Jordan and Emily begin in Taipei, where they wait for crispy donuts dusted with milk powder in Ximending and later visit Xing Fu Tang for handmade tapioca pearls topped with a brûléed layer. The next morning they take public transport to a breakfast restaurant they describe as Michelin-starred, ordering soy milk, a signature bread and fried dough. The narrator says the wait can reach 30 minutes and suggests arriving early. Rain disrupts their plan to hike Elephant Hill and their attempt to find a view of Taipei 101; they later explore the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and its grounds. They then take a bus from Taipei to Jiufen, which they describe as a small mountain town with narrow lanes and views. The narrator recounts its gold-rush history and says the town later became a popular visitor destination. After sharing mixed feelings about the trip in poor weather, they return to Taipei and try rose-salt flame-grilled beef at a night market. A sponsor segment about luggage is omitted.
Jordan and Emily spend their final days in Taiwan exploring Taipei and taking a half-day trip to Jiufen. They try crispy milk-powder donuts in Ximending, handmade bubble tea, a breakfast at a restaurant they call Michelin-starred, and flame-grilled steak. Rain disrupts their plan to hike Elephant Hill and see Taipei 101 from above, so they visit the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall instead. In Jiufen, they walk the crowded lanes, discuss the town’s gold-mining past and return to Taipei for a night-market meal.
A rainy Taipei food tour, city sights and a half-day visit to Jiufen, ending with flame-grilled steak.
Taipei Street Food, City Sights and a Jiufen Day Trip
6:33 Jordan says they used transit tokens that cost 20 New Taiwan dollars per person per trip. That was their fare during this visit; check current prices and payment options before traveling.
12:47 The couple say this popular breakfast place can sell out, and they recommend arriving around half past seven. Their wait stretched along the stairs during this visit; check current opening times and queues before going.
14:36 Heavy rain stopped the planned Elephant Hill hike and left Taipei 101 hidden in cloud. If a viewpoint is a priority, check the forecast and visibility before making the trip; the couple found little point going up in those conditions.
22:54 The couple chose a direct bus from Taipei to Jiufen rather than a train-and-bus combination or taxi. They paid 200 New Taiwan dollars each and said the ride took about an hour; verify the route and fare for your travel date.
26:01 The couple say poor weather made Jiufen less worthwhile for a short visit, and they would stay in Taipei if squeezing it in. They also describe an hour each way; consider the forecast and travel time when planning.
