Taipei

Night markets that reward the curious eater.

A note from the editor

When I lived in Hong Kong, I traveled to Taipei often, spoiled by a local friend showing me around every time. I’ve since added to those notes by talking to local insiders, since many mom & pop shops still run on word of mouth with menus in Chinese. This guide shows how Taiwanese cuisine differs from the rest.
