Taipei: Disappearing Flavors of Taiwan Food Tour with 12+ Tasters

About

Explore the disappearing flavors of old Taiwan on a small-group food tour through the historic neighborhoods of Dadaocheng and Dihua Street. Discover generations-old recipes, family-run businesses, and traditional food craftsmanship that still survive in hidden corners of the city. Learn how Taiwan’s food culture evolved through indigenous, Fujian, Hakka, Dutch, and Japanese influences, why certain traditional dishes are disappearing, how old markets and food communities are changing in modern Taipei, and the cultural meaning behind ingredients, cooking methods, and local eating habits. Depending on seasonality and vendor availability, tastings may include traditional Taiwanese confection, handmade rice cakes, heritage rice dishes, old-school herbal drinks, slow-cooked comfort foods, and other specialties that have shaped local food culture for decades.
