Dining in Taiwan
Taiwan can be termed a melting pot of all the great culinary
traditions, both Chinese and foreign. In any town, city, or
village on the island, it is said, there is a snack shop within
three steps and a large restaurant within five, making dining
in Taiwan a matter of the utmost convenience.
All of China's regional culinary styles
are available, from those of Beijing, Tianjing, and Shandong
of the north to those of Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,
Guangdong, and Taiwan in the south.
You can also find restaurants in Taiwan that
serve the cuisine of other countries throughout the world,
including the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and India, among others. The famous
international fast-food and restaurant chain--McDonald's,
KFC, Mosburger, Pizza Hut, and others--also have outlets scattered
all over the main cities.
Taiwan also offers its own unique types
of restaurant, such as vegetarian, "improved" hot
pot (including medicinal hot pot), and local snacks, that
offer a native Taiwanese taste. If you would like to have
a drink before or after your meal, there are plenty of bars,
pubs, and beer houses to choose from.
