The 38 Best Restaurants in Taipei | Eater

"To call this city-wide institution a “shop” would be an overstatement. But while insignificant in size, this street stall amid the bustle of National Taiwan Normal University on Heping East Road draws a gargantuan line of hungry patrons, regardless of time of day or even weather conditions. The reward for their patience? The shop’s luo bo si bing, or radish cake. Seasoned strips of radish are stuffed into a pastry shell and deep-fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior and steaming, crunchy inside. Another star is the cong you bing, or green onion pancake: Green onion gets rolled into a flaky dough, which is then fried in oil and served with the optional runny egg topper. [$]" - Clarissa Wei
