Where to eat beef noodle soup in Taipei. Where to drink bubble tea in Taipei. Food in Taipei. Tea in Taipei. 

After 20 hours of traveling from NYC via Hong Kong, we finally made it to Taiwan! We checked into our AirBnb and headed straight to the city for our first taste of Taipei. 

First, we walked down a narrow alley to seek out Lao Pai Niu Rou Mien. We were easily able to find it thanks to the aroma of star anise that filled the air. This spot specializes in beef noodle soup and was packed full of customers. We were amazed with the fragrant, spicy flavor-packed beef and tendon noodle soup here! Even in near 100 degree temperatures, there is something that feels right about eating hot soups in Asia.

After our soup, we were ready for a cold beverage. We stumbled upon Sharetea, a bright and inviting bubble tea spot. Some of the teas looked new to us, including lemon sijichun. We also ordered an orange chamomile, which was freshly brewed in front of us using loose leaf tea. Amazing!

ABOUT FOOD AND FOOTPRINTS:

We are Greg and Jumi, hailing from opposite ends of the globe. Greg is a native New Yorker who was born and raised in Queens NYC and Jumi grew up in the beautiful islands of the Visayas region of the Philippines. 

How did we meet? One of us messaged the other on Instagram (before sliding in DM's was even possible through the app!) and we met just after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in October 2012. Although we grew up in two very different worlds, we bonded over a love of experiences over material things, delicious food and exploration. 

We have visited 15+ countries together since December 2014 exploring beaches, ancient temples, bustling streets and ruins. Along the way, we get adrenaline flowing whether paragliding, ziplining, or jetskiing.

To fuel up for our adventures (and everyday life), we eat lots of local food wherever we are. Street food, carts, trucks, hidden gems and family-run sit-downs are our mainstays. We don't cook, but prefer to spend our money on experiences and we treat food as one. Hey, we gotta eat regardless, right? May as well enjoy it and support good businesses while we're at it! 

All of this is done while we work full-time at our day jobs. How do we do it? Follow along our journeys and you will learn more. Welcome to our lifestyle!
