    Taiwan is unique in that there are restaurants, cafes and street food vendors literally on every corner in urban areas, many of which stay open 24hrs! In addition, because of its international contact, Taiwan has almost every type of food available from every country in the world.

      The choices are literally endless, from NT$1 on up. Food courts in malls (basements of many) and entertainment centers, as well as night markets, offer alternatives to traditional restaurants.

     Pubs/Bars often often serve food until midnight and most mini-marts are open 24 hours.

     During holidays and festivals, special foods and pastries are also sold. MSG is still used in cooking (looks like white salt- adds flavor) and contains sodium, so if you worry about high blood pressure or are allergic, tell the vendor 'bu yao weijing'. Since Taiwan is an island, seafood is also very popular and readily available.
