Lunch

With only 1 to 1.5 hours for lunch during work or school days, convenience is key. Many opt for self-service buffets, Subway, or McDonald’s. However, on weekends with more time to spare, brunch at a cozy coffee shop with friends is a popular choice. There are many yummy coffee shops to choose from, and we’ve got you covered with our blog. Check it out and discover some of the best spots to enjoy a leisurely lunch or brunch in Taiwan.

Dinner

When it comes to dinner, Taiwanese cuisine offers a plethora of choices beyond the classic beef noodle soup and hot pot. Taiwanese people love exploring the night markets and street food stalls, combining different dishes to create their own unique and unforgettable dinner experience. For example, we might start with some delicious beef skewers from one vendor, then grab a refreshing cup of papaya milk from another, and finish off with a bowl of shaved ice from yet another.

In recent years, with the growing popularity of exercise and health awareness, many people prefer to hit the gym or jog before dinner. Some opt for simple yet nutritious options like chicken breasts, soy milk, and tea eggs to refuel their bodies. Whether you crave indulgent street food or healthier options, Taiwanese dinner culture has something to offer for everyone. Come and discover the delicious flavors and culinary creativity of Taiwan!
