Last month, I posted a blog post about Taipei food and I also made a promise to share more places to you. This time, I would write a little bit differently. Instead of just reviewing the restaurants, I will also include some other useful information that you might need. And therefore, here are another  7 must-visit places  in Taipei. 1. Cheogajip Korean Chicken With just a few minutes walk from the Exit 5 of Sut Yat Sen Memorial Hall MRT station, you will arrived at the town's best Korean chicken restaurant, Cheogajip.

As I was writing this blog post, it has officially been three months of my student exchange program experience in Taipei. And yes, time does fly really fast. It was as if a month ago that I started exploring this other side of the world with all my limitations; be it in terms of language and knowledge. Nevertheless, here I am know, utterly excited to share more about Taipei city. Having been exploring the city during weekends and day offs, there are many restaurants that I have visited. Some of them are recommended by friends - both Taiwanese and Indonesian - yet some others are the result of pure curiosity as I travel around. From all the restaurants that I have tried, I have chosen several of them that I believe are worth the visit when in Taipei. So, should you have plan in visiting Taipei in the near future, this post is definitely for you. Without further due, here are the first seven restaurants that I would recommend as you visit Taipei: 1. Yongkang Beef Noodles One of ...
