the night market is where its at. Although you in particular might not me enthused about "snake alley".
Great food, even (especially) if you are a vegetarian. Even the 7-11s there sell vegan fake tuna-salad onigiri.
But Tainan is way nicer than Taipei.

Spent a couple nights in Taiwan. Seemed kind of featureless and shabby but great food. Not a bad summary. If you're staying in Taipei, the Grand Hotel (Japanese people call it the Maruyama) is like a massive over-the-top Chinese palace but is not that expensive. If you can get away, the scenery around Taroko Gorge is very spectacular. Mountains rising up to 2000m and beyond only a few km from the sea. The gorge itself is very steep and very narrow.
