Welcome back to our Taiwanese Street Food tour series. This is episode 3. In today’s video, we are focusing on delicious MOUNTAIN cuisine in Maokong, just outside of Taipei City.
We start our day at Bitan Scenic area (Xindian Station) to eat a traditional Taiwanese meal for breakfast. We ordered rice noodle soup 米粉湯, braised tofu 滷豆腐, crispy ribs 脆骨 (which were not crispy at all), and boiled radish 蘿蔔. The food was simple and fresh, and very affordable at 140 NTD (USD $4.66).
It was then time to hike one of our favorite trails in Taipei known as Yinhe Trail. Our taxi from Xindian Station to the trailhead was 175 NTD (USD $5.83). There is a cave/temple/waterfall you can visit and continue along the trail to reach Maokong, which used to grow the most tea for Taipei. There are still lots of tea farms dotted along the mountains. In Maokong, there are many tea houses and restaurants serving food and snacks infused with tea. We ordered a set meal that included tea fried rice, tea smoked chicken, mountain style shrimp, egg tofu with tea leaves and a chicken and mushroom soup. The entire set came to 1000 NTD (USD $33.29). For dessert, we had an oolong tea popsicle.
From Maokong, we made our way back to Taipei via Maokong Gondola using the Crystal Cabin. The Crystal Cabin has a glass floor to allow 360° views of the tea fields, rolling mountains and Taipei 101 in the distance. The gondola is easy to use using EasyCard costing 100 NTD (USD $3.33).

My son and his friends took us to that restaurant when we were there 10 years ago. That chicken soup was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. You even sat at the same table we did. We took a regular gondola. I don't think I could have done the glass bottom lol - I have issues w/ heights.

Thanks! That’s my childhood home town. I grew up near there with 20-25 minute walk! Before I moved over seas! Now I don’t have to hound you to go there now!👍
7:51 Stunning lush views!
I love Taiwan and especially Taipei and surroundings. I especially love the night markets, the food, the hot springs at Beitou, the temples, the people, the nature and the music the garbage trucks are playing ;-). I also like Maokong, but didnt know about that cave temple with a waterfall. Looks really beautiful and I think for that alone I will have to go back to Taiwan when the pandemic allows me to do so. Thanks a lot Sabrina and Luke for sharing so much of your second home with us.
Your awesome food video really makes me hungry for Taiwan/Chinese Food.
That hike looked awesome guys! It looks really pretty there, the food looks great too but the scenery is gorgeous.

Great great episode! Last time my family and I were in Taipei we visited the zoo and took the gondola to Maokong but it started raining so the views weren't so good. But next time I definitely want to take this hike. So incredibly BEAUTIFUL!
My Grandparents live right next to Bitan. I was there earlier last year, can't wait to go back soon.
Well done on the hike up, but what a trip down....... fantastic photography from you both. I just can't get my head around how you consistently make such great content. Amazing!!!!!

That green is Wild Ferns with Roasted Peanuts, i luv this, asian mountain version salad.
The short rice noodles that you were eating at 3:02 min, we have those noodles in Malaysia too, but it is served with much richer soup. The sight of the waterfall beside the temple is spectacular and the those dishes cooked with tea looks so yummy and unique. 👍👍👍
This is cool! I didn't know there was a temple waterfall at the top of the Maokong Gondola. Back in 2014 The zoo was marketing the Gondola as a package, but had little info about the top other than a scenic view.
