Halal food hunting in a non-Muslim country is always challenging, Taiwan is no exception. You need to plan well not to get starved. This post is long overdue since I promised my friends to compile a list of halal food options, I will write up brief food reviews later :)
Note: Some of the restaurants doesn't open all day long, they have separate opening hours for lunch and dinner. Please note the time and plan your meal time accordingly. The numbering below is not in any particular order, most of the shops have menu in English translation. Print out the addresses in Chinese too, trust me, it will be useful when you take taxi here in Taipei ;)
