Fu Hang Dou Jiang is probably the most popular breakfast spot in Taipei. If you show up at 9 AM and your wait is less than half an hour, it’s a good day.

Luckily, there’s entertainment while you wait — you can watch breakfast being made live.

The line also moves quickly because they dole out soybean milk like a well-oiled machine.

The rice ball is like a large onigiri or a breakfast burrito where glutinous rice replaces the tortilla. The fillings can vary, but they usually involve crunchy cruller bits, pickled vegetables, and meat floss (the English translation of that is not optimal — it tastes better than it sounds).
