It springs to life in the evening hours with carnival games and a great selection of shops selling clothing, shoes, jewelry, tourist gifts, tools, pets and much more. Every corner offers new surprises! Although the scents may borderline on pungent at times, the food here is tasty, with popular fare including tofu, Chinese sausage, and Portuguese egg tarts. |

| Summary: | Din Tai Feng is one of few restaurants in Taipei that has earned not only local, but global recognition for its delicious food, as it was rated by Time Magazine as one of the top 10 restaurants in the world. Do not mistake this place as purely a take-out restaurant, just because the kitchen is located at the downstairs entrance, which is always crowded with people waiting for their tables. Be sure to try the xiao long bao and tsai rou jeng jiao, which are similar kinds of steamed dumplings. |
