On the B2 level of Sogo department store you will find a branch of the famous Din Tai Fung restaurant. A must have dish is the steamed dumpling (XiaoLongBao) and my favourite hot and sour soup. Always a wait to be seated but at least you will be indoors and inside a department store. http://www.dintaifung.com.tw/tw/default.htm

One of my favourite night markets for street food in Taipei. I always have the oyster omelette 蚵仔煎, 圓環邊蚵仔煎 (classic flavours) and 賴雞蛋蚵仔煎 (with a more crispy batter) are good. Then the rest of the food stalls are for you to explore! Ningxia Rd, Datong District, Taipei City, Taiwan 103

Tea room 苦茶之家 on the lower ground floor of 萬年商業大樓 has been around for about 40 years. Love their classic and traditional Taiwanese drinks, especially the bubble and jelly drink 愛玉粉圓. If you are brave enough, try their 'bitter tea' 苦茶 (a concoction of chinese herbs that's meant to balance your ying & yang and aid digestion). 台北市萬華區西寧南路70號B1. No. 70, Xining S Rd, Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan B1樓(萬年大樓內)
