In truth, you hardly need a guide to eat well in Taipei. (But we made one anyway)
Hermit’s HutTo try high mountain oolong tea — a prized, locally grown variety essential to the culture and drinking habits of Taiwan — head straight to Hermit’s Hut. This modern tea house is serene, filled with light wooden furniture and bright greenery. Place your order and wait for your server to steep the fragrant leaves at your table using a variety of traditional Chinese tea sets, all while giving a brief primer on tea-making.
With more than 70 years of history, this is one of Taipei’s oldest ice cream shops. But its dozens of flavors stray far from tradition; this is ice cream in bold, innovative form. The flavors at Snow King Ice Cream are unusual — and that’s an understatement. To wit: salty shredded pork, pig’s knuckle, bitter melon, Taiwan Beer, red-hot chile pepper, and, my favorite scoop, spicy green wasabi.
Chen San Ding has a constant snaking queue — and for good reason. The shop’s signature drink is translated literally as “frogs crashing into milk” , because the shiny, springy tapioca pearls look uncannily similar to frogs’ eggs. These soft, chewy orbs are steeped in a brown sugar syrup for hours and then submerged in milk. If you can brave the long lines, it makes for the perfect sugar high.12 a.m.
