Guide to 10 Top Food Places at Longshan Temple Station Blue Line Taipei 龍山寺 美食

One good thing about Taipei is almost everywhere is connected by the subway / metro system (known as MRT). So, exploring Taipei is easy. Just check into an hotel near to any MRT station and go everywhere by subway.

I am exploring Taipei by MRT stations - getting off the stations and discover good places to eat, see, do and buy things on foot.

So, any new option is welcome. Hence, I was eager to check out Madam Ang KK. Turns out that Madam Ang KK is now one of my preferred options for in-mall coffee break.
