呷二嘴

呷二嘴 sits on Ganzhou Street in Taipei's Datong District, a traditional shop famous around Dadaocheng for its queues, serving mi-tai-mu, fen-gui, big red beans, and grass-jelly sweet soup — combinable four-in-one. One diner said “today's shaved ice was mi-tai-mu + fen-gui + grass jelly, tasty without cloying sweetness — after lunch at the temple square on a hot afternoon, I walked over for a cooling bowl,” another “never expected traditional ice to be this good,” ordering all four mixed with less ice.

Lines are common at mealtimes, the shop hanging a red banner: “call to order (buy 10 get 1) to skip the line, order a half-hour ahead”; both dine-in and takeaway order from the queue under the arcade, with bowls limited to two people sharing per spend.

Closed Mondays; otherwise open daily 9:30am to 5:00pm.
