    Xiao long bao may be a Shanghai delicacy, but some argue the Taiwanese perfected them. Taiwanese restaurant Din Tai Fung does its Shanghai comrades proud with its succulent pork-soup dumplings.

Gasps can be heard intermittently at Din Tai Fung as diners brace for the scalding hot soup that squirts out upon biting the dumpling.

    Taiwan’s most famous dish, this consists of a meat broth, greens, slices of beef, and of course noodles. The beef used varies from store to store with some people preferring fatty beef over lean and vice versa. To say beef noodles are popular is a serious understatement. In fact, so strong is the local passion for beef noodles, that people will pay a lot of money for the right bowl.

    While tea served in the traditional way is popular here in Taiwan, bubble tea is even more so. It’s so popular that it is now served across the globe and more commonly known as bubble tea or boba tea. Created here in Taiwan, this tapioca ball-filled drink is fast becoming the island’s official drink and with good reason. As far as afternoon snacks go, it takes some beating.

  • Stinky tofu

    This is the dish that everyone has heard of, and very few have tried. And the reason for that is that many tourists simply can’t get past the smell. It really is as stinky as you’d expect fermented tofu to be, but if you can ignore the aroma, it’s actually pretty tasty.
