The trip there is either a harrowing flight or equally-harrowing boat ride . Services on the island are quite limited, particularly during the off-season, so it would be a good idea to bring some snacks and water, and arrange overnight accommodations in advance. A rented scooter is useful for getting around the island.
In season , you can find it deep fried, barbecued, or even served in danbing (#72). Strips of turkey meat marinated in a broth with ginger and green 台東蛋捲 onions, then served on a small bowl of rice, and sometimes with a piece of takuan . Like braised pork rice , it is simple yet widely loved.

Armed with impeccable Google reviews, Fancy Pancakes lived up to the hype with a delicious and creative take on the scallion pancake. Made fresh to order for 35 NTD, it comes with an egg as default. If you don’t want an egg, you have to specify (不用加蛋,bu yong jia dan).
This nameless tail wind pushed me through the west coast, waited there for a week and then climbed over Central Mountain Range to catch me here to continue its service for me.

After we sweatily dragged our bags to an indigenous lodging house, we hit the streets at twilight looking for dinner. A busy little local joint served us one crispy fried flying fish each. Their winglike fins and pretty tails were so crisp they shattered in the mouth and the flesh was firm, fresh, nutty, and delicious. The Chinese word for rice is "fan" which also means "meal." Rice may be served with any meal, and is eaten several times a day. Scallions, bean sprouts, cabbage, and gingerroot are other traditional foods.
Major vegetables cultivated include broccoli, cabbage, carrot, chayote, Chinese cabbage, edamame, eggplant, kai-lan, onion, scallion and spinach. Vegetable plantation areas are mostly located in central and southern Taiwan. The peak harvest time is during the autumn and winter seasons. Independent winemaking was illegal in Taiwan for a long time due to the monopoly granted to the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation.
Nice traditional station in the heart of Taiwan. There is an old train machine next to the station for visitors to enjoy. In the nearby areas there are several shops selling banana egg roll, which seems to be typical from here. Do check out some of the banana street food sold near this location. The next day I took a cooking class at a local restaurant called Hua Tuc (if you go to Saigon, 10/10 recommend this class). We started at a market where we purchased seafood, herbs, and veggies, and our guide, Chef Ly introduced the basic elements of Vietnamese cuisine.

Her close friend, interesting Li-sheu-wen, gave us a ride touring around from town to town before reaching Jingfong County. More than fifty years ago, the Yi-yuan Ming-shu owner, Chen-huang, came over Taiwan with the retreat army from Hunan, China. He married a minority woman and built his family in Taitung.

Not actually a hostel but a hotel, it is a affordable, clean and conveniently located downtown. Very friendly hostel, very clean dorms with A/C and hot showers. Be aware that the hostel is not "always" open (e.g., it may be closed at 4pm when you want to check in!). A very hip cafe with a modern artsy vibe that is conveniently located right on the bikeway and only a block away from the Taitung Theater. It serves a large range of coffees, teas, mixed drinks, and a fine assortment of Belgium beers.

The urban core is located slightly inland of a sandy shoreline and mostly to the west of the Beinan River 卑南溪. As with the rest of eastern Taiwan the city is subject to frequent, almost daily earthquakes, as well as the threat of super typhoons in summer and autumn.

Add more rice to cover until the funnel is filled. Use your hand to gently pat on the rice (preferably wearing plastic gloves so that the rice won’t stick to your hands) to ensure that the dumpling is firmly packed.

I ordered half pancake with egg and they handed it to me in a bag, chopped up into pre-cut slices with a toothpick to serve myself rather than a rolled-up method. It was easier and cleaner to eat on the go but I still missed the inevitable sauce mess at the end that comes with the rolled version. All in all, if you’re in the area and you need a more filling quick meal, this would absolutely hit the spot. Good prices and quality make a great spot for fried rice in the city.
In the 1970s, the role of agriculture shifted from the primary focus of the economy to a supporting role. The government at that time issued policies for farmers to grow organic crops. In the 1980s, much farmland was left idle due to the emigration of people from rural to urban areas as well as Taiwan beginning to open up to staple food imports. On 1 January 2002, Taiwan joined the World Trade Organization under the name Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. This accession caused further damage to the agricultural sector in Taiwan. In response, the government has promoted agricultural tourism.
