Food Culture in Taiwan

The diversity of Taiwan does not only show on its ethnic groups and culture but also presents on Taiwanese cuisine. Taiwanese food is famous around the world. Apart from its unique and diverse culture and friendly local citizens, one of the main reasons which attract foreigners to come to Taiwan is its FOOD! As a reporter, Huifu Wong, says, ‘food is serious, respected, and excellent in Taiwan.’ 

Many foreigners are surprised at night markets and convenience stores in Taiwan. Night market culture is a special feature which you hardly find in other countries. You do not need to be afraid of feeling hungry in the late evening or even after the midnight as night markets and convenience stores are always there.
