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?entry=yt)
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?entry=yt)
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?entry=yt)
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?entry=yt)
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?entry=yt)
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!

    I just got back from 2 weeks in Taiwan and ‘food obsessed’ was the perfect way to describe the country. In the US people greet each other with ‘How are you?’ While in Taiwan everyone greeted me with ‘Have you eaten yet?’
  • I'm a Taiwanese living abroad and I must say all 5 dishes Mark picked are really, really local and loved by the Taiwanese people, well done and I miss Taiwanese food!
  • @hsinwen0831
    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!
  • @kmzzzzz
    The food scene in Taiwan was just incredible! The people were so friendly and polite as well, one of my favourite countries I’ve ever visited.
  • Really I miss Taiwan foods.I work there 20 years ago and I love the country and tradition
  • @El_Narix
    One of my favorite countries. Great food, extremely friendly ppl, beautiful mountains and very modern
  • @hottiebling
    I love Taiwan! The people there is so so so friendly and they don’t even sound angry even when they are dealing with nasty customers
  • I'm Taiwanese living in Sydney. Glad you were there introducing Taiwanese food on you channel. You really brought me back home, missing the food there indeed!!!!!
  • I missed Taiwanese cuisines.. I was working there before for more than 5 years but now I am in Spain and I can’t compare the food in Taiwan. It is just the best!
  • Greetings from Tijuana, Mexico. It seems like yesterday when you filmed the episode in my city . I want to thank you Mark for showing us all these wonderful foods , they all look so delicious. 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.

    這一位youtuber 與眾不同 介紹的巨細靡遺 而且非常有親和力 讓人看了真想去親自去吃一下 難怪訂閱的人這麼多 嚇死人 from 高雄 no body !
  • @WestfulThinking
    I'm third generation american, my family is scottish. I live in the Laurel Highlands of the Appalachian mountain chain in Pennsylvania. There are no tawianese restraunts near or far. However, because of your videos, i will prepare these dishes. Wishing you and all other's continuous prosperity & great health. 🤙
  • @FlavorofMind
    My lord, those beef noodles look like they were sent down from the heavens. Taiwan might be one of the world's very best 'comfort food' spots, and this is proof! Cannot wait to go back 🥲
  • As a Taiwanese, I have to say that if you guys have chance to visit Taiwan, you have to try everything shows on video once in the whole life.
  • I just got back from 3 weeks in Taiwan, this trip I had 3 different kinds of beef noodle. Soooo enjoyed the Middle School, High School Reunion Partys and Dinners, also the Family & Relatives Reunion as well. My husband and I feel so blessed.
  • @jrdavis9578
    This makes me miss Taiwan. I spent some time teaching ESL in Taichung. This video had my mouth watering!
  • @EricYeh-in3xk
    Mark appreciate your video on Taiwan food. Growing up in Taiwan, my dad have been keep eating the 1st beef noodle house ( Liu Shandong) in Taipei when he was a high school student ever since 1968 more than 55 +years non stop he told me. It was a destination for the tourists.
  • @ssstgsnhp
