Lunch next to Palace Museum, food

When your noodles are the main event, but the side dishes steal the show.

Exploring the culinary delights next to the Palace Museum in Taipei was an unexpected treat. The bowl of noodles, garnished simply with spring onions, was a comforting highlight. But what really caught my attention were the side dishes. The eggplant, delicately stir-fried with just the right amount of chili peppers, added a spicy kick to the meal. The other vegetable dish, though less identifiable, was equally delicious. The casual ambiance of the restaurant made it a perfect spot to relax and reflect on the art and history I had just witnessed at the museum. It's these little moments, savoring simple yet flavorful food, that make travel so enriching.
