Taipei is a special destination for foodies. Besides its famed night markets, iconic beef noodles and a growing constellation of Michelin-starred restaurants, the city\u2019s real soul is in its hidden corners, where you\u2019ll find craft beer paired with mala fried chicken; sweet potato coffee, created by a latte art champion, no less; wild teas poured like wine and Dongpo pork with a black tea soy milk cocktail served inside a hidden VHS-lined bistro.<\/p>\n

Chicken Bar by Weekend<\/strong><\/h3>\n

American and Korean fried chicken have serious competition. In 2020, inspired by their love for the traditional salt-and-pepper chicken of Taiwan\u2019s night markets, chefs Jeek Pan and Chester Lin joined forces to create Chicken Bar.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which has a retro design and laid-back vibe, serves crispy, aromatic and deeply satisfying fried chicken tossed with spices, garlic, mala and a peppery kick that lets Taiwan\u2019s own fried chicken heritage shine.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> Several locations, but we recommend the main shop at 74, Section 2, Keelung Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan<\/p>\n

Must order:<\/strong> Mala hotpot fried chicken with a Taiwanese draught beer; fried cauliflower for vegetarians<\/p>\n
