Book street, snack street, teenagers' street, Shin Guang Mitsukoshi, Taipei Station, Taiwan

This area behind Shin Guang Mitsukoshi has been a place for the teenagers where a lot of book shops, snack/dessert/drink shops as well as the auxiliary study courses institutes.
1. not only local snacks/noodle/dumplings, but also many busy shops like stationery, CD...etc.
2. Still the same scene as it has been in the 90's.
3. Egg on Chinese pan cake 蛋煎餅 TWD30 (US$0.8)
4. Pan fried buns 生煎包 TWD10 (US$0.3). I tried one and definitely bought it for my breakfast. Honestly speaking, this shop is even better than Din Tai Feng to me as the shop put the filling as 50/50 for veggie and pork, and I really like the raw taste and the hot and steamy of the buns. My local friends also agreed that this shop opposite to Taiwan Hospital is very good!
5. More more local snacks.
6. this dumpling shop has many branches in HK now.
7. Shin Guang Mitsukoshi used to be the landmark of Taipei before 101.
