Food Of Taichun

Location
As Taiwan's third-largest metropolis and the commercial hub for Central Taiwan's five million residents, Taichung City boasts one of the island's most dynamic, fastest-growing service sectors. The service industry has continued to receive a significant boost from Taichung's ideal business environment, which includes affluent, well-educated residents with one of the highest disposal incomes in Taiwan, low-priced real estate and rental rates, an abundance of unused property, and a good transportation network that brings millions of non-residents to Taichung from the surrounding areas and as far away as Hsinchu and Taipei on a regular basis.

Dinning
Taichung City's dining and nightlife outlets have long been extremely popular destinations for residents from around Central Taiwan, as well as Hsinchu, Taipei and other areas. The last decade has seen the emergence of a cosmopolitan, international variety of establishments operated by local and foreign proprietors, as well as international chains. This broad selection, combined with a reputation for reasonable prices and excellence in dining, nightlife and atmosphere, has earned Taichung a solid reputation as a hotspot, particularly among northern Taiwan residents, who enjoy weekends in Taichung.

Taichung's dining scene today includes restaurants serving French, Italian, Indian, Turkish, Middle Eastern, Thai, American, Japanese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese and other cuisine from around the world. In addition to locally owned restaurants, reputable international dining chains, such as T.G.I. Friday's, Ponderosa, Chili's, and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, have made Taichung their home. Many major international fast-food chains such as McDonald's, KFC and Subway, also operate dozens of outlets across the city.

In particular, Taichung City is renowned for its enormous, stylish teahouses, reputedly the world's original source of the now globally-popular "bubble tea". Large and small, traditional and modern teahouses dot the city, as do an enormous number of cafes--mostly local-owned but also including foreign chains like Starbucks.

Taichung's vibrant nightlife scene also has tremendous variety, thanks to the constant opening of new establishments by local and foreign owners. Businesses range from small neighborhood pubs to swanky lounge bars, jazz clubs and large discos.
