    TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Welcome to Taiwan! Today we’re going on an ultimate Taiwanese street food tour to eat 5 of the best dishes that you don’t want to miss eating when you’re in Taipei. From beef noodles to scallion pancakes, these are five of the most iconic and delicious foods to try, and where to try them. Let’s eat!
    1. Beef Noodles (牛肉麵)
    Location: Liu Shandong Beef Noodles 劉山東牛肉麵 (goo.gl/maps/LcecTVDPrpZ6dcZ99)
    Price: 160 TWD ($5.28) per bowl
    Beef noodles are perhaps the single most famous of all Taiwanese foods, there are few things better than a giant bowl of thick noodles with a soothing beef bone broth, and Taiwan does it well. Liu Shandong Beef Noodles is one of the legends of Taiwanese beef noodles, old school, and droolworthy. It was an honor to have a kitchen tour with Taiwan’s King of beef noodles!
    2. Lu Rou Fan (滷肉飯)
    Location: Jin Da Lu Rou Fan 今大魯肉飯 (goo.gl/maps/3FvJook9MsF2mWbU6)
    Total price - 170 TWD ($5.62)
    Perhaps the single most iconic and loved dish in Taiwan for Taiwanese people is Lu Rou Fan (滷肉飯), a sauce made from braised pork belly to eat over rice. It has its origins in Taiwan when people needed to take a little meat and stretch the flavor, creating a flavorful gravy. It’s comfort food and something that is dear to the hearts of Taiwanese people.
    3. Scallion Pancake (蔥抓餅)
    Location: Hsiung Chi Scallion Pancake 雄記蔥抓餅 (goo.gl/maps/cZKPcMAcZY4WKRkA8)
    Price - 110 TWD ($3.63) for both
    Next up on this Taiwan street food tour we’re eating scallion pancakes, one of the most popular street food snacks. They pancakes are almost roti style and you can get them with eggs, or full on with egg, cheese, ham, sauces, and extra toppings. It’s fresh, tasty, gooey, and crispy all at the same time.
    4. Stinky Tofu (臭豆腐)
    Location: Dai’s House of Unique Stink 戴記獨臭之家臭豆腐專賣店 (goo.gl/maps/DnzcQL5VECrDbfvo8)
    Total price - 175 TWD ($5.78)
    Ah yes, stinky tofu, something your taste buds will never forget! It’s more than a meal, but an experience and something truly to be respected. This place makes all their own stinky tofu and we had the rare opportunity to taste a 2 year old fermented tofu - one of the stronger flavors I’ve ever experienced, WOW!
    5. Dumplings (餃子)
    Location: Dragon Inn Dumpling House 龍門客棧餃子館 (林森店) (goo.gl/maps/beZFz3MUVqNazHRE6)
    Total price - 550 TWD ($18.17)
    Few things make me think about Taiwan and Taiwanese food more than dumplings and braised meats and parts. Dragon Inn serves legendary boiled dumplings and their cabinet of braised items is something truly impressive. What a meal, so good.
    So there you have all five of the must eat dishes when you’re in Taiwan and where to eat them!
    Thanks to my friend / taipeieats for helping me arrange this food tour.

    Im a Singaporean living in Taipei for 4 years now and i still cant get enough of the food here! The places you've visited are really very local, and that particular Scallion Pancakes store you went is really legit and it is also my go-to in Taipei when i am craving for one. Do head down south and pay Tainan a visit as they are very well known for their beef soup ! For locals, i believe Tainan is one of the place they'd love to go for food and i hope to see an episode of 5 Must Eat Foods in Tainan!

      Also Singaporean here, married to a Taiwanese.
      Tainan local food leans towards a sweeter aftertaste due to its sugar production heritage during Japanese colonialism . Not really a fan of that taste, but it is definitely interesting
      The beef soup there is legendary because it comes straight from the abattoir without any form of freezing/cold storage. ( 溫體牛 / body temp beef)
      Super tender, purity of beef flavour

In 1987 I went on a study tour to Tunghai University in Taichung and I remember all the food discoveries I made. Shaved iced with topping , meatball soups with noodles at the night market, sweet bread, Taiwan beer, steamed fish...all with the unique seasonings...I knew It would be my only chance to savor all those dishes....Im glad for this episode, it brought good memories! Thanks again.

    Oh my goodness I used to go to the scallion pancake place all the time as a university student!! Back then they were not as well known, but I was always drawn back because of how insanely tasty it was. Really unreal to see it being featured on this channel, thank you Mark for sharing Taiwanese food!

    The best dumplings I have ever had was in Taiwan. Have been to mainland China and lived in Japan, but no 1 dumplings is in Taiwan. Stinky tofu is good too, sometimes comparable with French cheeses. It made in Okinawa too. Great clip as usual, Mark.

    Tainan is really known for its local food and street food. The city has its reputation. Every single Taiwanese would say go to Tainan if one is looking for some good authentic food. Hopefully, you have some time to explore Tainan. Addtionally, Tainan is the first capital of Taiwan, there is a historical aroma all over the city.

    When I went to Taiwan, I was surprised. They are as liberated as the West, grounded as the Japanese, and hospitable as the Filipinos. After visiting SoKor, HK, and China, I was kinda expecting them to be as equally rude, but I was wrong.
    And the food? The best! Night markets and hole-in-the-wall eateries are the best!
