Now a lot of things are expensive, some cheap snacks either increase in price, or directly disappeared, even takeaway is difficult to find less than 25 yuan to eat full of packages and snacks, go out to eat a meal is less than 50-60, more than hundreds of thousands, no wonder everyone always feels that going out to play is expensive. As a blogger who pursues the cost performance of travel, we never encourage everyone to spend luxury, our money is not blown by the wind, to make every penny worthwhile, even if it is expensive, it must be expensive.
Veteran Yongkang beef noodles
One of the reasons I chose Taiwan as a travel destination was to indulge in the local cuisine, and the love and dedication of the locals to food is very touching. Not only in the pursuit of high-end restaurants and hotels to pursue the ultimate, even street stalls are very serious about business, from south to north to adhere to the opening of decades of stalls and small shops really a lot, and our tourist areas of the "fast fashion" brand is different, they have high requirements for the quality and inheritance of food, so they can be long-term affirmation from surrounding residents and tourists.
Tainan Garden Night Market
Most importantly, Taiwanese snacks are really cheap! Restaurants and stalls that do not exceed NT$100 (less than RMB 25) for a meal abound, including well-known local shops, special snack sets, and even night market stalls recommended by Michelin Bibendun... The following are a few excellent restaurants/stalls that I have eaten along the way on this trip to Taiwan, especially selected different kinds of snacks, you can really feel the affordable food in Taiwan! Even if it is not a famous internet celebrity store, it almost does not step on the thunder!
Tainan Chapter
Ajiang fried eel
Address: No. 89, Section 3, Minzu Road, Central and Western District, Tainan City
It's a local recommendation, and it's almost a big shop every night, and the first time I eat it, it refreshes my perception of eel pasta. 90 Taiwan dollars (about 20RMB) a bowl of pasta, the noodles are full of eels, the owner's skillful cooking techniques are amazing, plus pepper and sauce hook with the combination, sweet and sour, really delicious!
Fraternal beef soup
Address: No. 109, Youai Street, Central and Western District, Tainan City
This beef soup looks a bit new, and can't be found in most raiders, it is a small shop I passed when I went to the Tainan Art Museum, because many elderly people who live alone drink beef soup here, which attracted my attention. Although the boss is very young, making beef soup can not be ambiguous at all, a bowl of 100 Taiwan dollar beef soup, the amount of meat is very large, and with an exclusive sauce, the boss is also very serious about teaching me how to eat (eating is a bit similar to Chaoshan and Quanzhou), the enthusiasm of Tainan people is indeed worthy of the name ~
Nameless (rice cake) snack bar
Address: Tainan Zhongshan Road Eight Lane No. 5
Before coming to Tainan to meet the lovely black bean brother, this time I was fortunate to meet again ~ he took me to this nameless snack bar, the storefront is particularly small, if it is not a local with a root can not find, belongs to the private home cooking. Don't look at the small shop, there are many items that can be ordered on the menu, the most expensive ones are not more than 70 Taiwan dollars (16RMB), and each dish is carefully prepared. The boss is too busy to greet everyone, and the order needs to be written and handed in by himself. Rice cake is a must-order dish, the small bowl is very large, as well as fritter soup and fried fish maw, are more local dishes, worth a try! When I saw that pig ears were only 20 Taiwan dollars (5RMB), I was so touched... If you want to put Xiamen, it is already the price level of more than ten years ago.
Chiayi chapter
Chiayi turkey rice
Address: No. 707, Zhongzheng Road, West District, Chiayi City
There are a lot of turkey rice in front of Chiayi Station, which is a very characteristic local snack, I followed the fate into the Chiayi turkey rice that is known as a 35-year-old restaurant, a bowl of turkey meat rice 30 Taiwan dollars (7RMB) plus two small dishes, less than 100 Taiwan dollars have been eaten very full. In addition to the chicken being particularly tender, the sauce poured on the rice is also very flavorful, and the boss is very efficient in collecting money for the dishes, taking care of the customers who want to catch the car. It is really worthy of the old shop, not the meal guests have been endless!
Taipei
Chen Dong Yao stewed pork ribs (Raohe Night Market)
Address: No. 160, Raohe Street, Songshan District, Taipei City
Chen Dongjia has won two Michelin Bibiden recommended night market stalls, the soup of medicinal stewed ribs is really strong, the taste is sweet and delicious, long time do not eat will miss, and 80 Taiwan dollars (18RMB) a bowl with at least 1-2 large pieces of ribs, is indeed a conscience price. Their home is also a must-eat stall every time I come to Raohe Street Night Market
Minle sailfish rice noodle soup
Address: No. 3, Minle Street, Datong District, Taipei City
This snack bar in Taipei's Old Town opened in 1939 and has a history of more than 70 years, just near Yongle Market, and the storefront is not large, and many locals will come to eat. In the rice noodle soup added sailfish minced, the portion is sufficient, the soup is fragrant, warm the heart and stomach, they also have a small stir-fry can be matched, each dish is about 100 Taiwan dollars, more than those hot fried 100 is also cost-effective!
Big dog noodle line
Address: No. 13, Nanyang Street, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City
In fact, the same kind of snack Azong noodle line is more famous, but has eaten many times, I want to try the taste of other brands. This big dog noodle line is near Taipei Main Station, the storefront only has a few seats, suitable for breakfast or as a snack, 45 Taiwan dollars (10RMB) small portion of large intestine noodle line is already a lot, paste-like noodles are fished out of the large intestine, salty and sweet feeling is also just right! The taste is no worse than Azon's! Because there are fewer people in line, the weight seems to be more ~ ~ ~
Qiao Pin Fuzhou dry mix noodles
Address: No. 47, Lane 160, Section 1, Dunhua South Road, Da'an District, Taipei City
It is also a restaurant with a price of not more than 100 Taiwan dollars in all categories, and the choice of dishes is quite large, so I ordered dry noodles and gongmaru soup, which added up to only 75 Taiwan dollars (17RMB). Although the noodles are written as Fuzhou snacks, but in fact, it is already a fusion dish, dry mix noodles are a bit like Shanghai's shallot oil mixed noodles, looking light is actually very flavorful, gong pill soup is not lost in the standard, the meat flavor is very strong, but also floating several pieces of green vegetables, balanced nutrition ~
Having eaten so many small shops, there are indeed some experiences, and share with you:
1- I believe that the old store, the restaurant that can last for decades must have its superiority, either the taste is difficult to copy, or the delicious price is affordable and convenient, basically will not step on the pit.
2- Try to order the signature or the boss recommended dishes, the general noodle shop rice will not be too delicious, not every store's brine meat rice gong pill soup is a unique skill, choose the best dish is also a good recipe to avoid the pit ~
3- A shop with a long queue may not be delicious, but a shop with no customers at all must not be delicious.
Queue up the popular food Tianjin shallot oil cake
Most of the Taiwan vendors in the award or recommended by well-known programs will not increase the price, if because the cost is too high had to raise the price, even if only a few Taiwan dollars, will also write a "letter to customers", especially intimate, and in addition to the price of the people, the production must also be guaranteed, not good food sooner or later will be abandoned by guests, only with the heart of new and old customers can open the restaurant for a long time, this is also worth our learning part.
