Description

Join us on an unforgettable Taipei food tour and discover the city’s vibrant culinary scene through the eyes of a local. Over the course of your tour, you’ll taste 10+ dishes, from beloved Taiwanese classics to hidden gems you’d likely miss on your own. Your journey begins at the buzzing Shida Night Market, where narrow alleys are filled with sizzling grills and the aroma of freshly cooked street food. Start with a juicy pork bun bursting with savory soup, followed by crispy spring onion bacon rolls and grilled tofu skin — all prepared right before your eyes. Next, indulge in Taiwan’s ultimate comfort food: fried chicken with a signature crunch locals can’t resist. From here, wander into the Taipei University district, a lively hub where students fuel themselves with some of the best late-night bites in the city. We’ll then guide you to Yongkang Street, a hotspot blending tradition and modern flair. Sip one of the world’s best bubble teas, savor a steaming bowl of lu rou fan (braised pork rice), and try Tainan-style meatballs with a shrimp surprise. No Taipei food adventure is complete without a flaky scallion pancake layered with egg and basil — a true street-side favorite. Finally, end your feast with a comforting bowl of dou hua (silky tofu pudding) topped with tapioca pearls, brown sugar, and jellies. Along the way, your local guide will share the fascinating stories behind each dish, revealing how food reflects Taiwan’s history and culture. And of course, you’ll enjoy our Secret Dish, a one-of-a-kind local specialty you won’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s your first time in Taiwan or your fifth, this tour offers the perfect mix of discovery, flavor, and authentic connection. By the end, you’ll have experienced Taipei not just as a visitor, but as a true insider.
