- Sur-★ Michelin Sur- moved to Central district in 2023 and now occupies the third floor of a quaint building. The minimalist room dotted with wooden furniture and vintage couches sports dark colours. The owner-chef elevates everyday Taiwanese ingredients to haute cuisine using traditional techniques like tempering, charbroiling and smoking in the tasting menu that changes every season. The wine and zero-proof pairings are highly recommended.19.2km
- Taichung MeatballBib This genuine institution has been around since 1933 and holds a special place in every Taichungese’s heart because of its no-frills tasty food and bargain prices. There are only three items on the menu. The meatball is a big translucent dumpling stuffed with peppery ground pork, topped with thick soy and a sweet white sauce made with sticky rice and cassava flour. Pair with either fish ball soup or glass noodle soup for a satisfying meal. Irregular opening hours, so call beforehand to check.18.8km
- Moon PavilionBib In a restored century-old eye clinic, Moon Pavilion juxtaposes colourful velvet-covered banquettes with original wrought iron and red bricks for an interesting clash of industrial and Victorian styles. The food pays tribute to the old-time Taiwanese palate, showing delicate balance and shrewd judgment. Condiments from different Taiwanese counties make appearances in the recipes, including Hakkanese kumquat sauce and Taichungese Nalta jute.19.2km
- No Name NoodlesBib This neighbourhood noodle shop, which has been going strong for 70 years, is now run by the third generation. Over the decades, regulars have been coming for the preservative-free Shanghainese noodles. Besides crowd pleasers like pork chop or beef shin noodle soup, the pickled cabbage variety is also a best seller, especially when topped with homemade pickled scallion and chilli sauce. Don’t miss side dishes like pickled cucumber.19.3km
- Fu Kuei TingBib Many Taichungians have fond childhood memories of this shop as it has been around for some 60 years. The goose noodle soup combines the Chinese herb Dang Gui, springy goose flesh and robust flavours. If the goose runs out, try the equally enticing duck version. Smoked goose uses adult birds weighing about 6 kg, smoked with cane sugar instead of wood chips. Those craving juicier and fattier meat may ask for the hindquarters when ordering.19.3km
- Shanghai Food (Nantun)Bib A Chinese herbalist by training, the owner hails from Shanghai and was spoilt by his grandpa who made him all sorts of treats. After he moved to Taiwan, he spent three years trying to recreate the most authentic pan-fried buns from memory and opened this shop in 2009. The pork buns boast soupy filling with the perfect ratio of fatty and lean meat. The veggie buns are light and flavourful, filled with bok choy, dried tofu and mushrooms.19.4km
- Chin Chih Yuan (Central)Bib Founded in 1978, this shop made its name with rice steamed in a soft rush-woven pouch that imparts unique aromas. Though no longer cooked that way, quality local rice is now topped with a dab of house-made pickled potherb mustard for savoury sweetness. Their deep-fried boneless chicken thigh with a golden, crispy crust and juicy meat goes down a treat with the rice. It tends to be busy at mealtimes, so come in the afternoon for shorter queues.19.6km
- A Kun MianBib A firm favourite among many Taichungians, this noodle shop is now run by the third generation of the family. For 60+ years, the signature dish has remained unchanged – blanched egg noodles tossed in braised ground pork sauce and fried scallion. Marinated egg is optional, but a dab of the house-made sweet chilli sauce is mandatory. Equally popular are the fried tofu puff soup and the so-called ‘all at once’ soup, well-seasoned with spicy pickled mustard stems.19.7km
- Lou's (Nantun)Bib Sesame oil lover alert: this no-frills shop is famous for cooking with the earthy, nutty oil. Simmered for a whole day, the sesame oil chicken leg soup exudes intoxicating aromas of wine and herbs. Another must-try are their egg noodles tossed in Taiwanese dried shrimp sauce. Sun-dried shrimps from Keelung are ground and slow-cooked in scallion oil for 10 hours producing rounded flavours rich in nostalgic charm, alongside savoury umami.19.8km
- Fu Din Wang (Central)Bib Diners flock to this semi-self-service shop for pork trotter, hock and leg – braised in a soy-based marinade for up to four hours, the meat is gelatinous, tender and flavourful. It tastes even better with the house-made chilli sauce, cleaner and less complex than with the typical marinade and its strong herbal undertones. The braised diced pork rice and braised fried tofu are also good options. The simple decor makes for a relaxed vibe.19.9km
