Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢
Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3
In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.
Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake
TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.
You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk
I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.
During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.
• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.
· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.
· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.
Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.
• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).
Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

More best restaurants in The Hague
Cafe Franklin
Walter Benedict's younger brother (more on that later!), just outside the city center. At this hotspot, you'll rub shoulders with locals and they're also open for lunch on weekends. In the summer, this is one of the best spots for drinks, and you can relax at the beer tables on the terrace with a craft beer and a flammkuchen snack.

Pastis
At this cozy French bistro, you'll enjoy typical French dishes. Simple, yet oh-so-flavorful. Just like in France, they also have a menu with an entree, platter, and dessert for a reasonable price. You'd almost forget you're in the heart of The Hague!

The neighborhood
Another lovely French spot, but just outside the city center. Perhaps all the more appealing for that, as you won't encounter many tourists. In good weather, the bench in front of the shop is a favorite spot for a Burgundian lunch.

The Sushi Girls
This is by far the best hotspot in the Zeeheldenkwartier for all your sushi cravings. Besides classics with a twist, they also offer vegan and gluten-free sushi. Tip: in good weather, they also have a patio.

Ohana poké & More
Good news for everyone who, like me, loves a well-filled poké bowl. Ohana in The Hague makes the absolute best. Need a photo for your Instagram? Perfect for the swing with the flamingo!

Oats
Outside the city center, head to Haver for a good breakfast or a delicious organic lunch. A warm interior with wicker chairs, Bocca coffee, and homemade cake. The perfect place to start the day.

Bleyenberg
Oh yes! The Hague now also has a great rooftop bar for nice weather. Bleyenberg is a great all-day spot in the old Kwantum building, with a restaurant, coffee bar, and cocktail bar all under one roof. They have regular events, so be sure to check the calendar on the website.

Bouzy Denneweg
Are you a wine lover? After shopping on Denneweg, grab a drink at Bouzy wine bar, which offers a wide selection of wines by the glass.

Little V
Love Vietnamese food? Then you can't miss Little V (V for Vietnam) in The Hague. From delicious pho to various street food appetizers to share. If you're new to Vietnamese cuisine, prepare to be surprised by a two- to four-course menu.

Minglemush food halls The Hague
In my opinion, food halls are the perfect solution if you want to eat cheaply and everyone wants something different. Or if you just want to share as much as possible. At Minglemush food hall, you can choose from over 15 stalls! Tip: play a game in the retro arcade after your meal.

Beech
A few years ago, I ate at Noma in Copenhagen, and I've been a fan of "new Nordic cuisine" ever since. Bøg doesn't have a Michelin star, but it certainly serves delicious food. Innovative, artisanal, and simultaneously refined. Not for a quick bite, but for an evening of extensive dining with six or eight courses.

Pistachio cafe
One of the best places to enjoy breakfast, coffee, or lunch in The Hague is Pistache. Located on the corner of Prinsenstraat, near the Palace Gardens, the terrace is perfect for people-watching when the weather is nice. But you can also relax inside in the cozy green interior.

Jamie Bennett
A modern grand café where everyone is welcome all day long. From breakfast to drinks, or just a cup of coffee while shopping.
