• Yongkang Street - Start at the lively Yongkang Street, recently named one of the coolest streets in Asia, and a hub for exceptional food. Begin at a Michelin-rated spot to experience the art of dim sum, including xiǎo lóng bāo pork soup dumplings bursting with savory broth, juicy xiā shāomài prawn siew mai, and the golden crunch of a fried mantou bun. Watch the captivating street-side masters as they skillfully prepare Taiwanese flaky scallion pancakes.
• Taipei - At a historic Tainan outpost, pay tribute to the island’s ancient food capital with glutinous meatballs, a translucent, chewy delight. Then, hop on the subway—tickets included—to travel from the city’s refined east to the more adventurous west.
• Ximending - Arriving in the vibrant Ximending district, enjoy a bag of Taiwanese popcorn chicken—basil-scented, addictive, and perfectly fried. Passing the 300-year-old Taipei Tianhou temple, savor niú ròu miàn beef noodle soup at a Michelin-rated venue where the noodles are hand-pulled in the back kitchen. The broth is a decades-old secret, closely guarded by the family owners. With over 15 tastings and many surprises, come hungry.
• Ximen Red House - Ximending - Cool off with tofu pudding and grass jelly—a silky, wobbly dessert that epitomizes the Taiwanese sweet menu. Conclude the journey at the Red House, a century-old octagonal market that has withstood fires and wars to become the heart of Taipei’s creative scene.

Experience the dual essence of Taipei during the day—a sensory blend of steaming broths, ancestral recipes, and lunchtime bustle. This is the true Taipei 101: a tower of flavor from the city’s most legendary kitchens.
