buns and mantou at Yong'an Bun Shop are made with aged dough, offering a particularly delicious and dense texture. They offer a variety of buns such as red bean buns, twisted rolls, vegetable buns, and fresh milk mantou, with the rich aroma of the dough leaving customers praising them endlessly. The artisanal skills of the first-generation owner, Mr. Lu, come from a traditional teaching by an older gentleman at the Nanmen Market in Taipei City. In addition to the shop's signature Shandong mantou and fresh milk mantou, the specialty vegetable bun is a must-try for visitors. The vegetable bun, made with aged dough and stuffed with tender greens, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, is steamed to perfection, delivering an authentic Shanghai-style flavor that many long-time customers fondly reminisce about.
