Hole in the wall - Edit
I found 九六素食 down a narrow side street north of the train station. There were a dozen veggie dishes for people who wanted to put together a bento box. The owner asked me what I wanted, and after a quick glance over the menu board of rice, noodle, and side dishes, I ordered the signature noodles (NT$35). I asked him to confirm that there wouldn’t be any eggs or dairy, and he matter-of-factly responded that he hadn’t served any of those in the 50-some-odd years that he’s been in business.😄He then welcomed me to take a seat since I was dining in. After he finished prepping and serving another diner’s order, he quickly brought out mine: a straightforward flat noodle bowl with vegan ground meat and bits of vegan meatballs, water spinach, shiitake mushroom pieces, and Chinese celery. He also pointed out the wok next to the water fountain, which contained a soup with lots of different ingredients: carrots, peanuts, oyster mushrooms, soybeans, dates, loofah, cabbage, and other surprises. I happily slurped it up even though it was making me sweat.

Best vegetarian food in Taiwan! - Edit
Best vegetarian food in Taiwan, including all the favourite dishes with fake meats! Cooked fresh, super tasty and large portions. Highly recommended! The owner is incredibly friendly and attentive, refilling water, providing extra cutlery or napkins, and just generally being really happy with looking after his guests... We happened to be here during Moon festival, which meant there was quite a lively family-like atmosphere going on with people BBQing veggie snacks in front of the restaurant. Amazing experience!
