When people think of Taitung, they usually think of nature, mountains, and the ocean. But Taitung is also a food paradise.
Seafood is always fresh because it’s close to the Pacific Ocean. Try sashimi made from flying fish or tuna—so soft it melts in your mouth! In Donghe, the famous baozi are big steamed buns filled with juicy pork.
Indigenous dishes are special too. You can taste millet rice, roasted wild boar, or vegetables cooked with mountain herbs. Every dish tells a story of the land and its people.
Don’t forget to try roselle tea, a sour but refreshing drink made from a red local flower.
Eating in Taitung is not just about filling your stomach. It’s about experiencing culture, tradition, and the flavors of nature. So when you visit, don’t just take photos—taste Taitung!
