Taipei MRT: Dongmen Station Exit 5.
Located in the city's Daan district, this neighborhood offers visitors delicious dining choices. What's more, it's an interesting area for exploring various aspects of Taipei's culture.
At the street's northern end is the original branch of the Din Tai Fung restaurant chain. Since this brand began in 1958, it has become a Taiwanese institution, known for its juicy, pork-filled steamed dumplings. It has even been named one of the world's top ten restaurants.
A few steps from Din Tai Fung you'll find Yong Kang Beef Noodle, which has been serving customers since 1963. Apart from being famous for its delicious beef noodle soup, it also cooks up a steamed spareribs-with-rice-flour dish that has attracted attention from around the world.
After tasting such savory dishes, you may want to treat yourself to some sweet, icy goodness. If that's the case, then go to Smoothie House. This store serves heaping plates of fruit-covered shaved ice that is perfect for capping off your dining experience. Otherwise, there are several cafes and bakeries in the alleys, where you can buy cute little cakes and pastries.
