We start the day with a traditional Taiwanese breakfast of savoury soy milk, youtiou (deep fried dough fritters) and fluffy dumplings. This local spot churns out bowls of delicious savoury soy milk flavoured with chilli oil, sesame oil, tiny dried shrimp and pickles. Accompanied by an oily dough fritter and freshly made dumplings stuffed with chives and pork and cabbage it is the perfect first spot on our street food tour.

We then head to a local street side xiao long bao joint. This place offers up baskets of freshly steamed soup dumplings which we dip in vinegar and top with shredded ginger. The family who operate this eatery make the xiao long bao fresh, rolling the dumpling wrappers and stuffing them with a juicy, flavoursome pork filling. The wrappers are slightly thick but the flavour of the filling more than makes up for this!

Next up we stop for braised duck at a local institution Duck Zhen. The duck is served cold alongside shredded raw ginger. We eat the duck with bowls of rice topped with more slices of braised duck and drizzled with saucy braised pork belly together with some blanched cabbage.

It’s then time for a snack- a gua bao from a popular local joint. The gua bao is a steamed bun which sandwiches a thick slice of braised pork belly and topped with coriander and crushed peanuts. This one is simple and as far from the tricked up versions you often see- DELICIOUS.

Onwards to our final stop a bowl of shaved ice which helps beat the Taiwan heat! Taro, glutinous rice balls, tapioca balls, grass jelly and pineapple is loaded into a bowl and topped with hand ground shaved ice and sugar syrup. It’s textural, refreshing and tasty!
