Street food vendors in Taipei also offer several kinds of hot beverages, so be sure to drink plenty of water while you are eating. Some vendors offer ice-cold soft drinks, but it is a good idea to avoid them because they are full of sugar. Not sure if they are much healthier, but I always go for fruit drinks, like passion fruit or guava, always available in roadside stalls.
If you are hungry and thirsty, do not miss the sweet and salty hot spring roll, the hoisin sauce chicken hoisin ham, and the spring roll.
