Xiao Pin Ya Chu is a representative of late-night dining in Taipei's Zhongshan District. Located at No. 130 Zhongyuan Street, it's a four-minute walk from the Zhongshan Elementary School MRT Station. Open since 1980, this congee and side dish restaurant has been around for over four decades. Awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2024 Michelin Guide, it's renowned for its high-quality, affordable Taiwanese home-style cuisine.<\/p>\n
The restaurant is open daily from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM, specializing in dinner and late-night snacks. They offer approximately 20 to 30 dishes, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dry-roasted eggplant, bitter melon with cloves, and braised pork knuckle. Enjoyed with white congee or rice, the generous portions and light seasonings make them a perfect choice for those craving a refreshing yet satisfying late-night meal.<\/p>\n
While the restaurant isn't large, it boasts a high turnover rate, so even with long lines, the wait isn't usually long. Dining is self-service, with customers selecting their dishes at the counter and having them plated and brought to their seats. A bowl of white porridge is 10 yuan, and white rice is 20 yuan. Dishes typically range from 40 to 80 yuan, making the overall price range quite reasonable.<\/p>\n
