Perhaps one of the best ways to reflect on another’s culture is to immerse yourself in theirs! Jump into it not knowing what to expect. And that’s exactly what I did while I was there.
If you find yourself wanting to know more about Taiwan, venture out into the city! In Taipei, there’s lots of street food for you to choose from, and let me say, the restaurants are delicious as well. Even if you want something as “simple” as ramen, it can be found almost everywhere with a hint of Taiwanese love in every bite.
Not enough? How about trying one of Taiwan’s most famous dishes? Perhaps stinky tofu? Or maybe even sashimi fresh from the tank.
Here in Taiwan, food challenges your preconceptions of what “fine cooking” really is. And that is the best way to experience Taiwan. Just jump straight into it! Their food won’t leave you disappointed.
