| Taipei. Dongmen | 'Exaggerated Antique Cafe' is a cafe I stumbled upon on the map. What caught my eye was the blue wooden window frame surrounding the entrance of an old military dependents' village house. Inside, the cafe is filled with nostalgic furniture and old items collected by the owner, stacked in every corner (you'll keep saying 'so cute~ so cool~ so nostalgic~). On weekday afternoons, there aren't many people, and the energetic and straightforward owner warmly greets you. I chose the lemon-flavored signature tiramisu, #CoffeeLemonTiramisu, which has an ice cream-like texture. The slight bitterness of the coffee paired with the sugar crystals and lemon slices on top is truly delicious!! The pudding has a simple and rustic appearance, with a smooth texture, though it might be a bit too sweet if I had to nitpick!! Finally, pairing it with a latte featuring the owner's cute hand-drawn designs, you can quietly enjoy a nostalgic afternoon~ it's quite nice. 🔰 Coffee Lemon Tiramisu / $150 🔰 Iced Latte / $180 🔰 Adult's Pudding / (forgot the price) Note that there are some areas in the cafe where photography is not allowed, as per the owner's only rule, which includes the Buddha table and the menu (but the menu is really cute too)~ please respect this. ✅ Exaggerated Antique Cafe 📍 Address｜No. 40-5, Linyi Street, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City ⏰ Business Hours｜13:00-19:00 Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

If you ask me where in Taipei is perfect for slowing down and truly enjoying the essence of life, I would definitely recommend Dongmen. Unlike bustling tourist spots, Dongmen has a rhythm that feels just right: a blend of old houses and new shops, hidden craftsmanship in small alleys, and irresistible desserts 🍰 and coffee aromas ☕ that keep you coming back. Step out of Dongmen MRT Station 🚉, and within a few steps, you'll find yourself on Yongkang Street. This area is filled with stylish little shops 🛍️, whether you're craving authentic beef noodles 🍜, looking for a hand-brewed coffee to relax, or hunting for creative and cultural goods 🎨, Dongmen won't disappoint. Photography enthusiasts 📷 will also fall in love with the play of light and colors here—every red brick wall or old window can become the perfect backdrop for your shots. In the afternoon 🌇, why not choose a coffee shop housed in a renovated old building, order a latte ☕, and quietly savor the rare tranquility in the city 🍃. If you're someone who enjoys discovering surprises while strolling, then Dongmen is a destination worth adding to your collection 💛.

🔺Will recommend to friends 💰avg. 500 / person Every seat has a good view of the sun. I ordered a smoked brisket croissant and iced latte. The croissant was crispy and delicious, but there was too much fat from the brisket and Thousand Island dressing, which prevented the freshness of the sesame leaves from coming out. The latte was okay. The tragedy was that although my seat had a good view, it was extremely difficult to sit and I couldn't happily eat croissants at the table. Moreover, I was wearing a white dress that day and was worried about getting it dirty. The friendly clerk immediately noticed my predicament and took out a black cloth to rescue me. How thoughtful! 2025.04

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It was super delicious. You could even take a photo of the waiter slicing the duck. There were many creative dishes. My favorite was the duck jowl. I didn’t know you could eat it before. There was a dish of roasted oranges + caviar + scones. It was the first time I ate caviar in my life and the combination was really delicious. The food came out very quickly and the atmosphere was great. However, it is difficult to park at this location. It is recommended to take the MRT to Dongmen Station. It is about a 3-minute walk from Yongkang Street. Address: 2F, No. 2, Section 2, Jinshan South Road, Da'an District, Taipei City Tel: 0223223789 Business hours: Monday to Friday 11:30 ~ 14:30 (Last order 14:00) 17:30 ~ 22:00 (Last order 21:00) Saturday~Sunday 11:00 ~ 14:30 (Last order 14:00) 17:00 ~ 22:00 (Last order 21:00)

I had brunch at Dongmen today, it was delicious

Taipei's North Gate, also known as 'Cheng'en Gate,' is one of the five remaining gates of Taipei City, boasting over a century of history. The North Gate is not only an important landmark of old Taipei City but also a significant witness to the modern urban development of Taiwan. Today, this ancient structure exudes a unique historical charm amidst the modern city, attracting countless visitors to stop and admire. Highlight 1: The Time Imprint of the Qing Dynasty Ancient City The North Gate was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1884) as an important defensive facility of Taipei City. The overall design combines the architectural features of traditional Chinese city gates, with a simple yet majestic appearance. The integration of red bricks, stone, and wooden structures showcases the architectural craftsmanship of the time. The high, upturned eaves on top of the gate add a strong classical atmosphere. Highlight 2: Witness to Urban Transformation With the passage of time, other city gates were gradually demolished, but the North Gate was preserved, becoming a historical witness to Taipei's urban development. Especially during different stages such as the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese colonial period, and the post-war era, the surroundings and uses of the North Gate constantly changed, but it always stood in the city center, witnessing Taipei's transformation from an ancient city to a modern metropolis. Highlight 3: Night Lighting, Unique Splendor The current North Gate has been renovated and protected, with lighting added at night, creating a unique atmosphere that is both solemn and romantic. It is recommended to visit at night to appreciate the historical sense under the lights, which also becomes a captivating scene for photography enthusiasts. Highlight 4: Cultural Exploration Around There are many cultural attractions worth visiting around the North Gate, including Bopiliao Historical Block, Dadaocheng, and the Taipei Postal Museum. After visiting the North Gate, take a stroll to the nearby Dihua Street to savor local delicacies and traditional culture, offering an excellent experience of exploring Taipei's history. Travel Tips: 1. Best Time: Visit after the lights are on in the evening for the best night view photography. 2. Transportation: It is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Beimen MRT Station. 3. Notes: Respect the historical site, avoid climbing and damaging the building; it is recommended to use guided tours to learn more historical stories. Summary: The North Gate of the Prefecture City is not only a historical epitome of Taipei but also an important symbol of Taiwan's cultural heritage. In the bustling modern city, this historical site quietly tells the stories of the past. Whether you want to deeply understand Taipei's history or simply admire the beauty of ancient architecture, the North Gate is a must-visit tourist attraction. Next time you visit Taipei, don't forget to see the century-old splendor of the North Gate!

This time I came to this restaurant and pub in Dongmen, which has a very advantageous location, right at the exit of Dongmen MRT station. The entrance is not very conspicuous, and the restaurant is long and narrow. It should be noted that the minimum consumption on the first floor and upstairs is different 🫶🏻I cannot comment on the wine list because I don’t drink alcohol ~ but the savory pasta, corn chips, and fried food platters are all pretty good, but it is still a store with a relatively high price. I want to go to Hong Kong to eat yum cha! #Recommendations for restaurants and pubs #Win Hong Kong air tickets

This is a famous beef noodle restaurant located within a 5-minute walk from Dongmen Station in Taipei! This time I ordered noodles that were half beef and half tendon 😳 The meat was tender and very delicious, and the beef tendon had a bouncy texture that was irresistible ✨ Of course, they are famous for their beef noodles, but the seasoning of their other small dishes is also quite good, and I personally thought the "fried eggplant" was extremely delicious 😍 By the way, the noodles are usually wheat noodles, but they also have rice flour noodles (rice vermicelli)! When you go to Yongkang Beef Noodles, I definitely recommend ordering and trying the small dishes 🔥 #Taiwanese cuisine #Taiwanese gourmet #Yongkang beef noodles #Taiwan

I came to Dongmen Yongkang Shopping District to stroll around. There is a well-known souvenir shop outside the MRT Exit 6. Their famous nougat is really delicious. It doesn't stick to your teeth and is full of fragrance. It contains peanut and sesame fillings. Another coffee item is also good, with an old-fashioned fu #localtourism #foodie
