Food

1. Xiaolongbao or Soup Dumplings

Careful as these are served piping hot in those cute bamboo baskets (they make for a great souvenir too!) so give each dumpling a few moments in the soy sauce and vinegar baths before plonking into your mouth. You will find it hard to stop!

You could try the famous Din Tai Fung (many outlets of this Taiwanese chain - excellent choice nevertheless and hugely popular among expats, locals and tourists) but we would recommend another favorite of ours.
