[TN] A Food Guide of Tainan’s Yongle Market (台南永樂市場)

If Taiwan, in general, is a food paradise, then Tainan would be the capital where you can find the most authentic traditional Taiwanese food! Tainan, situated in the southern part of Taiwan and about 260km from Taipei, is often overlooked by tourists, but its laidback charm and gentle pace are what made the city appealing. Besides being known as Taiwan's cultural capital, Tainan is also known as the "city of snacks". The best part is that the vendors are all concentrated on one street, which is perfect to do a food crawl!

[TW] Dawn Room 明堂 – Dinner

Dawn Room is a new café that opened near my place last year, and I've finally get a chance to try it out this summer. Dawn Room is originated from Tainan, and the Kaohsiung branch is its first store. It  was strictly members only, but now it is opened to publics.
