Must Eat Taipei Food: Oyster Omelette<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A hot favourite among Taiwanese street food. Oyster omelette known locally as \u86b5\u4ed4\u714e, pronounced \u201coh-ah-tzen<\/em>\u201d. Oysters and crispy bok-choi green veges wrapped in a thick tasty omelette. It\u2019s topped with a red sauce that makes all the difference, as each stall has its own secret recipe for this red sauce.<\/p>\n

Must-Try in Taipei: Bubble Tea<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Asia, we love love love our bubble tea. If you\u2019re a fan yourself, you\u2019ll love Taipei. Bubble tea is absolutely everywhere! The classics like milk tea are of course something you must try and compare yourself from brand to brand. But here are a few of our favourite bubble tea stores and their signature drinks.<\/p>\n

\"Taiwan<\/a>\u00a0CC 2.0 \/\u00a0Toby Oxborrow<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Boba tea<\/em>\u00a0(aka bubble tea or pearl tea), are variations of tea with chewy tapioca balls at the bottom of the cup. As you sip your cold desert tea, the little pearls travels up a fat straw along with your flavoured tea, creating an interesting chewy texture.<\/p>\n

These days bubble tea, despite the name, is not limited to just tea. You can have fruit flavours, milkshakes, coffee, yakult-mixes and more.<\/p>\n

Best Bubble Tea in Taiwan:<\/h4>\n

It really comes down to personal preference. Some have better frothy finishing to their drinks, whereas others do the fruity flavoured teas much better.\u00a0Keep your eye out for these 3 top Bubble Tea brands in Taiwan and sip your way through to your own favourite.<\/p>\n

Chun Shui Tang<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(\u6625\u6c34\u5802)<\/em><\/p>\n

The birthplace of bubble tea.\u00a0Good for Pearl Milk Tea. If you prefer a caf\u00e9-like environment to sit down and enjoy your tea over a chat, Chun Shui Tang is your place.<\/p>\n
