We started out at an open market with plenty of fresh fruit and walked to a small restaurant where we had Taiwanese dumplings and hot & sour soup.
After a short walk we picked up some bubble tea. Bubble tea is one of my favourite things. You can find it sometimes in Czechland but it's not very good at all. In Asia I tend to drink litres of it.
Then it was on to a small corner stand in the Da'an District called Tianjin that is known for the best scallion pancakes in the city. Less of a pancake and more like a flaky grilled flatbread. Savoury and quite tasty.
Beef noodle soup is one of the best known dishes in Taiwan. It is made from braised beef, beef broth, vegetables and noodles.
It was a lot of food. Not full sized portions but enough to try lots of different things and feel completely full. The few kilometres of walking helped keep us from feeling done in.
It also allowed us to have room at our final stop for some shaved ice with mango and taro. The tour was great and highly recommended.
It's easy to eat well in Taipei. If there's no English then you get by with hand gestures. Although this doesn't mean that you won't have a few adventures along the way.
