中央西路無名水煎包

An unnamed roadside pan-fried-bun stall next to Zhongli's Xinming Night Market, across from the Yuanta Bank. At twelve NT a piece, rolled, folded, and griddled to order, browned golden on both sides — the queue-worthy spot Zhongli locals say “all their patience goes to.”

Just one filling (cabbage-pork). The skin is thin, the crisp base pronounced, the filling generous, the cabbage keeping its water and natural sweetness. They cook fast — it may look uncrowded, but the person ahead of you might have ordered a whole batch, so gauge your timing on site.

Taoyuan representative in Niang Niang's First All-Taiwan Pan-Fried Bun Contest. Closed Sundays.
