The breakfast tables of this neighborhood once belonged to villages along the Yunnan–Burma border.
Migan is a thin, steamed sheet of rice flour, cut into broad noodles. Around Zhongzhen Market in Pingzhen, migan shops stand shoulder to shoulder along the street.
Let me share one way to enjoy it. The bowl arrives with clear broth and migan noodles, topped with minced meat and chopped herbs. First, take a sip of the broth. Then add chili and sour pickles from the table, to your own taste. Once the heat and tartness join in, the flavor of Yunnan comes into sharp focus.
Wandoufen is made from ground pea flour set into a firm block, resembling a yellow tofu. It is sliced and eaten with a savory sauce poured over it.
Those who could never return home kept making the breakfasts of their homeland here, in this place.
Now, people come even from other towns across Taiwan, seeking out this flavor.
The earlier the morning hour, the thicker the steam rises before the shopfronts.
