Getting Breakfast at Fuhang Soy Milk: Everything You Need To Know Before You Go (阜杭豆漿)

If you’re planning a trip to Taipei and want to try a classic Taiwanese breakfast, Fuhang Soy Milk is one of the places you will hear about.

It has earned a spot in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide, and its reputation brings both locals and travelers to line up early. The wait can be long (like Din Tai Fung), but people say it’s worth the wait!

Hello, I’m Grace, born and raised in Taiwan and now living in the United States. I return to Taipei every summer and always make time for Fuhang with my mom.

In this post, you’ll learn everything you need to know before going to Fuhang. I’ll also share some small tips that will make your visit smoother.

Everything You Need To Know Before Going To Fuhang Soy Milk

Location & Hours

They open daily except Mondays from 5:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Here is the link to Google Maps: Fuhang Soy Milk

The easiest way to get there is by MRT, but keep in mind that trains start running at 6 a.m. If you plan to arrive earlier than that, it is better to take a taxi or Uber.

Take the Blue Line to Shandao Temple Station (善導寺, B13). Use Exit 5.

Once you reach street level, look to your right and you will likely see a long line that leads into the Huashan Market building (華山市場). Just join the queue. Fuhang is located on the second floor of the building.

Wait Time

Fuhang is well known for its long lines, and the wait really depends on what time you arrive. On weekend mornings, it can stretch close to two hours, so timing matters.

From my visits over the past several summers, we often got there after 10:30 a.m., and the wait was around 20 to 30 minutes.

There was one time my husband went super early because he was wide awake from jet lag. He arrived at about 5:20AM, 10 minutes before opening time, and there was already a long line. He still waited 45 minutes before getting his order.

Before writing this post, I also looked around online and asked a few friends about their experiences. The general takeaway is: if you arrive later in the morning, the crowd is usually smaller, but you should still expect to wait up to 30 minutes.

Menu & What To Order

Here is a photo of their menu:

Once you understand the structure of the menu, choosing becomes much easier.

Most of the items are categorized into drinks, shaobing (燒餅) in different thicknesses, pastry (sweet and savory), and a few add-ons, such as eggs or donut sticks.

Here is a simple way to decide on what to order:

Start with a drink (items #1-3)

You can choose from:

• Soy milk is the classic choice. Smooth and lightly sweet.
• Rice milk is another option if you want something thicker and sweeter.
• Savory soy milk topped with donut sticks and scallions. It is a bit of a “polarizing” dish. People who grew up with it find it very comforting, but not everyone enjoys it on the first try. My husband loves it, but I am not a fan.

If you’re not sure, (sweet) soy milk is the safest. You can get it either cold or hot.

Pick your bread style

Rows 2 and 3 have the same items but in 2 different bread thicknesses (items #11-14, and 21-24).

• Signature thick bread (厚餅)is their signature style. The bread has a firm, chewy bite and feels very satisfying. It is great if you want something with more substance and a stronger dough flavor.
• Sesame flat bread (薄餅)is thinner and more crispy.

Both styles come plain, with egg, or wrapped around a donut stick (油條).

I usually go for the signature thick bread with egg (item #12). If I am feeling really hungry, I add the donut stick version (item # 14).

Consider the Pastries (items 31, 32, 33)

These often get overlooked because most people focus on the big bread items, but they are actually very good. You can enjoy one after your main order or save it for a snack later.

• Brown sugar pastry has a light sweetness, and the outside is crunchy. I love its sweet taste!
• Green onion roll is savory and soft.
• Dried radish roll (蘿蔔絲餅) is also savory with lots of shredded radish in the filling; it’s my mom’s favorite.

Side items (Items #41-46)

These are the side items that you can add on if you are feeling extra hungry. While researching for this post, one thing caught my eye: the rice ball (item 46). I’m a big fan of rice balls, so I’ll make sure to try it the next time I’m back in Taipei.

Atmosphere & Vibe

Once your line reaches the 2nd floor, you will see the open kitchen on your left.

When you get to the ordering counter, take a tray and give your order to a staff member. If you prefer your food to go, just let them know, and they will pack everything neatly in containers and plastic bags.

After you collect all your items, move to the cashier to pay. They accept cash and a few local mobile payments, but they do NOT take Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. It is best to bring enough cash with you.

After paying, you can bring your food to the seating area (just like the food court). Most people finish eating quickly and leave, so tables open up often.

Alternatives to Fuhang Soy Milk

If your schedule is tight or you don’t want to wait in line, don’t worry, there are many great places in Taipei where you can still enjoy a classic Taiwanese breakfast.

You can type ‘Soy Milk’ or ‘豆漿’ in Google Maps, and see what’s available near you.

I’ll name a few popular ones that are well-known by the locals. These spots may not have the same Michelin recognition, but they offer delicious food with shorter lines and a more relaxed experience.

• Yonghe Soy Milk King (永和豆漿大王)- there are many branches, and this is among the most popular ones.
• Ding Yuan Soy Milk (鼎元豆漿) – Google Maps
• Sihai Soy Milk (四海豆漿大王) – Google Maps

Nearby Attraction: Huashan 1914 Creative Park (華山文創)

Google Maps: Huashan 1914 Creative Park

Huashan 1914 Creative Park is about an 8-minute walk from Fuhang Soy Milk

The site was once a winery built during the Japanese era, and it has since been transformed into one of Taipei’s most popular cultural spaces. You can browse design shops, check out exhibitions, or stop by for coffee. It opens later in the morning, so it works well if you plan to have breakfast first and explore afterward.

I have a standalone post about Huashan1914, if you are interested.

My most recent visit to Huashan was in the summer of 2025. The photos here are from a Sushi pop-up shop. They had all kinds of sushi-themed plush toys, and everything was super cute!

Final Thoughts

Fuhang Soy Milk is a classic Taipei breakfast spot that continues to draw both locals and visitors year after year.

The long lines can be intimidating, but the food is consistent and the experience feels very local. I always make time for it when I return to Taipei every summer, and it has become a small tradition for me and my mom.
