I live very close to this place and it's one of the several xiaolongbao places that I think is awesome! I concur. Potsticker place? I'd have to try that... Hahahahahahah!

Potsticker place? I’d have to try that…

The cost is also a little cheaper and it actually has more "soup" in each delicate little steamed bao. I tried a bunch of Xiao Long Bao places in Taipei during this trip, and I think this one is the best. The potsticker place down the street is also most excellent. 鼎太元 - 106台北市大安區基隆路2段156號 02-27386068.

I went to the 餡餅 shop on 和平東路二段315號 this evening ordered the beef (really good!) and the radish one (the stuffing is too salty even for me), and it is indeed the best I have had since arriving in Taiwan in Aug. I hope to read more of your food recommendations for my next trip to Taiwan.

Xinsheng and Chang Chun... Though I also find Lao Dong to be pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, which was actually in the Dallas area of Texas, but the broth is good. And it's not more expensive than your selection ($130 for regular, $200 for tendon), though not worth it in my book. I have yet to have beef noodle soup that makes me feel like it was worth $200NT.

why cook when they can simply step out their door and get any of the foods mentioned on this list and more? I can completely understand why a lot of taiwanese (especially the ladies) don’t even bother.

However, it's probably true that most Taipei-rens don't bother and/or don't know how to cook anymore (see my <a href="http://meieats.com/?p=76" rel="nofollow">"The Essentials of a Taipei Pantry"</a> on why).
