Katrina: Must stop in Taipei. Freshest sashimi! Oysters were amazingly creamy. Skip the uni. The hotpot area is also awesome and can order sashimi etc for same price. Seafood set is cheap for the portion! Yum!

Steve Mar: A must for sashimi over rice. Ordered the 海鮮綜合dong that was really fresh and tasty. Order a 散飯 and you get to eat it like nigiri. Grill your own 海苔 too
Johnny Wang: Massive park with places to shop, eat, sight see, or exercise (there's even a bike path!). The crowd here is a little older, with young-ish couples bringing their kids and/or pets.
Jenny Soo Hoo: Red bean sensation (shaved snow) Better than the mango!! Free samples of the diff sorbets if you ask for it! Free Popsicles as you wait in line!
BigC: some good food at the food court. there's also a starbucks hidden up the escalator in the middle of the food court. also PageOne is a good bookstore if you want to browse for books
Dumpling Restaurant · Dà'ān Qū · 51 tips and reviews
L: This place serves pretty good fried rice ! The plate I ate had good 'wok hei' and tasted much better than neighboring Din Tai Fung. Order their crab meat & pork xiao long bao and drunken chicken too.
Felipe Chan Wong: Nice place to bike around, touristy and still has stores. Better if sunny, definitely worth a visit. Take MRT (Red line) to Tamshui station.
Elaine Ngo: if you have spare time definitely go. it's a short 20 minutes hike up the mountain, but it's worth it. you'll get the whole Taipei view and Taipei 101, but I suggest you go at night for the night view
Taipei Arts Festivals: Concerts regularly on wknds, weeknd creative market great find of local artists' works, Taiwanese buffet restaurant is superb w/all-u-can drink BEER! (Kat)
Y: Great selection of local and international beers. The cheese portions are tiny so be prepared to spend around 300-400 NTD for a small platter. Nice interior with the right amount of hipsterism.
Renee T: Excellent walking street with street food and boutiques. Be sure to explore the side lanes too. Parks & people-watching, easily accessible (directly on the subway exit). Din Tai Fung OG location!
