Market Meals

Undergoing tasteful facelifts with updated offerings that cater to a more diverse crowd, many of Taiwan’s traditional day markets have transformed from worn-down, musty spaces into sparkling clean, well-designed hotspots. A major draw is the multitude of food stalls, the prepared items on offer ranging from sushi to beef noodles to sweet cakes, which many locals are willing to wake up early and queue up for.

Thirty-three kilometers off the southeast coast, yet worlds away, this former political-prison island is the perfect escape from mainland Taiwan. The island is circled by a 17km road that packs in dramatic volcanic coastal scenery, beautiful beaches, and even hot springs right at oceanside, and then offshore there’s excellent diving and snorkeling.

Taipei residents don't have to travel to coastal fishing ports to enjoy the fresh bounty of the ocean.

Rice is by far Taiwan's most important food crop. So important in fact, that roughly half of the country's arable land is given over to cultivating it. And for good reason, too, because for many Taiwanese, not a meal goes by in which rice does not feature in some form or other. To prove the point (if indeed it needed proving), Travel in Taiwan recently sampled some of the many rice-based offerings available in Taipei.
