Highlights
  • Dongmen Market - Our Food Tour begins at a hidden traditional market, where you’ll discover Taiwan’s delicious seasonal fruits, earning it the nickname “Kingdom of Fruit”.
  • Dongmen Dumplings - While often seen as an offshoot of Chinese and Japanese cuisine, Taiwanese dumplings boast a unique flavor, traditionally paired with hot and sour soup.
  • 茶敬茶 Tea to Tea(2/16~3/17店內整修) - A symbol of local pride in Taiwanese cuisine. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy an authentic tea here!
  • Tian Jin Onion Pancake - When visiting Yongkang Street, you must try the flaky and chewy Taiwanese scallion pancake. With our guidance, you’ll gain special access to this popular snack without waiting in line!
  • 志明紅麵線 - A staple street food for Taiwanese locals, this vermicelli dish is served with intestines and optional coriander. Be sure to add some black vinegar to truly savor the essence of this authentic street food!
  • 台灣一品 拉麵與刀削麵 - Now a renowned dish among global food enthusiasts, Beef Noodle Soup has humble origins in Taiwan’s post-World War II military family villages. Each year, Taipei hosts a competition where residents vote for the city’s best Beef Noodle Soup!

Good and tour - This is a wonderful and educational tour. It’s about 2.5 hrs of leisurely walking and a bit of eating (but not too much). Our guide Cathy was sweet and a perfect person to view the area with.

Yummy and fun! - Had a lovely time with Betty! She gave lots of interesting history information along with the tasty dishes. I was totally stuffed when I left, and I hadn't eaten at all before. The group was small and kind so we were all able to chat together and ask questions.

Show Me the Way, Kathy. - I enjoyed this tour with Kathy as our guide. It was like having a friend take you around town to show you the way--but with a lot more insight. Kathy informed us on the history of Taiwanese food, which is always a great way to understand the culture. I enjoyed every dish and was happy to know I could skip the intestines in the vermicelli soup. Otherwise, I would have skipped it altogether. I'm happy I didn't. It's an essential part of the culture that I wanted to experience. Thank you, Kathy, for a fantastic tour and for sharing your knowledge with me!
