THE STORY

The story behind this place

From Dongyuan Market wrapper craft to the table

A Bo Lang’s thin-wrapper technique descends from wrapper-making at Dongyuan Market in Wanhua. Pan-frying reveals the delicate skin, browned base, and filling in layers. At Zhongxiao, skewers, spicy braises, and tavern-style sharing give that market craft a new place at the gathering table.

Thin-Skin Dumplings MetroBites visit photo

Thin-Skin Dumplings

Small dumplings hold finely chopped pork and cabbage beneath a golden, lightly charred wrapper. The thin skin lets sweet, tender filling and crisp cabbage lead; soy or mild chili sauce adds savor without covering the dumpling.

House Shredded Chicken Noodles / Sesame Sauce

Springy ramen carries rich sesame sauce and ample tender chicken. Thick but not cloying, with slight heat at the finish, it stays easy to eat; mix well before sharing.

Chicken Thigh Skewer with Scallion Salt

Chicken thigh is grilled lightly charred yet juicy and springy. A generous mound of scallion salt brings allium bite, savoriness, juices, and char—ideal for scallion lovers seeking direct grilled aroma beyond dumplings.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Neighborhood snacks become a Taiwanese tavern

Pan-fried dumplings, spicy braises, and Taiwanese skewers share the table, with shredded chicken sesame noodles as a staple. Wood furniture and old songs extend nostalgia, while thin crust, rich sesame, and scallion-salt char alternate through the meal.

✨ AI Quick Take

阿薄郎薄皮餃子－忠孝店 (A Bo Lang Baopi Jiaozi - Zhongxiao) is in Taipei's East District, about a 1-minute walk from Exit 1 of Zhongxiao Dunhua (忠孝敦化站). This Taiwanese tavern combines thin-skinned pan-fried dumplings, skewers, spicy braises, and staples. Its 0.5mm wrapper is central, while wood, concrete, Taiwanese-language details, and old songs create retro local character for pairs, groups, or an after-work spread.

Setting and atmosphere:Upstairs, wood tables and concrete walls set a plain tone, with high counter seats, standard tables, and group areas. Large windows bring daylight; warm lamps create tavern mood after dark. Old songs, Taiwanese labels, and protective bag covers styled like striped woven bags add familiar local details distinct from a Japanese izakaya.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市大安區忠孝東路四段177號2樓之2. From Exit 1 of Zhongxiao Dunhua (忠孝敦化站), turn right and enter the building to the second floor; watch for the upstairs entrance. Ordering is online and confirmed by staff. Reserve at busy times; weekend dining is limited to 90 minutes, so agree on shared dishes before ordering.
Thin-Skin Dumplings

Small Thin-Skin Dumplings contain pork and cabbage beneath a golden, lightly charred base. The delicate wrapper leaves room for sweet, tender pork and crisp cabbage. Table soy sauce or mild chili sauce can add aroma without obscuring the dumpling itself.

House Shredded Chicken Noodles / Sesame Sauce

Springy ramen is evenly coated in rich sesame sauce, with plenty of tender shredded chicken adding fiber. The sauce is thick but not heavy and ends with mild heat, so it does not quickly cloy. Mix before sharing so chicken and sauce distribute evenly.

Chicken Thigh Skewer with Scallion Salt

The skewer arrives distinctly grilled, with a lightly charred surface and juicy, springy chicken thigh. A generous mound of scallion salt adds pungency and savor, followed by meat juices and smoke. Keep plenty on each bite, or move some aside first to let the chicken itself stand out.

Uncle's line: A thin dumpling skin leaves center stage to the filling; a warm tavern leaves room for the people at the table to talk.
