I eat JSP often and really like the food for the most part. The others have been mediocre at best. Occasionally I’ll stumble across a pretty decent and unique danbing place or charcoal sandwich shop like one I really loved in Taoyuan but I can’t find it on Google maps anymore
Laya Burger, but only for their danbing. Their burgers suck.
“It’s my Laya burger.” The fuck does that mean? Chinglish nearly as bad as “Let’s Cafe.”
Perhaps Q Burger, of the ones I regularly go to? I’ve never noticed a JSP; I’m not sure what Hong ya or Hong ye are. I go to MWD the most, since there’s a branch beside my nearest PXMart, and another right next to my office - but even those two branches vary in quality (one is good for hash browns; at the other, they’re stuck to the little paper packets and disintegrate rather than slide out).
MWD, the last two times, two different locations, had a very negative and immediate effect on my usually strong stomach. Coupled with the mediocre food, now I avoid.
I liked that they had an English menu, because I can’t read Chinese. Lack of English menus generally in addition to the low quality of average food here means I rarely try new restaurants
Have never tried any of the others, so my answer would be I’d rather have McDonald’s breakfast
Shit I forgot laya burger
There’s a place a stone’s throw away from my home that makes a delicious chicken burger as big as your head for NT$55. Philippine lao ban speaks excellent English. I doubt it’s a chain, though.
I noticed that most of the locally owned breakfast shops are actually awful. Worst than the chains
In the cities, right? I think the rents are leading to cost squeeze.
In the countryside, it’s a different story, with the danbing actually tasting like real danbing.
As to the chains you’re dealing with industrial foods, prepared in a factory somewhere far far away. I’m tired of this stuff and now try to avoid it.

I go to one that makes a cheese and hashbrown danbing. It’s always great. They don’t have English menu but the first few times I went with a colleague and always have the same thing, so now when they see me they know. Its is close to home, so i don’t experiment for breakfast restaurants
But I’m more likely to cook or skip breakfast
Me too. I only get a takeaway on weekends.
They’re the same. Hong Ya used to be my jam. But the one I liked closed.
I usually go to these places for lunch, not breakfast. And it’s junk food: I try to limit it to once a week, although sometimes laziness prevails. Or when forced to choose between a breakfast chain and an unknown Taiwanese restaurant with, as you say, mild ordering hassles.
It says you can’t change it after 5 minutes
永和豆漿大王 or in a pinch any soy bean milk or baozi shop. Usually can’t go wrong.
I don’t have a favourite one, but I always call “Morning Glory” to MWD. To me, the M had to be for “morning”, then I didn’t know what W and D meant, so: morning glory.
And yeah, I know the slang meaning.
Mei and Mei.
JSP. Decent menu, prices, decoration and not overly busy.
Laya is decent, but I feel its gone down hill in recent years, their menu is odd.
Q burger is good but in my area its always offensively busy. no seats and 30 minutes for a dan bing. No.
The smaller places are better imo. The ones with less customers that haven’t been cleaned or changed the decoration in 30 yrs.
Non.
