We have a radar for restaurants we like – so one of us knew there was Mos Burger near the hotel. Just cross the street. Too bad I only got to go the last day we were there
Yakiniku rice burger! It’s hard to find in Japan but it’s in Taipei 
One of my favorite meals in Taipei was here. Thank you Michael Wu for the recommendation!! Taiwan’s version of Shabu Shabu. Since Taiwan was under the Japanese for 50 years, so a lot of their food is influenced by them
There is a station to make your sauce and get your rice – Get all you can! 🙂 
Hotpot at Wulao. Boneless spareribs, Premium beef, Iberico pork shoulder in Spicy Wulao broth and Layered Tofu broth #WulaoHotPot #Wulao #H2HTaiwan
Even the kids enjoyed 🙂

We didn’t plan lunch that day so since we were in Taipei 101,
we ended up here
Taiwanese style Teppanyaki at Hunghwa Teppanyaki Steakhouse. They say you should try Taiwanese Teppanyaki since it is a bit different from Japanese and though it is similar it has its own version. This place reminds me of one of our favorite places in Tokyo Ukai Tei but not at the same level 🙂

Love their garlic bread! 🙂 
Taiwanese teppanyaki uses steam to cook

They have lamb!!! YAY!
One of our best meals in Taipei was at Shilin Market! Taipei is really known for their street food so its not surprising 🙂 Spontaneous dinner if the best!!
We lined up for this Largest fried chicken. it was the first stall we saw upon arrival at Shihlin night market – yum!!! That is one of the secrets to the taste. NT$70.00 We saw 2 stalls of this both with long lines #ShihLin #LargeFriedChicken #h2htaiwan #H2HChicken
This was where we had our dinner
Beside it there is seating 🙂
Fresh prawns being grilled
Abalone
Castañas next door
There was a fresh fruit vendor next door
so she opened the fruits mom chose. Sugar apple/atis is the best! And the makopa
Down the road was a line so just follow any stall with a line and for sure its good! haha!! We don’t really know much so that is one of our gauge.
Chef Javs spot this- freshly baked cake
He sliced it for all of us and it was so good
FUN!
About 30 to 45 minutes away from the city, there is Beitou Hot Springs! There are several resorts so we are glad we got a recommendation from Ning
Villa 32 . I wish we spent a whole day here
They have a sulfur bath aside from the regular hot spring. So relaxing #beitouhotspring #villa32hotspringresort #H2HTaiwan
After hot spring there is a lounge with some rooms where you can sleep or just relax and have drinks and some snacks
They have a restaurant
Nightime 🙂

The most prominent historical landmark in Taiwan, the CKS Memorial Hall was erected in honor and memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and was opened in 1980 as part of a national park and gathering area.
The name of the square is officially Liberty Square, as seen above the front gate, however the name change was politically motivated and most people in practice still refer to the entire complex as CKS Memorial Hall.
The octagon-shaped white building rises 76 meters and is covered with blue tiles and red accents, echoing the flag of the Republic of China. The eight sides represent the Chinese cultural symbolism of the number eight which is traditionally associated with fortune and wealth. The two sets of 89 steps represent Chiang’s age of death and lead up to main hall housing a large bronze statue of Chiang protected by military personnel which change hourly.
The characters behind Chiang’s statue read “Ethics”, “Democracy”, and “Science”, and the inscriptions on the side read “The purpose of life is to improve the general life of humanity” and “The meaning of life is to create and sustain subsequent lives in the universe”.
Below the hall is a museum documenting Chiang’s life and career, as well as exhibits about Taiwan’s history, pan-Chinese culture and history, and the ROC’s development after moving to Taiwan.
Besides the main hall, the large complex includes the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park (??????), National Concert Hall (?????), and the National Theater (?????). ( GuideToTaipei.com )
This is my favorite part – so I have three photos 🙂
