松山割包 - Xinyi District

Gua Bao - one of the best food I had in this trip. For people who loves fats, highly recommend you to order the one with MORE fats. People who don't really love fats, can go for the MORE lean. Hopefully, you are not allergic to peanuts, cause the generous amount of peanut powder makes the whole bun - mamma mia!

These buns are GREAT. I think they're about 55NT each and are worth every dollar. I get it with lean meat but it's still juicy and delectable.

holy fkin balls the best gua bao EVER

One of the best Gua Bao I've had in Taipei! Definitely a must try!

Soup is a different style. I'm singaporean and we're used to the peppery type of soup. This is a sweeter, milder soup with more herbal cues The gua bao was fantastic. I love the combination of ground peanut and the braised pork. Also really like the fact that u could choose between fat, lean, or half&half. So those of you on a diet can enjoy this with less guilt The braised pork is salty, complemented by the sweetness of the peanuts. The meat is braised till tender and everything really melts in the mouth Will come back again

Love the ge bao!! Very soft and warm. The combination with ground peanut, preserved vege and meat is heavenly!! One is not enough!! Gonna have more before leaving this place! A bit pricey though.

the gua bao 割包 here (TWD 55) was hands down the best one we have ever had. loaded with filling (even to the last bite) and great presentation as well! asked for extra lean and the grandma did not disappoint--the meat was without any fat. it was served quite hot so do let it cool slightly to avoid scalding yourself. the flavor combination of peanut powder and sugar, chopped coriander, preserved vegetables, and intensely flavorful shredded, stewed lean pork meat was quite out of this world. the flavor profile here is leagues apart from other places. the steamed bun was soft, fluffy, somehow resisted becoming soggy, and the perfect companion to the scrumptious filling inside. for those unfamiliar with what a gua bao is, think pulled pork sandwich with Asian style flavors. could easily eat 10 of these, if we were not watching our caloric intake. must try at least once in your life! addendum: best enjoyed within 20 to 30 minutes of purchase. bought one to take home (more than a few hours away) and the gastronomic experience, whilst good, could not hold a candle to the freshly prepared product. update: on recent visits, the meat seemed to be less flavored/seasoned than before. visit(s): 20200702 20200907 20201210 20210905

Best gua bao in Taipei! Slow-cooked braised pork and peanut powder in perfect combination
