We came for the car theme but the food definitely delivered. PS PUBU is a very casual dog-friendly eatery with zero formalities. Just a comfortable friendly spot to dine. Our pasta dishes were prepared just right. The strawberry milkshake was quite delicious and not too sweet at all. Itβs weird of me to say this because I usually order fries as a filler, but their french fries were perfectly crispy and so good. Must try!
Meteor Garden fans: the first date scene was filmed here!
Witness a Koi Fish Feeding Frenzy
Next to the National Palace Museum lies the stunning Zhishan Garden, featuring numerous pavilions and a captivating pond teeming with hundreds of lively koi fish.

Eat Sushi at a Hip Seafood Market in Taipei
Although some say it’s touristy, Addiction Aquatic Development is one of my favorite places to visit in Taipei. We love looking at the tanks of live seafood. It’s extremely clean, has no fishy smell, and your kids can get a very close look at sea creatures.

The latter is a much more affordable option, especially if you have children who can eat an entire tray of uni!
