“今天吃什麼？” (What to eat today?) is a food picker for anyone in Taiwan who can't decide. Lunch, dinner or a late-night snack: pick a mode and a budget, open the box, and let fate choose from 700+ dishes you can find in Taiwan, from night market street food, bento and beef noodle soup to ramen, Thai basil pork, dim sum, burgers and bubble tea. Dish names stay in Chinese, with English underneath, so you can order right away.
Rarity only depends on price: the further a dish's typical price is above its mode's usual price, the rarer it is. Usual prices: meals NT$120, breakfast NT$60, drinks NT$60, snacks & tea NT$70, late night NT$150.
Rarity says nothing about taste: braised pork rice is “Everyday”, and still number one for many people.
Because that is what you will see on menus and signs in Taiwan. Every dish keeps its Chinese name, with an English name and description underneath, so you can show it to the shop or search it on the map.
