Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯), Serving the Four Spirits Soup (四神湯), Taiwan's Unique and Traditional Gourmet Food, in Wanhua, Taipei, Taiwan!


At noon of Jun. 20, 2020, my friends and I had lunch together. We headed to MRT Ximen Station (捷運西門站), Taipei, Taiwan. The restaurant we visited was Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯), the time-honored restaurant in Wanhua, Taipei.


Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯) had established since 1965. It was the very famous restaurant in Wanhua, Taipei!


Besides its branch in Wanhua, Taipei, there was the other branch across the bridge, in Sanchong, New Taipei!


The takeout customer visited here one after another that day. Besides cash, customer could pay by credit cards via the mobile payment, JKOPay (街口支付). It was very convenient for customers. 


The signature here was, of course, the four sprits soup (四神湯)!


The four spirits soup (四神湯) was mainly based on the 4 medicine herbs, adlay (薏仁), poria (茯苓), Chinese yam (淮山) and gordon euryale seed (芡實). Moreover, the four spirits soup (四神湯) contained the other 33 kinds of medicine herbs, like dong quai (當歸) and licorice!


We had our lunch inside Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯). It was very comfortable for us to have lunch in the air-conditioned space.


I ordered a bowl of general four spirits soup (綜合四神湯) at 70 TWD (= 2.37 USD) and a pork bun (古早肉包) at 10 TWD (= 0.34 USD).


Our meals were quickly served!


My friends also ordered the cold noodles (冷麵麻醬) and braised pork rice (滷肉飯). They both looked good!


Of course, the signature here, four spirits soup (四神湯), was the food I'd like to try at first!


Because the dong quai (當歸) and licorice (甘草) was included in the soup, the four sprits soup (四神湯) had not only the aroma from dong quai (當歸) but also the sweetness from licorice (甘草).


There were so many adlays in the soup. I was satisfied with the amount of adlays.


The pork intestines in the soup were not only many and large but also fresh and springy without any odor!


The pork diaphragm in the soup also tasted great!


The stuffing of pork bun stroke a good balance between the fat and lean meat, but its wrapper was slightly thick.


The pork bun tasted good with the sweet chili sauce.


And then I additionally ordered the marinated duck egg (滷鴨蛋) at 10 TWD (= 0.34 USD) each.


The duck eggs absorbed the marinade very well, but its egg yolk was hard-boiled. Although it tasted not bad, I still preferred the soft-boiled eggs to hard-boiled eggs.


Personally speaking, I strongly recommend Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯)! Huian Four Sprits Soup (惠安四神湯) not only looks historic but also serves Taiwan's unique gourmet foods!
