product description

Description

Taipei is a gourmet's destination where people buy fresh produce almost every morning of the year; where weddings are celebrated with streetside banquets; and where baristas craft cups of world-class coffee. Crook and Hung invite readers to learn more about the city's fascinating foodways and the diverse culture behind them.
