One of my students likes to visit good restaurants. She taught me several reasonable restaurants, and 龐太餛飩舖子 was one of them. The location is not in convenient area, so it is better to access by car. Coincidentally, I had a chance to go to this area.
It is a small restaurant, and interestingly, the décor was amazingly cool. Out of no where, you find such a fashioned tiny restaurant. You can’t even imagine they are selling wonton. My friend and I entered the store. Only two workers and Jazz as background music welcomed us. Menu was quite simple; wonton soup and noodles. We ordered one appetizer (TW$ 30), small noodle (TW$ 40), pork wonton soup (TW$ 55) and shrimp wonton soup (TW$ 80). Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of shrimp wonton soup... (ToT)
Appetizer
As an appetizer (小菜), we choose pork ear ski & Tofu bean curd. Both are popular appetizer of Taiwanese food, and Okinawa people of Japan sometimes eat those. Their pork ear was a bit sweet, but I liked it.
Pork Wonton Soup
Pork Wonton Soup (鮮肉餛飩湯) was the simplest item from their wonton menu, but simple is best. The soup was pure and light without MSG. Seaweed was inside and it kept the good balance of the taste. Although there were only 6 pieces of wonton, but each piece was big enough to make us lightly full. I thought seafood wonton (such as shrimp or scallop) would give stronger taste.
Small Dry Noodle
They prepared three different kinds of noodle menu, and we tried small dry noodle (乾拌麵). It was a right decision to order one noodle, otherwise only wonton soup didn’t make us completely full. I have eaten some dry noodle since I came to Taiwan, but this noodle was the best so far!!! It was not really dry; enough soup with ground meat. I don’t think I should eat this everyday, but eating this once a month would make my stomach happy.
Overall, this tiny cute wonton restaurant offers a sophisticated wonton menu; it is called professionalism.
Total: TW$ 205 (for 2 people)

Thank you for your article. Do you know where to find HK style Wonton soup in Taipei ? Thx !
ReplyDeleteHello there!
DeleteI personally don't know... But I heard that 港欣新潮茶餐廳 (Happy Hong Kong) is pretty good. You might check out.
I used to like "糖朝 (Sweet Dynasty)", which was originally from HK and one Taiwan celebrity was managed this restaurant. Recently, this restaurant moved to the new location and ownership back to HK. I went there a few months ago. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quite good but the taste of foods changed. This restaurant is HK style, so you can find Wonton soup.
