Tianjin Goubuli Soup Dumpling

The name of “Tianjin Goubuli” is often associated with baozi (buns), but the Tianjin Goubuli near TRA Taichung Train Station serves up traditional soup dumplings with meaty broth encased in steamed dough.

Located in the heart of Taichung City, Tianjin Goubuli is a small restaurant with a very limited variety of dishes yet always packed with customers, tourists and locals alike. Some prefer biting a hole in the top of each dumpling and performing a preemptive slurping of the soup, while others advocate cooling one’s heels until the entire dumpling can be popped into the mouth, including soup and everything. In any case, you would love the joy you feel when the soup hit your tongue. Next time when you are in Taichung, make sure not miss out on this a-hundred-old delicacy that dazzles its customers with a scent of history.
