Make like a local on a food tasting tour of Taipei and learn why the city is known for its tasty mash-up of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Hear about the rich food heritage as you eat at hole-in-the wall places, explore local markets, and discover city highlights between stops. Sample savory scallion pancakes, and stop at a 40-year-old sushi stand where the owners wake at dawn to prepare the rice. Learn how to use chopsticks like an expert to sample sushi at its best. See where the locals buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and other ingredients at Dongmen Market. Pick-up some refreshing pineapple, share a fish ball broth and bite into the best roasted sweet potatoes. Enjoy a typical Chinese meat pie and quench your thirst with a healthy soy drink. Sit down to a local signature braised pork with rice, and top it all off with a visit to a typical university food stop to mingle with the students as you enjoy a tempura snack with warm barbecue sauce. End with a mochi rice cake at a traditional Japanese food shop.
