Food Hunting in Ximending Taipei "Little Tokyo"

Ximending is a very popular and crowded district in Taipei, many people called it "Harajuku of Taipei" and "Shibuya of Taipei". It is located near MRT Ximen Station (西門站) exit 6. Nearby you might find many hotels, clubs, karaoke palace and of course many stores for shopping or stall that sell handmade products. You can find many type of entertainment around here, including street singer, artist, performance.
