The big, little busy breakfast shop
好大好忙的小小早餐店!
On the busy street of Fuxing south road in Da’an district, this little breakfast shop attracts all the early, and late, morning commuters, and a bit of the lunch group. The intimidating crowds come quickly, but are worked through quickly which can avoid stirring up those long line morning attitudes.
Stepping up to rattle off my order without the warming welcome feels quite rude from what I’m used to, but it does keep the orders moving when they’re busy. Also considering I am writing this in english, I should point out that I don’t expect stepping up with english demands or “sign language” would go smoothly. So grab the all-chinese menu and learn your order before the approach.
Sitting on Fuxing road, south of the Da’an MRT station, it’s almost too convenient for most people in the area to not make a stop over at some point. Look for the bright yellow front table on the East side of the road.
There is a small table and bar seating inside, along with a couple tables outside, happy to seat a small group. Many early birds call-in their orders and take them to go. The early morning also offers pre-made sandwiches to skip the line all together. Make your selection, leave the change on the counter and be on your way.
And, the Food..
The menu offers much of the items you’d expect from a ‘simple’ little breakfast shop in the area, but with a couple perks good enough to make it a favorite of it’s class.
Any of the sandwich options have a more generous portion of sauce and veggies to add to your meat and egg, cheese added on request. You can feel like you are eating a real sandwich versus some of those bread and lettuce options out there. A veggie sandwich actually includes the necessary variety to make a happy belly: lettuce, cucumber, tomato, corn, onion, sauce and egg. Don’t forget to ask for cheese.
The all amazing ‘dan bing,’ a simple food in nature, satisfies my tastes for a morning bite, although I’m not sure anyone can really “blow it out of the water”. I’m not a fan of the undercooked options at other stops, although arriving at peak rush hour might encourage them to push food through a little faster.
The teas are in the mid-range on my scale, a little bit on the sweet side for my tastes. Although, they also have ready made no-sugar options, hot or cold, ready to pour up and send out. Their cold milk tea is always satisfying in the morning if you are a milk tea drinker.
The menu lists a wide “breakfast shop” variety of the common items for your sandwiches and ‘dan bings,’ along with noodles and other sides.
The club sandwich looks so delicious, I’m not sure why I’ve never tried it earlier: 好吃

- SA’s favorite: Veggie bagel sandwich, hot tea, no sugar.
- Tiffany’s favorite: Ugh. I LOVE EVERYTHING. Club English muffin, pork sandwich/bagel or corn & cheese noodle “dan-bing”. Oh! And corn chowder (winter only).

#卡辣雞三明治
小樽在復興南路上，從以前只有一個小門面的店到現在開在馥敦飯店隔壁的明亮店面都人潮不斷。
不管幾點去小樽，幾乎都人潮滿滿! 最近在附近的“找餐店”紅到不行，大家都在說它，可是其實如果要我選，我會選擇小樽。除了找餐店總是要排隊排很久外，個人覺得他們的餐點無法客製化是個敗筆(曾經嘗試要求製作辣醬漢堡被拒絕，可是我真的很愛辣醬，又不愛臘腸)。
在小樽，選擇主菜(肉類/蔬菜)後再選擇你想要的麵包做搭配，要加起司就加，真的比較合我意。而且他們麵包種類選擇也真的很豐富，有吐司，馬芬，漢堡包，貝果，千層燒餅，波蘿包；連蛋餅也有一般蛋餅和河粉蛋餅兩種!
愛吃菜的我，去大部分的傳統早餐店不管點什麼三明治我都會覺得好像有點單調，菜菜不夠，可是小樽絕對沒有這個問題，三明治、貝果等都被生菜、番茄、洋蔥塞爆! 當然如果你不愛吃生洋蔥可以叫他們不要加。
很多早餐店的三明治很乾，或是只有用半透明的“沙拉”稍稍的抹在吐司表面，小樽的三明治因為有青菜的滋潤，再加上他們的塔塔醬，沒有這個問題。
#蔬菜貝果
他們的貝果系列更讓我驚豔，一整個被料塞到嘴巴要張到最大還沒有辦法一口咬下! 貝果裡面塗上正統的進口美乃滋，切達起司片，貝果外酥內軟，跟裡面的餡料達到完美的平衡。
點心類值得一提的是，他們有可樂餅耶!! 是那種日式滿滿綿密馬鈴薯和玉米的那種，一大早就可以吃到可樂餅有一種莫名的幸福感。
抓餅也是早餐店必備的，這裡的抓餅是九層塔口味的，煎的酥酥的抓餅加個起司和蛋，鹹鹹的帶著九層塔的香氣喚醒還沒睡醒的胃。
口渴嗎，小樽的特調奶茶跟三明治是絕配! 如果不愛奶茶，或不嗜甜的客官們可以點個無糖紅或無糖綠來喝~ 冬天還有玉米濃湯暖胃!
小樽，真的是我吃過的早餐店裡面最料多味美的，還沒吃過的朋友們快去試試看吧!
