# Bomb Scallion Pancake, the yellow truck on Fuxing Street

Places we stopped along the way　/　Hualien, Taiwan

A scallion-pancake stand built around a yellow light truck. The egg-filled dough is fried in a wide pan of oil, brushed with sweet-and-spicy sauce and handed over in paper. A related stand in a blue truck, run by relatives, is on the same street.

No. 102, Fuxing St., Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan

## This moment in the journey: Egg-filled scallion pancake from a yellow truck

Out in town, a long line had formed at a stall built around a yellow light truck, and it caught my eye. In a wide pan of oil, the dough puffed up almost at once. Apparently it is a fried scallion pancake with an egg inside.

Fresh from the oil, it was brushed with sauce and wrapped in paper. The crisp, chewy dough gave way to a soft, runny egg, and the garlicky sweet-and-spicy sauce suited it perfectly. Irresistible.

Above the stall, a sign reading 炸彈蔥油餅 (bomb scallion pancake) jutted into the blue sky. I had come because I had heard this was the one thing you must eat in Hualien, and it was truly superb.
