MAOKONG

Taipei

Maokong is one of the most versatile destinations in Taipei, making it an excellent recommendation for everyone. It offers various ways to reach the top and numerous activities suitable for all backgrounds. Apart from the activities, such as tea tasting, and grabbing ice cream, here I introduce one of my favourite things to do there; hiking.

RICE BALL KING

Taipei

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Taiwan! True to its name, this place is renowned for its Taiwanese-style onigiri. While similar to Japanese onigiri, Taiwanese onigiri uses sticky rice wrapped in a crispy fried dough stick, offering a delightful twist. With a variety of delicious fillings available, you can choose from sweet, spicy, or traditional fillings, making each rice ball a unique and flavorful breakfast!
