Discover the Heart of Taipei at BeMyGuest!
Want to experience Taiwan like a local? Welcome to BeMyGuest Taipei! We’re tucked away in Dadaocheng, the city’s historic soul, where every corner hides a cultural gem and a story waiting to be told.

Wander, Chat, and Eat with Alex
Forget the tourist traps—join Alex for a stroll through the charming alleys of Dadaocheng. As we head toward the traditional market, you’ll hear the local "insider" stories and neighborhood gossip that bring the area to life. Along the way, you’ll get to scout for unique ingredients, snack on authentic treats, and chat with the friendly vendors who make this community so special.

The Secret to the Perfect Braised Pork Rice
Everyone loves Lu Rou Fan (滷肉飯), but the real magic lies in the specific local ingredients added during the simmer. That’s why you’ve got to join us! We’ll dive deep into these culinary treasures together.

In this class, you’ll learn to cook traditional braised pork rice completely from scratch. But wait, there’s more! Alex is also sharing a special family secret: a classic stir-fry recipe passed down directly from his grandma. It’s a taste of home you won't find in any cookbook.
