Epilogue

Taiwan, a paradise for foodies
A Tour of Authentic Local Restaurants by Taiwanese Travel Guide "Songchai"

Travelers visiting Taiwan will find their mouths watering throughout their trip thanks to the diverse cuisine and affordable dining options.
While dining at a well-appointed restaurant or canteen is certainly enjoyable, if you want to experience the true flavor of Taiwan, head to a night market or street vendor.
This is a collection of authentic foods that reflect the daily lives of Taiwanese people who prefer hearty snacks over elaborate meals.
Snacks eaten while walking down the street or sitting on a stool at a street vendor can sometimes be a quick meal, sometimes a cold beer snack, sometimes a drink to quench a thirst, or sometimes a late-night snack to satisfy hunger.

There is a social media post that is frequently shared among those planning a trip to Taiwan.
Song Chai Toon is loved for its cute drawings, lively dialogue, and vivid expressions of taste.
This is a cartoon drawn by the author of foods he found while traveling around Taiwan.
This activity started as a way to repay the precious bond with Taiwan formed through working holidays, but now it is helping countless travelers visiting Taiwan and is playing a significant role as a travel information cartoon about Taiwan.
Let's take a look at Song Chai's Taiwan exploration, which included exploring delicious restaurants and food in various regions, including Taipei, Tainan, Keelung, and Jiaoxi.

From popular dishes loved by both tourists and locals,
Even hidden foods that are not even on blogs and known only to those in the know
I hope everyone has a delicious 'Taiwan trip'!

The author personally discovered 80 local foods and 107 delicious restaurants in “The Taiwanese Snacks You Ordered Are Here.”
From famous dishes already well-known to tourists to hidden local eateries that you won't find information about anywhere online, we've compiled a list that will be helpful in many ways for those planning a trip to Taiwan.

This book includes food names and store addresses written in local pronunciation so that you can use them while traveling, and includes Google Maps addresses as QR codes, a guide to overseas travel.
The difficulty of the local food challenge is indicated by star ratings to provide criteria for selection, and the fun of learning about the meaning of the snack's name, the background of its creation, the story behind the snack, and how to eat the snack is added by telling the story.
In addition, the content of the text is organized in a more cheerful manner using cute Songchai Toon to help readers understand.
When the menu is diverse, we provide a separate 'recommended menu' and for menus that are difficult to order, we also provide a detailed 'how to order' section.

There is no right answer when it comes to travel.
Because where you go, what you eat, and what you see are your personal freedom.
However, even if it is not the right answer, everyone would agree that a trip with 'new challenges and experiences' is more attractive.
Ordering food in a broken language and eating food with unfamiliar tastes and aromas are also new challenges and experiences.
I hope that by reading this book, you will be able to have a delicious trip to Taiwan, tasting not only familiar flavors like dachang bao xiao chang (Taiwanese sausage), dan bing, and dou jiang (Taiwanese soy milk), but also slightly less familiar snacks like taro fritters, lo song buns, and papaya milk.
