Taipei Daily Life: Heartwarming Stories | Late-Night Reading & Bedtime Stories | Taipei Streets: Old Shops & City Memories | Healing & Taiwanese Warmth | 2 AM Bookstores & Original Stories 🍵 An old tea shop on Yongkang Street. The owner opens at nine every morning, polishing each of his tin tea jars, older than himself. He remembers the stories of every customer—the nursing student who comes for tea every Wednesday night, the middle-aged man who comes for tea and betel nuts on the last Friday of every month, the old man who comes to look at the tin tea jars every Friday afternoon but never buys tea. He says, some people come for tea not because they're thirsty, but because they miss someone. 🦐 A general store in Dadaocheng. The proprietress's fingers are rough from years of contact with salt. She keeps an account book, not for money, but for people—"Mrs. Li, dried scallops, December 30th, reserved." "Mr. Wang, dried squid, every Monday, extra soft strips." Every Lunar New Year, she would cook a large pot of bamboo shoot and pork rib soup in front of her shop and offer it free to people browsing the New Year's market. She said that everyone who comes to Dihua Street comes for that most important meal of the year. 🎵 Along the Tamsui River, at dusk, the setting sun dyes the entire river surface gold. An old fisherman sits on a bench on the riverbank every day, with a very old radio beside him, always playing Jiang Hui's "After Home." When he was young, he would haul in his nets on the river, and his wife would wait for him on the riverbank every evening, wearing a red coat. After she left, he still came every day. He said, "As long as the coat is here, she is here too." 🥟 In a very narrow alley in Wanhua, there is a breakfast shop without a sign. Every day at four in the morning, the owner gets up to knead the dough, reserving the first ten buns for the elderly woman living alone next door—the filling is finely chopped, the dough extra soft, and on Thursdays she secretly switches to cabbage filling because it's the anniversary of her late husband's death. He loved chive-filled buns, but now she can't bite into chives anymore. This isn't fiction; it's the most authentic everyday life on the streets of Taipei. They're like a late-night diner, with only one dish on the menu, but everyone who walks in can find their own bowl of hot soup.
