Top Food Drinks in Taichung

Get there around 10 AM to snag the best food before the lunch rush hits. Trust me, it can get super crowded!

Don't miss the local specialty snacks like the pineapple cakes! They are a bit pricey but totally worth it!

Try the stinky tofu! Most people seem put off, but I found it surprisingly tasty. Just don’t judge the smell too soon!

I think it’s smart to share dishes with friends if you can. The portions are big, and you get to taste more of what’s out there!

I suggest hitting the market around 5 PM. It's less crowded, and you can snag the freshest street food without waiting forever.

Don’t skip the bubble tea – it’s everywhere, but each place has its own spin. Find one where the line is long; usually, that means it's good.

My advice is to go around 7:30 PM. It gets packed, but the atmosphere is great and you can grab a seat to enjoy your food during the peak time

If you're not sure what to eat, look for stalls with long lines – they usually have the best food! I found this out the hard way when I tried an empty stall and regretted it.

Try a bit of everything! I thought I’d get full on just one dish, but I regreted not sampling more snacks. Small portions are the way to go!

Check out the local pastries, but skip the more popular ones like pineapple cakes. I found an underrated local bakery that sold these awesome sweet buns that stole the show!

Definitely grab cash before you go! A lot of vendors don’t take cards and some places even have minimum spending limits for card payments.
