Taiwanese cuisine 台灣菜

This is a collection of Taiwanese dishes

Taiwan, food on every corner

Taiwanese food, where to start? One word: Abundance! I've been around Asia, I've seen Singapore, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kowloon and many more places with famous food, but what I've seen in Taipei and the small surrounding towns in just few weeks was beyond my wildest expectations and can't be compared to any other places I've traveled before. There's a hawker literally on every corner or every free spot, if it's not occupied by scooters. And I'm not even talking about day and night markets here, but just regular streets. Taiwan is food paradise and that's felt everywhere you go. I decided to make a list of all the typical and less typical Taiwanese dishes I have tried so far. They will be listed by the sort or main ingredient and in alphabetic order. My intention is to show you what kind of cuisine to expect, if you come to Taiwan. I will also add a brief introduction and the price, but keep in mind, that prices change through time and vary based on the region. This post will only focus on main dishes and non-sweet snacks, drinks and desserts are listed here.
