ABBEY:  We tried a couple of times to visit Chick-fil-A, but the long queues always made us hesitate. Eventually, we realized the line wasn’t going anywhere, so we went for it. Good thing we did, because the wait was much shorter when we finally visited. We ordered the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich and the Deluxe Sandwich. Both were impressively juicy and full of flavor in every bite, from the soft bun to the perfectly cooked chicken. The Deluxe Sandwich, topped with melted cheese, looked just as good as it tasted and was definitely photo-worthy. On the side, we had their signature Waffle Potato Fries along with all six dipping sauces. Personal favorites? The Chick-fil-A sauce, Garden Herb Ranch, and Honey Mustard stood out. To complete the meal, we treated ourselves to a rich, hand-spun chocolate milkshake. This is one of those moments where calorie counting takes a backseat, and honestly, it’s worth it.

ABBEY:  7-Eleven If there’s one place that defines convenience in Taiwan, it’s 7-Eleven. We found ourselves making multiple trips, whether for quick snacks or unique finds like the limited-edition mojito in a tetra pack. One highlight was reuniting with a Coke Slurpee at a branch in Yilan . It felt nostalgic in the best way. Whether you’re grabbing food to go or dining in, 7-Eleven offers a wide variety of options. The dine-in areas are clean and well-maintained, with tissues and wipes available so you can tidy up after eating. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference for the next customer. Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza Taipei We visited the Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza, and it’s easily one of the most impressive Starbucks branches we’ve seen. The space is massive, with dedicated sections for coffee and tea. They even serve cocktails. Yes, I had an Espresso Martini at 9 AM, no regrets. Seating is abundant, so it’s easy to find a cozy spot. It’s a great place to peop...

GetYourGuide Tour: Shifen and Jiufen Day Trip One of the easiest ways to explore northern Taiwan is by booking a guided tour through GetYourGuide . We simply hopped on the bus and let our guide take care of everything, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Our first stop was the stunning Shifen Waterfall . The power of the cascading water, combined with the mist and roaring sound, made it a truly breathtaking natural attraction. It is easily one of the most impressive waterfalls in Taiwan. Next, we visited Shifen Old Street , where we experienced the famous sky lantern tradition . Writing our wishes and watching the lantern float into the sky felt both meaningful and memorable. The staff also doubled as photographers, helping us capture great photos during the launch. For snacks, we tried the popular stuffed chicken wing. It is a unique street food where savory rice is packed inside a grilled chicken wing. It was filling enough to keep us going through the afternoon....

Taiwan Taipei MRT station rules no food or drink sign for tourists Planning your dream escape to the "Heart of Asia"? From the neon-lit streets of Taipei to the misty peaks of Alishan, Taiwan is legendary for being safe, clean, and incredibly welcoming. But here’s the thing: Taiwan takes its rules seriously. What might be a "minor oopsie" in Europe or US and even other Asian Countries could land you a hefty fine in Taipei. To keep your holiday stress-free (and your wallet full), here are the most common laws tourists accidentally break—and how to stay on the sunny side of the law!  1. The "Golden Rule" of the MRT: No Snacking! Taipei’s MRT is one of the cleanest metro systems in the world, and they keep it that way with strict enforcement. The moment you cross that yellow line into the paid area, your snacks must stay in your bag.   •The Trap: This includes chewing gum, water, and even betel nuts. •The Law: Mass Rapid Transit Act, Article 50. •Penalt...
