Taiwan Food to Try
If you’re looking for a reason to make the one hour and 40-minute flight, then the promise of food alone should convince you. Imagine rows and rows of streetside specialities, sweet pastries, savory noodles, and so much more. Taiwan is a foodie’s dream come true, and if we have to narrow it down, here are six things you can’t leave without trying:
1. Stinky Tofu - Just as its name so boldly declares, this dish smells. And while the odor will take a lot to get used to, stinky tofu is actually one of the most nutritious street-side dishes you will ever find.
2. Baozi - Baozis are basically stuffed buns filled with anything from pork to veggies, and soup.
3. Salty Soy Breakfast - The traditional breakfast dish is composed of lots of carbs and a strangely delicious lactose-intolerant-friendly bowl of savory soy milk.
4. Milk tea - Taiwan has hundreds, if not thousands of varieties, flavors and brands of milk teas to choose from. And while the “boba” craze has spread across the world, and even if it’s not your thing ordering a glass (or ten) during your trip is a must.
5. Giant Chicken Chops - Who doesn’t enjoy eating crispy fried chicken bigger than your face? These huge fillets are filling on-the-go snacks best enjoyed in the middle of shopping breaks at night markets.
6. Beef Noodle Soup - Like any other noodle soup in the world, this bowl was made to cure anything. The comforting bowl of steaming beef broth and wheat noodles is so popular that it’s often considered as Taiwan’s national dish.
Breakdown of expenses
A trip to Taiwan is fairly affordable especially if you avoid the sit-down restaurants and make do with the delicious choices found along the street. If you want to save even more, you can go on a DIY walking tour -- a lot of temples and tourist spots are free or they charge very minimal admission fees.
This breakdown could go a lot lower or higher, depending on the places you want to visit.
