I’ve been featuring a lot of breakfast spots lately, so I thought I’d throw a Taiwanese-style breakfast place into the mix. Perfect timing since I’m back at SoCal, the land of the abundant (and tasty) Asian eateries.
Yi Mei Deli Co has been around for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family used to go to the HK Supermarket plaza for weekend dinner excursions, and I would always pass by this small spot located in the supermarket. I finally got around to trying it with some friends, and I’m giving myself a hard time for not doing it sooner.
I ordered a youtiao (Asian “donut”) and danbing (egg pancake), plus a steaming fresh bowl of sweet doujian (soy milk). Everything was prepped quickly, the food was both delicious and fresh, and prices were pretty good, too. I especially enjoyed the soy milk, definitely reminds me of my grandparents’ freshly-pressed soy milk, as well as the donut, which was soft and went well with the soy milk.
Looking forward to exploring more food places in SoCal this summer, as well as some Bay Area and European eats. Stay tuned!
