Online city guide “When In Manila” has published a list of 10 “must eat” dishes when visiting Taiwan, noting that food is one of the key attractions that draws visitors to the nation in addition to its beautiful scenery.
Many people enjoy local cuisine at street markets, one of the most famous being Taipei’s Shilin Night Market, which is a must-visit spot to experience genuine Taiwanese food, article author KC Canlas said.
“Your Taiwan experience is not complete if you haven’t tried this [stinky tofu],” Canlas said.
Some stinky tofu dishes “are more pungent, which means you need to have more courage to try it. Some have a lighter odor, which you can probably start with,” Canlas said.
Other foods that merited mention were dumplings, pork buns, beef noodles, bubble tea, oyster omelets, torched wagyu beef cubes, braised pork rice bowl, tea eggs and candied fruits.
Oyster omelets are a “star among night markets,” Canlas said, adding that the omelets are a popular dish at the Shilin Night Market.

Paparo, the commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, reiterated the concept during a Congressional hearing in Washington on Wednesday. He first coined the term in a security conference last
