A simple way to plan your meals
Taipei food is easiest when you don’t over-plan. Pick 1–2 “anchor” meals, then let snacks and small finds fill the rest.
- Morning: coffee + a light breakfast, then one neighborhood walk.
- Afternoon: one comfort bowl (or dumplings), then a museum/temple break.
- Night: a focused night-market crawl instead of trying to “do every stall”.
