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.

vegan Christmas menu: 10 x vegan Christmas recipe inspiration

Tomato tarte tatin – starter 

This vegan tarte tatin is easy to make on a baking sheet and always looks delicious. The caramelized tomatoes add a delicious sweet and sour flavor. Another serving tip is with pesto; just be sure to check beforehand whether you're buying vegan pesto! 
Recipe from @Selliefood

Vegan scallops in garlic butter – starter

Who says scallops can't be vegan? King oyster mushrooms make a perfect alternative: soft, tender, and full of flavor. The garlic butter makes it perfect.

Eggplant carpaccio with harissa – starter

A dish bursting with flavor and, above all, a wealth of color. The spicy harissa adds a touch of extra spice to the tender eggplant. A delicious vegan twist on the classic carpaccio. 
Recipe by @Sannevanlierop

Rice sheets with Korean jackfruit – appetizer

A deliciously crispy dish made by briefly frying the rice paper. These Asian-style jackfruit snacks look super festive and taste delicious! Add some crispy chili oil for a spicy twist. 
Recipe from @voorkoken

Tomato tartare – starter

This recipe is inspired by classic tartare, only it's completely vegan. Perfect as a starter. Serve with a few slices of toasted baguette, rubbed with a little garlic, to add an extra crunch.

Stuffed pumpkin – main course

This time, no stuffed turkey, but a stuffed pumpkin. It's also nice that you can prepare everything ahead of time and then let the oven do the rest.

Jackfruit beef bourguignon – main course

A stew is a true winter dish. But want to make it meatless sometime? Then try the meat substitute jackfruit, which is almost indistinguishable from shredded beef.
