礁溪包子饅頭專賣店

礁溪包子饅頭專賣店 sits on Zhongshan Road in Jiaoxi Township, Yilan, selling fresh-steamed buns and mantou for a limited window each afternoon, the skin springy and the filling honest, a coin-price bag. One diner said “just very tasty buns and mantou,” another “the NT$20 bun is super tasty, cheap with a springy skin, the filling ordinary, the mantou springy too and better the more you eat.”

With limited output, the shop caps each person at 5 buns and 2 mantou, with long lines at each batch — arrive late and you may miss out; one diner noted “business is great, so you may not get any outside a fresh-batch window, and the owner's kind-hearted — imperfect pork buns are just NT$22, mantou NT$17.”

Closed Mondays; otherwise sold daily from 1:00pm to 4:30, until sold out.
