Traditional Sweet Dishes
Pineapple cake
Pineapple cake is often given as a good-luck gift because the Taiwanese Hokkien word for pineapple sounds like 'prosperity arrives', so the buttery pastries symbolize fortune and new beginnings.
Sun cake
Sun cake gets its sunny name from a glossy, sweet malt filling that used to look like a shining sun, and travelers commonly buy them as a popular souvenir.
Douhua
Douhua, or tofu pudding, can be served sweet with ginger syrup or savory with soy and pickles, making it a versatile street-food comfort that appears at breakfast and night markets alike.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Beef noodle soup
Beef noodle soup is so beloved in Taiwan that shops hold annual competitions, and some cooks simmer the broth for up to 12 hours to build its deep, savory richness.
Oyster omelette
Oyster omelette pairs briny fresh oysters with a chewy sweet-potato-starch batter, and night markets finish it with a tangy, sweet sauce that people line up for.
Stinky tofu
Stinky tofu smells famously pungent from fermentation, but deep-frying crisps the outside and the contrast with pickled cabbage turns it into a cult favorite among adventurous eaters.
Traditional Beverages
Bubble tea
Bubble tea was created in Taiwan in the 1980s when tapioca pearls were dropped into milk tea, and its playful textures and endless customizations helped it spread around the world.
Oolong tea
Taiwanese oolong, especially high-mountain varieties, is prized for its floral aroma and layered flavors, and it is often brewed in a traditional gongfu style to reveal changing notes across multiple infusions.
Taiwan Beer
Taiwan Beer often incorporates locally grown rice in its lager recipe, giving it a lighter body, and its green-bottled pilsners have become an iconic taste of Taiwan.

At night markets, pick stalls with lines of locals. Skip the first souvenir stalls, prices drop a block or two in.
Most museums post free or discounted days, check online before you go and avoid planning a museum day on a holiday.
Weather was muggy in July with sporadic rain, but the temples and tea shops made rainy afternoons cozy.
A bit overhyped for me, tourist stalls push prices and peak nights are packed. Food still mostly worth it.
Loved Taipei's night markets, everything tastes amazing and cheap. Plan 4 days to eat your way through the city.
