Due to my rigid itinerary in the previous destinations, the one thing missing from my agenda was the enjoyment of the local cuisine (not counting the cow party which was special onto itself). Taipei turned out to be the culinary tour that I’d hoped for but denied of due to my time limitations. I completely lucked out that my family loves to eat be the local guide. Anna, Tommy, and Tommy’s Dad (William a native Taiwanese) has some serious knowledge and connections when it comes to the “secret” places to eat. Here are some yummy, tentalizing food pictures. You can find more pictures in the slideshow link.
My visit to Taipei was sweet, very sweet! I will need to come back to visit the family and the food especially the fried rice. Next time I'd like to see and hike the mountains.
The best fried rice I've ever eaten, perfect balance of flavors and texture...yummy!
"Mango Bing (ice)", I'm deliriously happy to eat this given the hot + humid day.
Sea urchin on rice, reluctant at first but I liked it after the first bite.
huge prawns with glass noodle in a simple broth.
