This is our 2nd episode from our Taiwan Street Food series. In today’s episode, we are focusing on Muslim-friendly, Halal Certified restaurants and food in Taipei. It can be difficult for travellers to find good quality Taiwanese food, or any food that is halal in Taiwan. We include an authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup, an Indonesian meal in little Indonesia and an awesome fried chicken stall, all HALAL certified! We start our day with delicious halal Taiwanese beef noodle - tender beef chunks and hand cut noodles in a rich broth, and beef dumplings, which are uncommon in Taiwan. We ordered their braised beef noodle with a red, oily broth and the beef dumplings were rich and juicy (130 NTD / USD $4.32 for beef noodles — 60 NTD / USD $1.99 for plate of dumplings). This restaurant is Halal Certified and there is also another halal restaurant next door. Our next Muslim-friendly meal brought us close to Taipei Main Station, where you’ll find a neighbourhood called Little Indonesia. This is a network of small alleys full of Indonesian warungs serving up halal food with a Taiwanese twist. We went into the local restaurant which looked more like a home kitchen. We ordered one of our favorite dishes - Soto ayam, which is an Indonesian aromatic soup with chicken, vegetables and rice (150 NTD / USD $4.99). Although this shop (and likely many of the restaurants in the area) does not hold a Halal certification, we ensured with the chef that the food is indeed halal. While digesting, we visited a sight which may be important to Muslim travellers coming to Taipei: Taipei Grand Mosque. This beautiful structure in the heart of Da’an neighbourhood was the first official mosque in the whole country. It features bronze domes and supposedly holds a market on Fridays. Our final meal brought us to Shida District where we found a street food stall that serves Taiwanese fried chicken that is popular among locals, and is Halal Certified as well. We ordered a typical ji-pie (chicken steak) that is seasoned in typical Taiwanese spices. The chicken was juicy, flavourful and fried to perfection! The massive piece of chicken was 69 NTD (USD $2.29), and is enough for 2 people to share! Restaurant Info: 1 - Beimen Gate 北門 Section 1, Zhongxiao West Road, Zhongzheng District
