A city of many shrines, monasteries and places of worship, Taipei has a rich cultural history behind it and a bright future ahead. Blessed with a friendly local population and sub tropical climatic conditions, this treasure trove of a city is a haven for adventurous globe trotters who fancy a taste of Asia.
Known for being a city that has one of the highest densities of restaurants in the modern world, Taipei is a wonderland for those of us who actually appreciate the finer things in life. Cuisines from all over the world can be found here, with absolutely no discriminative boundaries. While a gourmet restaurant would show you the more tender side of the city by serving a myriad of delectable meals one after the next, the ever popular night markets of Taipei will take you on a rollercoaster ride where mouthwatering treats enlighten your taste buds to sensations never felt before. Rest assured that choosing either of these options will not disappoint the food critic in you.
Most food items served in these little market stalls and open air eating joints are safe to eat so travellers need not be too weary about what they sink their teeth into. Local visitors to these markets often carry around a little foldable stool because most shops do not have the luxury of offering dining spaces. Some of the most popular night market delicacies are oyster omelets, tianbula, stinky tofu, mango ice, pan fried pork buns, Taiwanese sausages on a stick, pearl milk tea and braised soy bean with tea eggs.
On top of these sumptuous delights you can also sample a host of other dishes from Japanese, Korean, Chinese and even Indian cuisines which invariably come with that unmistakable Thai touch which in turn adds extra zest to the experience.
Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei is another place where you can have the luxury of sampling some local cuisine. Boasting magnificent views of the city, this outstanding
hotel in Taipei also promises many conveniences to the traveller. This elegantly appointed
Taipei hotel offers a range of amenities and comforts which will make your stay a memorable one.
