What travelers think of our Taipei experiences
What you’ll do
Three square meals a day is not a thing in Taipei - it’s all about pushing yourself here, and indulging in as many delicious dishes as you possibly can with your local Taipei host by your side.
Allow them to navigate you through the bustling streets of the city and deliver you straight to the doorsteps of the best markets and local eateries. They’ll encourage you to try various delicacies, some of which might be quite ominous-looking, but all are equally tasty, trust us!
Sample some beef noodles, pepper buns, flame-torched sausages, and soup dumplings. Are you brave enough for stinky tofu? We reckon you are.
Learn all about ingredients you never knew even existed and immerse yourself in this steamy world of culinary brilliance. Some modern apartments are built without kitchens because the nation’s kitchen is outside on the streets.
Now that’s confidence in their street food scene.
