Minced pork rice is a staple of local Taiwanese fare, you can pretty much find it in any Taiwanese restaurant or local food stall. But if you want to try a bowl of minced pork rice that’s particularly bomb, then get yours at Jin Feng Minced Pork.
Ahh, hotpot is something that Taiwanese people all know and love. There are many delicious hotpot places in Taipei you can try, but if you want one with a pork and taro broth, then try the one at Black Samurai Hot Pot.
Do like the locals and try out that bomb Taiwanese breakfast. At Fu Hang Dou Jiang you will definitely be getting one of the best-tasting Taiwanese breakfasts around, you can just tell by the line that forms out front every morning.
To try that authentic Taiwanese home cookin’, head over to James Kitchen on Yongkang Rd. This place is pretty much as authentic as it gets, and every dish is cooked to perfection to boot.
You can’t say you understand Taiwanese food if you have never visited a Taiwanese night market. This is the stuff that Taiwanese people LIVE for. Once you find yourself loving all the night market foods, then you can be sure you’ve got yourself a Taiwanese palate.
