Taiwan is a foodie's dream come true... it seemed like everywhere we went there was something delicious waiting to be eaten!
The best places for eating were the night markets. Cheap, fast, and tasty, with anything you can possibly imagine being served up on a stick.
 |
| Candied strawberries on a stick! |
 |
| Seasoned potato on a stick! |
 |
| Meat, mushrooms, or squid on a stick, anyone? |
Taiwan also likes to fry stuff...
 |
| Huge fried squid |
 |
| Deep fried Oreo, Snickers, or Twix... |
Of course, sticks and fried food go hand in hand...
 |
| Fried dough drizzled in chocolate sauce then placed on a stick... don't mind if I do! |
 |
| The ultimate... hotdogs, battered, dipped in potato cubes, then fried and placed on a stick (of course)! |
One of the best things about food in Taiwan is that it is cheap and prepared right before your eyes.
 |
| "Taiwan pizza" aka egg and spring onion pancake |
 |
| Steak grilled right up as you wait in line... $3 for a box! |
When you're not able to stomach something from a greasy grill or deep fried, you can just duck into a noodle or dumpling shop and find some warm, hearty, Asian comfort food.
 |
| Steamed dumplings are everywhere |
 |
| Beef noodle soup, a specialty in Taiwan |
 |
| Noodles with dumplings, seasoned to perfection! |
Of course food must not be eaten alone - don't forget the delicious drinks!
 |
| Want a roadside mojito? $3! You can even drink it in public on the street. |
 |
| Bubble Tea - the #1 drink in Taiwan - in any flavour imaginable |
 |
| The orange juice tastes so fresh - no need for any extra sugar or preservatives here! |
For the health-conscious, you will be thankful to know that everything in Taiwan is not fried and served up on a stick. There is an abundance of fresh fruit ready to be sampled by you! You will be amazed at the variety available.
 |
| I'll take one of everything (minus the smelly durian!)... |
During our one week in Taiwan, it felt like we never stopped eating! If you visit Taiwan, I would recommend to snack throughout the day rather than have big, filling meals... you'll be able to try more of the food that this place has to offer! Don't be afraid to try all the street food, but make sure to walk it off later, though...
I am just NOT sure about the food on a stick concept as well as all of the fried goodies.....
