Tainan is considered by many Taiwanese to have the best food in the country, and the city wears the reputation with quiet confidence. The specialities here tend toward small portions served in small bowls — danzi noodles in a slow-cooked pork broth, milkfish congee, shrimp rolls fried in crisp pastry — and the custom is to eat many small dishes rather than a single large meal. The older market areas around Chihkan Tower and the Anping district are the best places to graze.
