Taiwanese people love their food: a mixture of Chinese, Taiwanese aboriginal, Japanese and Western influence. A lot of food is consumed on the go, be it breakfast or snacks – the snacks are the best!
buns and their signature shao bing pancake at 興隆居 Xing Long Ju in Kaohsiung – a perfect start to the day 
a very traditional dish of salty soy milk – 鹹豆漿 – an acquired taste 
more 燒餅 ‘shao bing’ – a small pastry filled with either savory or sweet fillings, topped off with sesame seeds, here from 果貿來來豆漿 Guo Mao Lai Lai in Kaohsiung 
egg waffles – often used like a sandwich and stuffed with meats, cheeses and salad…this one is pure but oh so delightful 
pastry shaped like a bull’s horn (or croissant), famous for the town of Sanxia 三峽 – can be bought at any corner there 
天津蔥抓餅 Tian Jin Onion Pancake in Taipei – flaky scallion pancakes, worth all the grease 
Angel Fried Chicken – Street Food in Kaohsiung – lines will be long but service is quite fast 
grilled corn from a night market in Kaohsiung – a bit of a disappointment – the corn was fine but the sauce the lady slapped on it was vile 
traditional zong zi – rice packages wrapped in leaves 
fried taro balls at a night market in Taipei – these were incredible! 
shaky shot of mangos 
the best of Taiwan – fruits! we consumed mangos by the kilos, they were juicy, tangy and sweet 
Don’t forget dessert! 雪王冰淇淋 Snow King Ice Cream in Taipei – a bit expensive and touristy but solid ice cream for the adventurous tastebuds 
a traditional sweet soup in Jiufen made out of glutinous rice and taro 
perfect for replenishing water and electrolytes – coconuts ready to drink 
木瓜牛奶 – Papaya milk shakes are sold everywhere and super delicious 
bubble was invented in Taiwan and the Taiwanese love their sweet tea concoctions – this brand is quite on trend right now due to their tiger milk and black sugar drink 
tea drink with cheese foam
