Taiwan is a food-centric country. The density of restaurants/food stalls is unbelievable, and this makes eating at any time of day or night super convenient. Of course, this also makes weight gain super convenient as well...There are countless programs on TV documenting where and what to eat, which is how we found this doughnut stand in the Jhongli Township of Taoyuan County. This stand sells only doughnuts (and only sugar coated raised, at that) and sandwiches (fried, of course) from opening time (around 12 noon) until they run out of items (usually doughnuts sell out within one hour of opening). Some of the popularity comes from the price ($8NTD/doughnut), but the doughnuts do taste pretty good fresh from the fryer. My favorite fried desserts are still the ones at Leonard's of Honolulu, but for the price, these fellas are pretty good.
So besides watching local TV, one can usually find the best eats by seeing which places have the longest lines. That's usually my rule of thumb when trying to see what to eat at one of the many night markets here in Taiwan...and that's a whole 'nother can of worms to open.
