5 P.M. DIN TAI FUNG
No culinary tour in Taipei would be complete without a stop at the restaurant Din Tai Fung for a taste of its Shanghai-style pork-soup dumplings (xiao long bao), served with sliced ginger and soy sauce.
Guidebooks swear by them; food snobs say they're overrated. Decide for yourself. One serving costs $5.30 and includes 10 dumplings.
To get there, continue north on Yongkang Street from the stinky-tofu joint, then hang a right on Xinyi Road. Just a few doors down is the original location of this now-famous chain restaurant (No. 194 Xinyi Rd., Section 2). Be warned, though: Hordes of tourist groups mob this place at peak mealtimes, so be prepared for a wait. Of course, you may need time to digest the other snacks you've just had.
下午5点:鼎泰丰
如果不去鼎泰丰,那么台北美食之旅就不算完整。在那里,你可以吃到上海风味的小笼包,搭配有姜片和酱油。
旅行指南上一定会提到这里的包子,那些所谓的美食专家认为这家店名过其实了。你自己决定吧。一份小笼包有10个,价格是5.3美元。
从臭豆腐连锁店出来,继续沿着永康街往北走,然后向右拐到信义路,再往前走几步就会看到“鼎泰丰”这家知名连锁店的旧店(信义路二段194号)。但是,要记住,每到用餐高峰时间,成群的旅游团会蜂拥的这里,所以你一定要做好等待的准备。当然啦,你也可能需要时间来消化刚刚吃下去的其他小吃。
