“Jiajji Charcoal Grilled Buns” has been operating locally for over 30 years, with each charcoal grilled bun priced at only 20 NT dollars, making it a familiar snack for the residents of Donggang since childhood. This old shop has gained immense popularity due to media and online bloggers' recommendations, becoming a popular place that attracts long lines and a large number of tourists. While some people comment online that "it's just grilled buns," those who taste it in person will find the pure aroma of charcoal irresistible. I personally really enjoy this delicacy. Although this white steamed bun is small, it is filled with everyday happiness. However, if food enthusiasts come specifically due to its fame and have high expectations, they might feel disappointed.
This unique store is co-managed by second-generation brothers Li Zhanyun and Li Zhengxiang, whose father has been making buns for over 40 years, and the shop has been in business for more than 30 years. Since opening, the store prepares fresh dough every day, placing the steamed soft and chewy buns on a traditional charcoal stove to grill them, filling them with pork chops and eggs, transforming them into a savory “Grilled Pork Egg Bun,” while adding sauce creates the sweet “Condensed Milk Grilled Bun.” Additionally, there are several flavors to choose from, including corn egg, tuna egg, fish floss egg, chocolate, milk candy, and peanut, with the buns being of a moderate size, perfect for tasting both savory and sweet flavors.
- “Grilled Pork Egg Bun” (front, 45 NT dollars each) and “Condensed Milk Grilled Bun” (back, 20 NT dollars each) are two popular flavors, sized just right for each person to enjoy one of each.
- The store also offers “Mixed Sandwiches” made with toast grilled on charcoal, priced at 70 NT dollars, with a delicious taste.
- Additionally, there is the “Cucumber Egg Pancake,” which has a refreshing taste and costs 35 NT dollars.
Whether before heading out to sea at five in the morning to fish, or while tourists are taking a boat to Xiaoliuqiu, everyone habitually comes to pack a bun, enjoying the fragrant buns to welcome the new day.
