The Filipino friend claims that when he visited Taiwan previously, Xiao Long Bao and beef noodles were suggested to him, but these dishes were beyond of his reach and cost at least NT$200 to NT$300. A Taiwanese purple rice ball, on the other hand, is rather full and costs between NT$30 and NT$50. Additionally, he recommended Taiwan advertise this meal as a must-try treat.
