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.

20 of the best terraces in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid
bar Bonnie
Bar Bonnie is one of those places where you spontaneously linger. Located in the heart of Oud-Zuid, this might just be the coziest spot for drinks with friends. The smart terrace is sheltered and heated, so rain or shine, you're always in the right place. Enjoy a draft beer, a portion of bitterballen (Dutch meatballs), or a leisurely lunch with classics that never get old.
Amstelveenseweg 226h, Amsterdam, Old South – Bar Bonnie
The Marlin Bar
For oysters and a good glass of wine, The Marlin Bar is always a good choice. The restaurant in Oud-Zuid also has a heated terrace where you can enjoy outdoor seating even on cooler days. Order a platter of Fine de Claire or Irish Gold oysters and enjoy a long lunch or drinks reception. Inside, the decor is just as beautiful, but as soon as the sun comes out, you'll want to stay outside, even when the evening sun slowly sets and the air starts to cool.
Van Baerlestraat 120, Amsterdam – themarlinbar.nl

TOOT
Across from the RAI you will find TOET, the new restaurant from the team behind TrumpWith a menu that clearly leans towards Mediterranean and Italian cuisine.

Café Restaurant Sandberg
At the Stedelijk Museum, you'll find Café Restaurant Sandberg, a great all-day dining spot on Museumplein. From breakfast to dinner, you can enjoy the terrace in good weather.

Bennies
Bennies, located in the Schinkelbuurt neighborhood, is a place where comfort food takes center stage. The patio feels like a hidden gem among the neighborhood's industrial buildings. The menu features favorites like a dry-aged beef burger with burrata and their famous haute frikandel.

WILS bakery café
Located on Stadionplein square is Wils Bakery Café, the Burgundian sister of Michelin-starred Wils*. Here, French bistro vibes blend with the craftsmanship of a true bakery.

Everything Joris Bijdendijk touches turns to gold, and Wils Bakery Café proves it once again.

Here you can spend the whole day soaking up the sun, on a beach lounger with a drink in hand. Everything is sustainable and circular, from the menu to the terrace itself.
