Do you love food?? Well, the heck we do!!!
Fortunately, our recent trip allowed us to munch our way around
Taiwan=)
Just so to share our tummy filling experience, from street-finds to
rated 5 stars… We've decided to make a little compilation of the best treats the
country has to offer.
A foodie with deep desire to explore the rich flavors of Asia, but on a
tight budget?? Fret not, as Taipei City in Taiwan offers outrageously wide
varieties of food at affordable prices.
Read on!
Din Tai Fung Restaurant
A must visit award winning restaurant! You need to taste its legendary
Xiao Long Bao 小籠包
Xiao Long Bao
Two thumbs up! You can taste the freshness of
the Xiao Long Bao. Its wrap is soft and delicate, paper thin but elastic enough
to hold the soup without breaking easily. In devouring this small piece of art,
you can actually feel the hot well-seasoned broth oozing while slowly sinking
your teeth on the flavorful tender pork meatball.
Fried Pork Chop
A very well marinated, thinly sliced piece of
meat.. you can’t stop eating til’ you've savored it all up.
Mango Shaved Ice
This is usually my favorite during the hot
season. A mountain of shaved ice covered with fresh mango cubes, flavoring, and
condensed milk. (Note: If you live in the Philippines, you won’t appreciate it
as much, coz Philippine mangoes tend to be sweeter)
Fried Chicken Fillet
An over-sized chicken fillet, deeply fried till
crisp- with generous amount of seasonings added when served.
Pan Friend Buns

Pan Friend Buns
Like our usual siopaos, these buns are made of white
Chinese dough; However, instead of it being steamed, the buns are pan-fried.
Biting-in would divulge a savory porky filling.
Taiwan's Black Bridge Sausage
SOooo addicting! Chunky sweet sausages grilled to perfection..nom nom nom...a must try!
Believe me, even Atchi can't get enough of it.
Foodnotes:
> Eating is the best part of the Taiwanese culture, as small bites are
their thing.
> To save you the stomach space, tour the country with more friends...
That way, you could share orders which would allow you to try more variants ;p
