Although many Taiwanese sweets are good from the first bits, others like red bean and mung bean require an acquired taste for me. Many foreigners never are able to acquire a taste for red beans and other sweet beans, but thanks to a family that forced-fed it to me every day, I was able to overcome the strange texture and acquire a taste for it. I am a picky eater success story I enjoy almost all Taiwanese food that does not still have its head attached or resembles raw sewage in some way. If you are a new foreigner in Taiwan who is not used to the food, you can try out the things on this list first. I am sure there is something you will love.&nbsp;The more foods you learn to enjoy in Taiwan, the more you will be able to enjoy life. <br><br>Also, I would like to note that lots of Taiwanese food is inspired by other countries like Japan and China, but no one really cares. This is food that is eaten in Taiwan. It is just like no one cares that pizza originally came from Italy.&nbsp;\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taipei Food Related Tours:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can eat your way through Taipei through such tours and activities as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/r?marker=417346&amp;trs=215740&amp;p=4456&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttractionProductReview-g13806451-d19772955-Taiwanese_Breakfast_Cooking_Class_in_Taipei-Datong_Taipei.html&amp;campaign_id=149&amp;journey_id=y4t7TMj0y9_01Ft-7fUBo&amp;trace_id=Zz0d080cb02ba5416790f6229-417346&amp;promo_kind=tp_long&amp;page_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foreignersintaiwan.com%2Fblog%2Ftaiwan-food-guide\">Taiwanese Breakfast Cooking Class in Taipei<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/r?marker=417346&amp;trs=215740&amp;p=4456&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttractionProductReview-g13806451-d15055090-Taiwanese_Gourmet_Cooking_Class_in_Taipei-Datong_Taipei.html&amp;campaign_id=149&amp;journey_id=mvsTCvldU1e7ArDLL1BX9&amp;trace_id=Zz0d080cb02ba5416790f6229-417346&amp;promo_kind=tp_long&amp;page_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foreignersintaiwan.com%2Fblog%2Ftaiwan-food-guide\">Taiwanese Gourmet Cooking Class in Taipei<\/a>\u200b, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/r?marker=417346&amp;trs=215740&amp;p=4456&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttractionProductReview-g13811269-d19764881-Xiao_Long_Bao_Chicken_vermicelli_with_mushroom_and_sesame_oil_Tofu_strips_salad_.html&amp;campaign_id=149&amp;journey_id=bRIbE3hZxg3BGF9cdoUBJ&amp;trace_id=Zz0d080cb02ba5416790f6229-417346&amp;promo_kind=tp_long&amp;page_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foreignersintaiwan.com%2Fblog%2Ftaiwan-food-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xiao Long Bao, Chicken vermicelli with mushroom and sesame oil, Tofu strips salad, Bubble milk tea.
