I Love Taipei (The Last Hurrah)

My time in Taipei has reached a bittersweet end so this will be my last post on food/restaurant in Taipei. I spent the last few days eating some of my favorite foods:

Truffle XLB 松露小籠包

 

 

Vegetable & Pork Wonton w/ Spicy Sauce 菜肉紅油抄手

 

 

Thousand Year Old Egg and Tofu 皮蛋豆腐

 

 

Shrimp Wontons 鮮蝦大餛飩

 

 

Shaved Ice 雪花冰

 

 

Tofu with Peanut

 

Chicken Soup with Lotus Flower

 

 

Honey Toast 蜜糖土司

 

 

Stinky Tofu 臭豆腐

 

 

Despite my relocation, I will not stop posting! I can’t wait for my next culinary destination!

BIG CHINESE CHARACTERS IN YOUR FACE!

Can you spot my friend? Haha

 

 

Sweet and Sour Soup (20NT)

I always take my sweet and sour soup with some powdered pepper. 

This is atypical breakfast food item for me but I made an exception that morning. 

 

 

Steamed Dumplings  [蒸餃 Zheng Jiao]   (3NT per dumpling, 30NT per steamer)

(Eek! The color of the latter picture is a little odd.)

I can’t believe how cheap it is!! ALLLLL of this for USD$1! And not to mention, how delicious it is. Maybe it’s a psychological thing as well. Because it IS so cheap, it tastes that much more delicious. haha

 

 

Steamed Buns   [小籠包 Xiao Long Bao]    (5NT per XLB, 50NT per steamer)

It was demolished in 20 minutes.

SO DELICIOUS! SO CHEAP!! It’s also a favorite of the locals so expect long lines if you go during mealtimes.

I would definitely go back when I’m in Hualien!
