Established 70 years ago and now run by the third generation, Sulai Zhuang serves meatballs (ba-wan), taro cakes, and various soups. The shop is clean and bright, decorated with nostalgic items. Their cup-shaped ba-wan is made from freshly ground indica rice batter prepared daily, then oil-poached to maintain its elasticity. The filling includes pork shoulder, shiitake mushrooms, and chestnuts. Topped with the shop’s house-made dark sauce, it offers a uniquely balanced sweet-savory flavor. Adding minced garlic or fresh chili sauce is recommended to enrich the taste, and it pairs wonderfully with a steaming hot Four-Herb Soup.

Butian Peanut Brittle is a long-established shop in Wanhua that has been operating for more than 60 years. Upholding craftsmanship and traditional techniques, they carefully select premium peanuts from Beigang, Yunlin, and slowly roast them over a low flame in an old-style roaster to fully preserve their aroma and crisp texture. No extra sugar or artificial flavoring is added throughout the process, resulting in a snack that is sweet but not heavy, richly aromatic, and non-sticky—an iconic old-fashioned treat that has accompanied many Taiwanese people as they grew up.
