Originally from Queens, New York City, Tao Rice Rolls moved further west and set up shop in two Texas locations, including the one we are lucky to have in Plano. Tao Rice Rolls serve a wide range of traditional Taiwanese breakfast items with fan tuan front and center. Fan tuan is no one-trick pony. While all are wrapped with a layer of compacted sticky rice filled with pork floss, sweet and savory tufts of fine threads of dried pork, there are fourteen combinations to choose from. If you prefer the traditional option, imagine sticky rice filled with pork floss, youtiao bits (deep-fried hollow dough sticks) and cubed pickled radish. Another favorite is the Taiwan, a mix of sweet, fatty lap Cheong (Chinese sausage), pork floss, youtiao and pickled radish. Their signature Tao roll is ground pork and shiitake mushroom mixture, braised egg, pork floss, sliced lettuce and mayonnaise. Pair your choice of fan tuan with the traditional drink, a glass of in-store made soy milk. This is soy unlike the ones from the cartons in the supermarkets; it's not muted nor masked by vanilla or other flavors, the taste of the soy shines.Or if feeling curious, try the salted option, which is more a soup than a drink, a dairy-free, creamy savory soup accentuated by the texture of crispy youtiao, chewy seaweed and scallion.
