Taiwan Hot Take: Whatever you do, DON'T go to Tainan first!
-
I'm from central Taiwan, and eating in Tainan was sheer torture for me... everything was so sweet! I guess it just goes to show how different culinary preferences can be.
-
What's in the second picture?
-
That's the bone marrow with special sauce from A-Ming Pork Heart. Their stuff is seriously out of this world!
-
Visit Tainan first... and food elsewhere just won't hit the same. Tainan excels in amazing street food and snacks; in other cities, you're more likely looking at restaurant dining.
-
Totally! When I'm in Taipei, I'm constantly craving the street food from Tainan.
-
I've tried pretty much everything in these pictures. The verdict: on the sweet side, on the sweet side, definitely on the sweet side...
-
Well, in that case, maybe Sichuan cuisine is more your style.
-
Seriously, we started our trip in Tainan and spent the latter half in Taipei. Every single day, we were clamoring to go back to Tainan.
-
We had the exact same itinerary! Honestly, Taipei just couldn't compare after Tainan.
-
Shhh, keep it down! Don't let everyone else find out, save some for me to eat when I get back home! (A Tainan local just passing through).
-
Heard that!

Aaaargh, now I'm starving!

I'm heading to Taipei in a bit. Is there really nothing special to eat there? I generally prefer the food in the south too.

It's not that it's bad, it's more like... the flavors are what you'd expect. It doesn't have that 'wow' factor like Tainan's street food.
