What is Taiwanese food? This question cannot be answered in one sentence. As an island country that has been immersed in various cultures, Taiwan’s food culture is a mixed one. Rooted in Fujianese cuisine, which is oftentimes based on good broth, Taiwanese food also incorporates Dutch, Japanese, Chinese cuisine and more. Taiwanese food is distinguished by using an abundance of local ingredients and has gradually devolved its fame in home cooking, stir-fry, banquet feast, lunchbox food, and local eatery food. When eating Taiwanese food, what you end up digesting is, in fact, the history and sentiments of the island.

A good Taiwanese meal consists of rice as the main carb, some staple dishes, and a soup (also, if you’d like, Taiwanese beer), eaten around a table in good company, which is the soul of Taiwanese food. I recommend Shin Yeh, a Taiwanese food restaurant of such popularity that there are several locations from Shungcheng Street to Taipei 101; go try the Taiwanese home cooking for which they are famed. Fong Sheng Restaurant offers both home cooking and luxurious gourmet food. Lu Sang, known for their Yilan cuisine, is a fine example of delicious and economical dining. Another favorite is A-Hua, located on Civic Boulevard, where you can enjoy delicious seafood stir fry. TANG serves creative Taiwanese food that incorporates Western cooking.    [FULL  STORY]
