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.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢

@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.

Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

DOWNTOWN: One of the nicest coffee and all-day brunch hotspots in the city for me remains Down
Town. Paris meets New York, from breakfast bowls to croissants and irresistible cakes. There's also a lovely terrace in good weather.
KANNENMARKT 16, NIJMEGEN, DOWNTOWNMGN.NL

The Master's Test: Located in the trendy Honig Complex, DeMeesterproef is a cool restaurant with an industrial atmosphere where you'll definitely want to dine. With a view of the open kitchen, it's open from lunch to drinks and dinner!
WAALBANDIJK 14, NIJMEGEN, DEMEESTERPROEFNIJMEGEN.NL

TATI: Healthy hotspot Tati is a bit further out of the city center, but it's definitely worth a visit. It's the go-to spot for an all-day breakfast and a healthy early dinner in the evening.
KOOLEMANS BEYNENSTRAAT 80, NIJMEGEN, TATI-NIJMEGEN.NL

 

@DowntownNijmegen

Bairro Alto: A cozy lunch spot where you can grab a generous sandwich or salad near the Grote Markt. Or order coffee and homemade cake!
KANNENMARKT 6, NIJMEGEN, BAIRROALTO.NL

FIKA: With a nod to the Swedish Fika, which means a coffee moment,
hotspot Fika in Nijmegen various delicious Swedish breakfast and lunch dishes
such as smörrebröd and cinnamon rolls.
VAN BROEKHUYSENSTRAAT 5, NIJMEGEN, FIKA-NIJMEGEN.NL

CALI: A hotspot with a Californian twist, where you can grab a burger or a generous platter to share. Vegetarians too!
PRIEMSTRAAT 13, NIJMEGEN, CALINIJMEGEN.NL 

The GrutAt this restaurant, you'll find different dishes every day, and everything is homemade. Super fresh! The restaurant's decor is unpretentious, yet it has a delightfully traditional Belgian feel. They serve fantastic wines, many by the glass, to complement the menu. You'll also find plenty of vegetarian options on the menu.
BERG EN DALSEWEG 236, NIJMEGEN, DEGRUT.NL

BistroBarBerlin: Ron Blaauws Bistrobar in Nijmegen. Smaller dishes to share, prepared according to the recipe of the Netherlands' most famous chef. Be sure to try the ribs – they're delicious!
DAALSEWEG 15-17, NIJMEGEN, BISTROBARBERLIN.NL

The Porter: Fancy a fancy dinner? Then head to De Portier! This is the finest high-end cuisine, with tables set in white linen. The restaurant is chic, but certainly not cold! You'll be thoroughly pampered here, and let's face it, isn't that wonderful sometimes?
KELFKENSBOS 57, NIJMEGEN,PORTIER-NIJMEGEN.NL

Lebowski: This is the place to be for a good glass of wine. Lebowski is Nijmegen's wine bar, and in the summer, you can enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace. The owners are always searching for new wines and even have delicious ones from Romania!
BLOEMERSTRAAT 84, NIJMEGEN,BAR-LEBOWSKI.NL

Flowers: Very cozy and always delicious food. The courtyard has recently been covered and beautifully decorated. Even in winter, it feels like a vacation!
KELFKENSBOS 43, NIJMEGEN, BISTROFLORES.NL

Have fun in Nijmegen!
