Yongkang street


YongKang street is just a short street, with its total length not over one kilometer, although it have a high density of great food and culture. Start with the first famous Dintaifung(鼎泰豐) dumplings at the head of the street -- be there early 'cause it's normal to have long line at lunch or dinner time, have a shaved ice with taro atTaroKing(芋頭大王). If you still had some budget, head down the street to Truffleone or La Douceur for delicious chochalate or macaron.

Note that many of the shops here have Japanese menu, this is due to many Japanese travelers came here for Dintaifung, and gradually influence the shops nearby.
