The Yi-Ji Scallion Pancake Food Truck in Dajia, Taichung, is located at the intersection of Shuntian Road and Minsheng Road, in front of the Taiwan Bank. Its delicious offerings often attract long lines of customers. The food sells out quickly after opening, especially popular during the 2025 Mazu Pilgrimage period. This food truck specializes in scallion pancakes, priced at NT$50 (including an egg) and NT$65 (with double eggs). The filling uses fresh local scallions and Thai basil, with a crispy outer layer that provides an excellent texture. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance to avoid waiting. Operating hours are 13:30 to 19:00 on weekdays, and 12:30 to 19:00 on weekends.
Near the Zhenlan Temple in Dajia, Taichung, at the intersection of Shuntian Road and Minsheng Road, there is a very popular food truck named "Yiji Nine-Layer Tower Scallion Pancake." Whenever the food truck arrives, it always attracts a large crowd and usually sells out within four hours, so friends wishing to taste it are advised to come early! With the Mazu pilgrimage coming up in 2025, food lovers should not miss out on this delicious dish.
Although this is just a small blue truck stall, it is one of the must-try foods for locals in Dajia, and it has been highly recommended by an old customer with rich memories. Locals choose to call in advance to place orders, so they can pick up their food and leave without wasting time in line. Inside this small food truck, there are six employees, each with clear roles, working like a factory assembly line—rolling dough, filling scallions, frying pancakes, brushing sauce, and sprinkling pepper.
The cleanliness of this food truck is truly impressive, as the owner's pursuit of cleanliness is evident; the surfaces where meals are prepared show almost no grease, and any sauce that accidentally spills is immediately wiped clean, making it one of the cleanest food trucks I have seen. This place specializes in Nine-Layer Tower Scallion Pancakes, with two price options: the regular version with egg for NT$50 and the double egg version for NT$65. Most customers find the regular version quite delicious, but I personally prefer the double egg version, which is particularly satisfying. The flavor of the eggs pairs exceptionally well with the scallion pancake, so if you come here, I recommend going straight for the double egg version; you definitely won't be disappointed.
You might think this is just a regular scallion pancake, but "Yiji Nine-Layer Tower Scallion Pancake" has its unique qualities! The "scallion" used here is a local product from Dajia that is rich in moisture and has a strong scallion flavor; it is not spicy at all, and combined with fresh Nine-Layer Tower, the fragrance bursts out when you take a bite. The outer layer is fried to a golden crisp, while the inside is soft and elastic, paired with soy sauce paste that is truly intoxicating.
Don’t forget to ask the lady in charge of brushing the sauce to add some spicy sauce! The blend of spicy sauce with the salty-sweet soy sauce paste elevates the flavor of the scallion pancake even further! This food truck almost always sells out within four hours, so it is recommended to arrive early during the Mazu pilgrimage in 2025. Otherwise, you’ll just be left drooling watching others enjoy it. The key point is that whether eaten fresh or cold, the deliciousness of the scallion pancake does not diminish; when cold, the fragrance of the Nine-Layer Tower even becomes more pronounced, making it irresistible. Personally, I often cannot wait and eat it straight away without waiting for it to cool down.
The operating hours of Yiji Nine-Layer Tower Scallion Pancake are as follows:

- Saturday to Sunday: 12:30-19:00
