Amazing TAIWANESE Breakfast at Taoyuan Village + Tian Zi Fang Market | Shanghai, China

In 2015, I had the pleasure of touring three of China’s most incredible cities (Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an) with my father. I fell in love with the country. Four years later, in April of 2019, I went back solo for a job and extended my trip so I could properly explore Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. I can’t wait to share my adventures with you and hopefully inspire you to visit these amazing cities, too!

On the morning of my third full day in Shanghai, I headed off to Taoyun Village to have an amazing Taiwanese breakfast

Back in 1949, a lot of Chinese people emigrated to Taiwan and created military villages and made their own cuisine with ingredients from the island. I couldn’t wait to try these dishes!

I headed off to an upscale diner in the SML Center, a mall about 15 minutes from People’s Square. There were lots of dishes to choose from, so I went with a set menu for 120 Yuan/roughly $17.45 U.S. It came with soymilk, Chinese churros, rice rolls with pork floss and cucumber, tofu with seaweed and pork fat, and crab meat dumplings.

I started with the churro and dipped it into the soymilk. The churro was very flaky, oily, and airy and I loved the soymilk. You can also break up the churro and let it soak in the soymilk and eat it like cereal. It’s so good and so filling!

Then I jumped on the crab meat dumplings because they get cold fast. I tried it with a spicy chili sauce. The crab meat was delicious and the dumplings contained a bit of soup inside. The dough was fantastic and the meat was super fresh. There was also vinegar as a dipping sauce, but I preferred the chili!

The rice roll was wrapped in saran wrap. I dipped it in a glazy sauce. The roll was like a sushi hand roll. I loved the herbs, pork, cucumbers, and a lot of sticky rice. The pork was crispy and flaky. The sauce was outstanding!

Then I went with the soymilk skin with pork and seaweed. It was a little spicy and the soymilk skin had a flavor similar to tofu. It was a little different texture- and flavor-wise. It almost had the consistency of a runny egg at times. There were big chunks of pork in it. It was incredible and so different. If you love tofu, you’ll love this dish!

Then I went back to the second half of my rice and pork hand roll. I dipped it into the chili sauce from the dumplings. It was so delicious and filling!

I headed back outside to take a look at the souvenir shops. There were lots of cool things inside. There are lots of ceramic goods there, and I got a koi picture for my wife. There were lots of other unique, hand-made things there that I wanted. They were beautiful!

I continued on throughout the retail area, past other souvenir shops and clothing shops. There’s never-ending commercial space in Shanghai. I reached an open-air market called Tian Zi Fang Market and looked for some Chinese jerseys for my nephews. I also found some cool statues of dragons and copper frogs that bring good fortune.

I also visited a cat café, where you can get a drink, feed the cats, and play with them. I continued through the market. The vendors were trying to sell me everything! There were more dragons and Buddhas and statues of superheroes like Wonder Woman!

I bought a panda stuffed animal for my daughter for 85 Yuan, or about $12 U.S. If you come here, you have to know what you’re looking for beforehand, or you’ll lose your mind. There’s so much to see there! What an awesome morning in Shanghai!
