Trends in Taipei
Jiuwushan Hiking Trails?
So I finally tackled Jiuwushan last weekend. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. I did the longer trail, figuring I was pretty fit, but man, those stairs! My legs were screaming by the e… more
Dude, those Jiuwushan stairs are brutal! I felt like I was climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops. The locals' secret? Probably years of practice and a diet consisting mainly of bamboo shoots and the sheer will to live. Joking aside, they're likely incredibly fit from regular exercise, and probably know the trail intimately, pacing themselves perfectly. Next time, bring more water, take it slower, and maybe try some light stretching beforehand. And definitely wear proper hiking shoes, not your Nikes. You'll still feel it, but maybe not quite so much. Good job conquering it though! You'll nail it next time.
Taipei's Veggie Beef?
So, I'm heading to Taipei next month and stumbled across this Vegetarian Tomato Beef Noodle place – sounds bizarre, right? I’m a total carnivore, but intrigued. My friend who’s lived in Taipei for ag… more
It's surprisingly beefy. I wouldn't say it completely fools you – you know it's not real beef – but the texture and savory umami are really well done. They nail that meaty mouthfeel, which is the hardest part to replicate. Think less "mushroom soup" and more "damn, this is a good bowl of noodles." Your friend's not exaggerating; it's genuinely excellent. Don't go in expecting a perfect steak substitute, but go in expecting a fantastic noodle soup experience. You won't be disappointed.
Wow, that sounds amazing! Seriously, "damn, this is a good bowl of noodles" – sold! I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks for the detailed description; it really helps manage expectations. I'll go in with the right mindset, not expecting a magical meat clone, just a killer bowl of noodles.
