What To Expect

1

Taipei

Between the seasoned kitchens of Ximending and morning pulse of Yongkang Street lies the true, unedited flavours of Taiwan, the 'Beautiful Island'. We're here to show you why the spirit of "Formosa" is found in bottom of a noodle bowl. Our lunchtime feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of Taipei led by our team of professional foodie guides. Before we get started, your tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✖️ Vegetarians have 2-3 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Yongkang Street

Begin at vibrant Yongkang Street - recently dubbed one of the coolest streets in Asia - ground zero for deliriously good food. Kick off at a Michelin-rated institution to witness the art of the fold, tackling the holy trinity of dim sum: xiǎo lóng bāo pork soup dumplings that burst with savory broth, juicy xiā shāomài prawn siew mai, and the golden crunch of a fried mantou bun. Witness the mesmerising street-side masters slapping and swirling the dough of Taiwanese flaky scallion pancakes.

    This was a very good food tour. The tour guide (can' remember his name) took us to some really good places to savor some really nice things. It was all done in Chinatown. I wished the weather was nicer but it was extremely hot and humid and we had one stop at a noodle soup stop lol.

  • Delicious food and a great guide!

    Our guide Susan was amazing. We got taken to some great spots and all of the food was delicious. We also got some tips about travelling the city, a visit to a shrine and some cool recommendations for the rest of our time here. I'd highly recommend doing this at the start of your trip and you will feel so much more prepared for your time in Taiwan. I'd also do it at the end to be fair just for the great food!
