Our mission is to recreate the most popular and traditional small eats in Taiwan with you, to share the culture through culinary tours, and make Taipei like your home. Our Studio located in a small residential alley by the main street and a small park, where you can still peek a little of Taipei 101. In this relaxing kitchen you will not only learn how to make your own Taiwanese food with our family recipes, but also be shared with Taiwanese tea culture and drinking culture of Taiwanese people in their daily life.

The host was very friendly and patient in conducting the cooking class, and we had lots of fun with the hands-on making of xiao long bao. She was also very helpful in introducing us to the different kinds of tea unique to Taiwan with an elaborate tea ceremony appreciation, and we enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended for couples and also travelling individuals who are interested to try their hand at learning about Taiwan’s culinary and tea culture. It was a fruitful and enjoyable 4 hours spent!

dedicated to Paosheng Tati, the God of Medicine

We visited this temple after visiting the Confucious temple nearby. The temple looks old with intricate carvings and ornaments on the roof. Many people prayed here and it was fairly smoky due to the many burning joss sticks.

The Museum of Contemporary Arts (MOCA), Taipei fills a gap in Taipei's artistic offering. It's more contemporary than modern. The Museum has a number of intallations, varying from time to time. The building dates from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). Following Retrocession, it housed the Tapei City Goverment. It later housed MOCA. There are free audio guides and group tours. MOCA is closed on Monday. Best access is by MRT, Zhongshan Station, Red or Green Lines

We walked 500 m directly west from Yuanshan Station, arriving at 9:30 AM. Inside the entry gate near the 1956 Minglun Instruction Hall, we were initially distracted by 3 noisy Taiwan blue magpies, but admiring the ceiling architecture of the honorary side halls, were amazed with the peaceful atmosphere. To our surprise, 3 robed women exited the Main Hall and marched around the complete courtyard complex to the cadence of clapped boards. Very worthwhile, now on to the large temple next door.
7. Dihua Street

For adventurous eaters, this is the premiere spot to buy dried delicacies like longyan fruits, scallops, mushrooms and abalone. Before Chinese New Year is when this street is at its busiest, when Taiwanese flock to the market to stock up for Lunar New Year's feasts.

This is a great area to purchase either purchase dry goods in bulk or just check out what is available for purchase. There are all types of dry fruit, preserved plum, dried shrimp, mushrooms, herbal goods, etc. There is also a great store to purchase commercial bakery items (baking tins, pastry bags, muffin/cupcake liners, and much more).
8. Ningxia Nightmarket

Reviewed By Goochmaster - Sydney, Australia
Ningxia night market has really become a lot more popular and there is the famous oyster egg goup omelette. Two very famous stalls line next to each other, (these are shop fronts). The main market has everything you want, Mung Bean Smoothie, Fried Squid, Taro Ball (pork floss and salted egg), Fried Taro Ball with Salted Egg Lava, Popiah peanut brittle, Kwa Pau. The games section is also enjoyable and the pinball machine allows you to collect tokens to swap for toys. It’s a lot more transparent than Shilin night market where fights can break out due to the lack of transparency. At 1 NT per go, it really keeps the kids happy.
9. Taipei City Mall

This mall is a favourite of mine for very affordable shopping. Starting from Taipei Main Station, the mall stretches for about a mile under ground. You can walk down one side with stores on either side, then back the other side of same. The mall has clothing, footwear, watches, jewelery, Chinese arts & crafts in one section, computer games, manga and anime, electronics for the other half. Play Station and Nintendo are huge here. There is even a coffee shop with waitresses dressed as anime characters. I was amazed by the number of vending machines which dispense toys of all kinds. The restaurants at the end are mostly Indonesian for food. Duroyal Ice Cream at that end also, is a must for $1 ice cream cones and they have 40 awesome flavours. Price has not gone up for years. It is at the other end of the underground mall so if you want to go there first, go to Beiman metro stop instead of Taipei Main, to save walking a mile to get there for ice cream.
10. Xiahai Chenghuang Temple

Reviewed By RobertB215 - Hong Kong, China
This charming little temple is much the same as it was in the 19th Century (built in 1859). Though it is home to the City God, 600 other spiritual figurines also are found here, giving it the highest statue density in Taipei. Another resident is the Old Man Under the Moon, who is the Chinese Cupid, so single folk looking for love also come here to pray. This temple is the spiritual center of the community and has a lot of things happening around Chinese New Year. It is also located on Dahua Street (reviewed separately), which is full of wonderful shops, old and new.
