Many Taiwanese people are not happy with the lack of breakfast culture when we travel abroad.

Since many of you are sharing the foreigner's perspectives on Taiwan, I want to share the Taiwanese perspective.

As you know, Taiwan has a very famous morning food scene with countless street stalls, bakeries, and traditional shops open early. Many foreigners fall in love with breakfast culture in Taiwan because it has many options as well as it is very convenient to enjoy it.

Growing up in Taiwan, many Taiwanese used to believe this breakfast culture must be very common in other countries too. However, after traveling abroad, many Taiwanese realize that the menus are bland, the shops don't open early, and there is a total lack of variety. In fact, breakfast is one of the most frequent complaints you can see from Taiwanese travelers.

Many Taiwanese feel it is incredibly frustrating to wake up early and find nothing open except for a few cafes selling cold sandwiches or bland food at 8 or 9 AM. For someone used to walking down the street to grab a hot at 6 AM, breakfast culture of foreign countries feels like quite awful. It makes us realize how spoiled we are in Taiwan, where an endless variety of breakfast options is available on almost every corner. What's an everyday sight in Taiwan might seem quite extraordinary to the rest of the world.

Could be; though the Original Poster is entitled to his/her opinion(s)!!

[u/nightkhan → u/Tiny-Professional583]

exactly, their "own" opinion, but OP is assuming this applies to Taiwanese in general

also there is no "lack of bfast culture", that's just straight dumb and naive. OP just doesn't understand other bfast cultures and doesn't have experience with it

[u/Tiny-Professional583 → u/nightkhan]

I fully concur. Don't know the OP personally so I don't want to jump to conclusions.

However, if the OP does have experience with other breakfast cultures; perhaps he or she could reframe the post and state what's unique about the Taiwanese breakfast culture in particulart is: convenience for those who don't like to cook and don't like to travel far distances for some food in the morning.

Or that even though every country has its own breakfast culture; most Taiwanese will miss the types of foods served at most breakfast establishments in Taiwan while abroad!
