Taiwanese Pork Belly Sandwich at Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家割包) - FAMOUS Taiwanese Street Food in Taipei!

►Download my free street food guide: http://migrationology.com/41-irresistible-meals/ Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家割包) is one of the most popular and most well known street food stalls in Taipei that serves gua bao, a Taiwanese pork belly sandwich. Sometimes known as a Taiwanese burger or hamburger, a gua bao consists of a piece of steamed Chinese bread (similar to the bread that’s used in any Chinese baozi steamed bun), filled with braised pork belly and in this case some braised greens, topped with peanuts and maybe a few extra small seasonings, and then wrapped into the bun and served. Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家割包) is located near Gongguan MRT station and just a short walk from National Taiwan University, and so when we arrived the entire street was just packed out full of students - most of whom I assume went to the nearby university. The stall is so popular that it, along with the Taiwanese bubble tea restaurant next door, combine to nearly shut down the entire corner of the street due to the amount of people. So anyway, the line at Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家割包) didn’t take too long, and it was soon my time to order one of these treasured Taiwanese pork belly sandwiches. She first took a piece of steamed bread, which was kept hot and fresh on a steamer before being used. Then filled in a combination of half fatty and half meaty braised pork, and then added in some braised mustard greens (I think), and finally sprinkled on some sweet crushed peanuts. She then folded it like a giant taco and served it to me. Along with my gua bao, I also tried their corn soup, another famous thing they serve at Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家割包). I wasn’t thinking the corn soup would be all that great, but it was actually incredibly good - with a really pronounced corn flavor, and with tender chunks of pork within as well. After getting our gua bao, we then went across the street to a place called Chen San Ding (陳三鼎黑糖粉圓專賣店), perhaps and even more famous street food stall, known for serving the famous Taiwanese boba bubble milk drink. I’m not really sure if it was really supposed to be tea or not, but this version tasted tea-less, only with the boba bubbles, which had a bit of a molasses brown sugar flavor to them, and creamy milk. Ying my wife really liked it, but it wasn’t my favorite.
