Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake

The soft, springy batter wrapper has elasticity without sticking to your teeth. Even around the tuna, it retains a pleasant bite, while its warmth brings out the tuna's gentle sweetness.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Egg pancakes and croissants in a neighborhood morning

By putting an old-fashioned batter wrapper and Western-style flaky pastry among the same breakfast choices, this shop reflects the varied textures of an everyday neighborhood meal.

✨ AI Breakfast Stop: Quick Take

Located around Wanshou Bridge and NCCU, 初什麼早午餐Brunch draws nearby residents with textured breakfast choices such as rice-batter egg pancakes and croissant sandwiches. The Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake has a soft, springy batter wrapper, while the Black Pork Chop Croissant Sandwich adds crisp pastry and a hearty bite. Black tea brings the morning back to a simple rhythm. A menu does not need hundreds of variations: a few memorable dishes are more useful than pages that make your wrist sore.

Uncle's line: A breakfast shop passes if it improves your mood, and the rice-batter egg pancake does. Whether you can get up early is beyond the shop's control.
Interior and dining atmosphere:The high ceiling eases the sense of confinement, and natural light feels comfortable during the day. Dog photos on the walls add an everyday touch to this neighborhood brunch spot. Tableware and similar items are self-service. Regulars already visit on weekdays, and a wait is more likely on holidays. A high ceiling does not mean infinite seats, so after finishing your meal, check whether someone is waiting behind you. The shop describes itself as pet-friendly, but confirm entry and seating rules for pets first; do not bring an entire pack through the door based on the photos alone.

Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市文山區新光路一段124號, near Wanshou Bridge, National Chengchi University, and the Muzha Zoo area. Muzha Station and Taipei Zoo Station are both some distance away on foot, or you can take a bus to Xinguang Road or stops around NCCU. Check the shop's latest announcements for waiting lists, pets, opening hours, and days off.
● Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake

The Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake uses an old-fashioned batter to create a soft, springy wrapper that does not stick to your teeth. Its warmth also draws out a little more sweetness and mellowness from the tuna. The wrapper itself is the heart of the dish and retains its bite even when filled. Eat it hot, taste it without sauce first, then add chili or soy sauce to preference so you can better appreciate how it differs from a standard egg pancake.

● Black Pork Chop Croissant Sandwich

The Black Pork Chop Croissant Sandwich uses a buttery croissant with a lightly crisp exterior and a pork chop that is deeply seasoned after marinating, with a substantial meaty bite. Flaky pastry and fat taste fragrant at first but may grow heavy later. Pair it with black tea, eat it hot, or trade half for a rice-batter egg pancake with a companion; any of those is easier than eating two rich main dishes alone.

Uncle's line: Croissant crumbs are normal, and so is a tabletop that looks snow-covered after breakfast. Just try not to let it snow on the next table.
● Black tea

The black tea is warm and smooth, with neither astringency nor sweetness competing with the main dishes. It pairs well with the tuna egg pancake or pork-chop croissant. Rather than entering the flavor competition as the star, it plays the essential supporting role of giving breakfast a drink and refreshing the palate. Ask at the shop about hot or iced service, sweetness, and availability.

💡 Ordering notes

On a first visit, make the Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake the star. Add the Black Pork Chop Croissant Sandwich if you want something more filling; two people can order one of each and trade. Arriving early on holidays and picking up your own tableware feels much more relaxed than studying the menu only after you have joined the line.

  • Location:On Section One of Xinguang Road, near Wanshou Bridge, NCCU, and the zoo area.
  • Type:Rice-batter egg pancakes, croissant sandwiches, drinks, and neighborhood brunch
  • Highlights:Soft, springy rice-batter egg pancakes, a high and bright interior, and dog photos
  • Best for:Nearby residents, activities around NCCU, guests with pets, and anyone who wants to ease into the morning

📌 Editor's verdict

初什麼早午餐Brunch does not need an enormous menu. The soft, springy wrapper of the Tuna Rice-Batter Egg Pancake is memorable on its own, the Black Pork Chop Croissant Sandwich supplies crisp pastry and substance, and black tea reins in the richness. Arrive early and choose one main plus one companion, and the morning feels more like unwinding than a contest in waiting.
