Yonghe scallion pancake is a New Taipei breakfast flatbread made by folding scallions and pepper into dough, rolling and coiling it, then pan-frying until the crust turns golden and crisp with distinct layers. Its flagship shop, Yonghe Jiaxiang Soy Milk — an offshoot of Jiaxiang Dim Sum King in Jingmei, Taipei — earned a Bib Gourmand recommendation when the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Taiwan evaluated New Taipei City for the first time, and was named one of the '8 dishes inspectors loved most.' At five each morning, the sizzle of hot oil hitting the pan breaks the quiet on Yonghe's Minzhi Street.
Yonghe Jiaxiang Soy Milk is located on Minzhi Street in Yonghe District and traces its lineage to Jiaxiang Dim Sum King in Jingmei, Wenshan District, Taipei, which also has branches in Muzha and Tucheng — it has no connection to the widely known chain brand 'Yonghe Soy Milk.' When the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Taiwan evaluated New Taipei City for the first time, the shop received a Bib Gourmand recommendation and was named one of the '8 dishes inspectors loved most'; inspectors praised the scallion pancake's golden, crispy, sesame-scented crust and its elastic dough with natural wheat aroma, with scallion and pepper seasoning that enhances rather than overwhelms.
What is a Yonghe scallion pancake?
A scallion pancake is a traditional breakfast bread made by kneading flour into dough, folding in scallions and pepper, repeatedly rolling it out, spreading oil, rolling it up, and flattening it again. Pan-fried until golden, the outside is crispy and the inside has distinct layers with a springy chew — a classic item on Taiwanese breakfast menus. The Yonghe scallion pancake is known for its especially elastic dough and prominent pepper flavor. Freshly made and then folded around a half-cooked egg, the yolk flows into the bread's layers; paired with unsweetened soy milk, this is the local breakfast formula. One scallion pancake with egg and one bowl of savory soy milk is the breakfast Yonghe people know by heart.
Yonghe Jiaxiang Soy Milk is located on Minzhi Street in Yonghe and is one of the breakfast shops officially named among the "8 dishes most loved by inspectors" in the 2025 Michelin Guide New Taipei Bib Gourmand. The Michelin commentary specifically mentions the scallion pancake's "golden crispy exterior and elastic dough." One important distinction: Jiaxiang Soy Milk has no direct connection to the widely known chain brand "Yonghe Soy Milk." Yonghe is one of the origins of Taiwan's soy milk culture — early mainland-born veterans set up several 24-hour soy milk shops here, gradually creating the nationwide association between Yonghe and soy milk. Jiaxiang is a representative old-timer within this food lineage.
