台式／雪王
■地址：台北市武昌街一段65號1樓
■電話：02-2331-8415
■營業時間：12:00～22:00

民國36年開始，老老闆便因為喜愛冰品而決定赴日學習，將學到的製冰技術帶進台灣，並創立「雪王」。這裡的冰淇淋口味繁多，在顧客的提議下，也針對許多不能食用糖分的顧客著想，進而研發奇特的鹹味冰淇淋，像是麻油雞、豬腳、肉鬆等特殊口味。這裡的冰品大致可分為水果類、堅果類、蔬菜類、天然香辛植物類、美顏類、酒類及茶品類等，共有73種不同的口味，滋味細緻、口味多樣，十分吸引人。使用經過挑選的台灣優質水果融入冰品，可以吃得到水果細緻的果肉與香氣，此外，水蜜桃、金黃奇異果或櫻桃口味，則挑選進口素材，即使成本較高，也不惜進口製作。由於一般冰淇淋需要加入牛奶與雞蛋才能製作，吃素者恐怕無法享用，這裡更貼心地為素食者研發不加奶與蛋的特殊冰品。

火龍果雪屋 4球80元這裡的冰淇淋都是以屋頂造型的餅殼盛裝，所以稱為「雪屋」。新奇的鮮果炒冰使用新鮮水果和植物性原料製成的冰淇淋粉，製冰過程未經過濾，碰到有籽的水果，還會吃得到籽的碎粒。圖中的冰淇淋為火龍果口味，清淡香甜、口感綿密，非常特別。

義大利式／Frando
■地址：台北市南京西路14號B1
■電話：02-2941-0036
■營業時間：11:00～21:30

義大利冰淇淋在台灣流行的時間並不算短，因為新鮮、低脂、清爽、綿密的特性，讓它成為美系冰品之外，最受歡迎的冰淇淋。義式冰淇淋最大的特色，就是使用當季新鮮的食材製作、不添加防腐劑。因為製作過程中需要不斷地攪拌，空氣的含量較低，吃起來也較綿密，再加上以新鮮牛奶取代鮮奶油，乳脂的含量更少，吃起來較為清爽，熱量也比較低。

成立已有3年的Frando，是林幸奎和幾個同學在奧地利遊學時，最喜歡的甜點﹔回台後，有感於台灣的義式冰品價格過高，於是興起了開店的念頭。經過不斷地研發、學習後，推出平價的義式冰淇淋，並針對台灣人的口味，推出使用本土新鮮水果製成的芒果、荔枝、木瓜等冰淇淋，由於用料實在、價格實惠，很快就打出口碑。每天提供14種以上的口味，除了甜筒式的吃法，還將義式冰淇淋與聖代、水果、可麗餅、鬆餅結合，讓消費者有更多不同的繽紛選擇。

水果聖代 150元酥脆的花形餅皮大手筆地盛裝了2大球水果口味冰淇淋，再加上奇異果、蘋果、香蕉、水蜜桃等滿滿一盅新鮮水果，2個人一起品嘗，備覺幸福甜蜜。

鄰近台中美術館的「米薩村」，在優雅舒適的用餐環境中，匯聚中式、台式、法式等多國複合式料理，以吃到飽的形式，提供顧客選擇多樣的可口餐點。

食物提供匯聚中式、台式、法式等多國複合式料理；選擇多樣且可口，消費型態採吃到飽方式並提供自助吧台及桌邊服務。以自助吧台而言，分為「海鮮吧」、「冷盤吧」、「熟食吧」、「素食吧」及點心水果、飲品吧。

此外素食者能享受素食套餐；需事先預約或告知服務人員。桌邊服務以現煮、剛出爐料理為訴求，採用詢問顧客方式並端上菜餚。如麵衣酥脆的【藍帶豬排】，內夾濃郁起士，肉質較有咬勁、紅燒【上海無錫排骨】肉質軟爛適中、【法式焗烤海鮮】上鋪濃厚起士，下墊自然甜味海鮮，滋味相互融合、香味四溢的【法國白酒炒海瓜子】但略微過鹹、最特別為【愛爾蘭威士忌】威士忌香醇配上咖啡濃厚風味，讓人在嗅覺與味覺上同時獲得滿足；並且供應多種湯品。整體食物部分即為菜色多樣取勝，烹調上較無特別之處，堪稱符合大眾口味。

服務服務生以身穿黑色套裝及白色廚師裝為主要兩大群，前者為接待及引領顧客入座，態度自然親切，並為來此用餐顧客解說點餐方式；後者為桌邊服務的工作人員，少數幾位態度略微生硬，缺乏笑容，口齒略為不清晰。亦有專門收拾盤碟的服務生，能注意顧客用餐速度，適時收拾盤碟且動作快捷，但素質上較為參差不齊。建議動作需再優雅、從容些，可為服務加分。而自助吧台，能適時補齊菜色並十分注意吧台台面清潔。此處不收開瓶費。

氣氛走進歐式宮庭風格的「米薩村」，首先映入眼簾即為綠意盎然小庭院，有著緩緩流動小水池，馨香可愛花兒環繞一旁，不禁讓人感到心情舒暢。推開白色大門，以米色系為室內裝潢基本色調，空間為挑高設計，舒適座椅及沙發，予人寬敞典雅之感。更特別的是，穿越過几淨的落地窗，即能擁有著大片綠草如茵及爭妍鬥豔花卉庭院，餐後還能走在綠蔭蔽天的大樹底下，怡然自得。隨著節奏輕快音樂，釋放平日繁忙壓力，悠閒品嚐可口餐點；十分適合同學、朋友及家族在此聚會用餐。

Taipei is the capital of the Republic of China, a city that blends traditional culture and cosmopolitan life. As the political, economic, educational, and recreational center of the country, Taipei offers an array of significant cultural sights.

Food in Taipei

Whether you are hungry at 3 am or want to take your sweetheart out to dine Taipei's eateries run the gamut, from the back alley to the penthouse.

Local Food

You must be wondering what is Taiwanese food. Surrounded by the ocean, seafood plays an important role in Taiwanese dishes, such as oyster, stir-fried spray, smoked squid, milkfish soup, and stir-fried crabs. Fruits also feature prominently in Taiwanese desserts, such as the famous mango shaved ice.

Nightmarkets

Nightmarkets are the best places to experience Taiwanese life. Taiwanese people go to the nightmarket to satisfy their hunger for different kinds of food.

Food Of Taichun

2007-02-12T21:58:00.000-08:00

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.

Tainan

Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and was the capital during imperial times. It is famous for its temples , historic buildings and snack food. The city is currently the fourth largest city on the island with a population over 760,000.

Like other Taiwanese cities, most people in Tainan, including taxi drivers, cannot speak English well (except for high school and college students), though some of the older gereration can converse in Japanese. However, to help visitors get around, there are free tri-lingual (Chinese, English and Japanese).

Food

Tainan is often known as "the City of Snacks" (小吃城). In addition to the wide variety of food available at night markets, the city also has an abundance of street vendors specializing in tasty and cheap dishes.
Tainan specialities are:
Coffin toast (棺材板 guan cai ban) - fried bread stuffed with various ingredients, such as chicken, beans, seafood, vegetables and milk-based sauces. Oyster omelette (蚵仔煎 o-a chen), Oysters and thin noodles (蚵仔麵線 o-a mi soa~), Rice cake (碗稞 wan-ke), Dan Dan Noodle(擔仔麵 dan zai mian), Elite Cake (狀元糕 Zhong yuan gao), Don't forget to try the shrimp rolls (zhou-shi) down along the canal! Incredible!

Drink
Pearl milk tea (珍珠奶茶, Zhen-Zhu Nai-Cha) is a must drink in Tainan. Look out for shops, where it is made directly to order! Dirty Rogers is an excellent small bar. Used to be very hip, still very good! Every Music imaginable. It's close to the Railway station at Dongmen Rd.

Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung is a major center for manufacturing, refining, and transportation. The city sits on the southwestern coast of Taiwan facing the Taiwan Strait. Unlike Taipei, the streets of Kaohsiung are wide and traffic is less congested than in Taipei. However, the air pollution around Kaohsiung is notoriously bad because of the heavy industry in the area. Kaohsiung is the major port through which most of Taiwan's oil is imported, which accounts for the large amount of heavy industry.

Food

Night markets are a great place to pick up cheap local foods, including stinky tofu, barbecued squid, red bean pancakes and the like. Lunchboxes are common throughout the city, and a choose-your-order buffet take-out typically ranges from 50 to 100 NT$. The food is typically fried, with a mix of vegetables and meats. The ubiquitous 7-Eleven stores have tea eggs, hot dogs, packaged beverages and junk food. Lunchbox style microwavables are also available, including dumplings, spaghetti and curry rice.

There's no way to miss this large restaurant, which guards the entrance to Wuchuan Parkway. Inspired by the owners' trip to Greece, the building resembles a Greek villa, with whitewashed interior and exterior, highlighted with deep blue colors and other ocean-related decor, such as giant shell-shaped chairs and framed photographs of Greece.

The food is a mostly-Chinese mix that includes a little Japanese, Thai and Western. Seafood lovers will enjoy the selection of live fish, crabs and shellfish; each choice can be divided up and prepared in one to three ways, such as sashimi, baked, fried or as a soup. There is also plenty of non-seafood, such as chicken, pork, mutton and beef dishes (NT$200-280).

Other dishes include some spicy, Thai-style curry dishes , Japanese-style baked cheese dishes, and four kinds of NT$300 set meals (beef stew, pork ribs, eel or bream) which come with appetizer, vegetables, fruit and drink, and are available for lunch/dinner on weekdays. Plenty of hot/iced coffees (NT$160/180), juices, beers (NT$80-120) and other drinks are served, too.

Larger parties sit on the first floor, or can opt for one of the VIP rooms on the third floor, ranging from a cute little four-person room to combined 30-40 person rooms. The outdoor roof will be open in warmer weather and can be rented for special functions.
