Not necessarily the best meals (or places), but the meals (or places) that best represent your culture.

    Taiwan: Come visit us!! The majority of the foods on my list youq can get at most night markets.

    1. Beef Noodle Soup - You’ve gotta try the beef noodle soup; it’s practically the national dish! Imagine slurping down spicy broth with tender braised beef and hearty noodles. Total comfort food.

    2. Bubble Tea - No trip to Taiwan is complete without bubble tea. It’s the perfect combo of tea, milk, and those addictive tapioca pearls. Totally worth the hype!

    3. Gua Bao - Think of Gua Bao as the Taiwanese burger. It’s a fluffy steamed bun stuffed with juicy pork belly, sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro. So good.

    4. Stinky Tofu - It might smell funky, but stinky tofu is a must-try street food. Dare yourself to try it fried up crispy with some pickled cabbage on the side.

    5. Lu Rou Fan - This is a go-to comfort dish: simple braised pork over rice. It’s unassuming but unbelievably tasty.

    6. Oyster Omelette - This is a unique mix of eggs and oysters with a sweet potato starch that gives it a chewy texture, topped with a sweet and spicy sauce.

    7. Pineapple Cake - For a sweet treat, grab a pineapple cake. It’s a crumbly, buttery pastry with pineapple jam inside—a perfect souvenir too.

    8. Dumplings - You can’t go wrong with dumplings, steamed or fried. Dip them in soy sauce and chili and you’re set.

    9. Shaved Ice - To cool down, shaved ice is perfect, especially piled high with toppings like red beans and fruit.

    10. Mango Shaved Ice - Upgrade to mango shaved ice if you’re there in mango season. Fresh mango with shaved ice and condensed milk? Yes, please!

    We are super friendly too and the majority of the population speaks English.
