Not only do Taiwanese people enjoy traveling to Japan, but Japanese people also love coming to Taiwan. The well-known Japanese travel agency H.I.S conducted a poll on social media titled “Top 10 Must-Eat Foods in Taiwan,” and surprisingly, the famous xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) shop “Din Tai Fung,” which has always been considered the most beloved among foreign tourists, did not come in first place. Instead, Ay-Chung Mian Xian (braised pork thick noodles) from Ximending won the top spot!

A Japanese travel agency, H.I.S, recently held a “Top 10 Must-Eat Foods in Taiwan” poll on social media. Over 20 Taiwanese restaurants were recommended by Japanese tourists who had visited Taiwan more than 10 times, and then a top 10 vote was held. The first place went to “Ay-Chung Mian Xian” in Taipei’s Ximending for its “strong bonito flavor and rich broth,” delivering unforgettable deliciousness. “Din Tai Fung” came in second, third place went to “Ice Zan Mango Ice” near Shuanglian MRT Station, known for its fresh and juicy mangoes. “Hu Zhang Zhang Lu Rou Fan” (pork rice) was ranked fourth for being a beloved Taiwanese street food. Other entries included “Xiao Long Bao from Jin Pin Teahouse,” “Ice Monster Mango Ice,” “Jiadeli Pineapple Cake,” “Spring Water Hall Pearl Milk Tea,” “Lai A Po Taro Ball,” and “Ming Yue Xiao Long Bao.”
