Illustrative Nan-Bei Dumpling House at 117 He-Ping Street in Taitung City has been around for more than forty years.

Orders are taken on handwritten slips, sauces are self-serve, and spice fans should ask for the house peeled-chilli condiment. The two-storey room is often packed; lunch runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., dinner 5 to 8:30 p.m., with an average spend of about NT$400 per head.
