Taipei, Part 1.5

Last evening, I left off after a streetside dinner which had left me wanting more. So, I got more. I went out to Din Tai Fung, which is a world-famous (among snobby food critics, anyway) place specializing in xiaolongbao (Shanghainese-style soup dumplings). It was what it was cracked up to be.

Also, the lantern festival (which actually starts today) was, for some reason, even more fun at night. My pictures probably didn’t come out well though.

Today, I’m going to the National Palace Museum, and perhaps one of CKS’s old official residences near the corresponding MRT station, before probably paying a return visit to the food court in the basement of Taipei 101. Tomorrow, I’ll be trying to get a bit outside of the city, either toward the hot springs at Beitou or the mouth of the river on the Strait at Danshui.
