2.yes

total 3 person.
We can reach taichung anytime, but is it worth it to take the train/hsr/bus as it will require 6 hours as per google maps?

where as private car only 2 hours?

is it really expensive to hire private car?

Zuoying to Taichung, then cab up if you can.
Private not expensive.
Unless you want to go by bus.
Bus will be quite packed nowadays consider it is holiday for quite a lot of people.

Cab or private almost similar.
I prefer private.
Meals about 11 dollars is worthwhile.
Night time so cold, i doubt you wanna walk anywhere to find meals in the cold.

Are there any eateries or restaurants which you guys will strongly recommend going to in Taipei? It will be a short 4d3n trip next week, for a concert.
If possible, I am trying to avoid eating at the same places.

But there is this fruit tea stall at XMD near one piece shop which I am definitely going back again. It's nice and refreshing, though it's nothing special just tea and fruits... :p

Find all those places where tv series are shot.
An example: 高記上海料理餐廳(復興店) 第一集李大仁苦等程又青赴約的高記上海料理餐廳,是台北老字號浙滬餐館,不輸鼎泰豐的小籠包及生煎包、蘿蔔絲餅、蟹殼黃,是內行人必點美食。復興南路 忠孝東路口上

中島美嘉at TICC and 柯泯薰at師大.

Prefer to eat where locals go if possible. I am quite ok with any cuisines, but the downside is that I won't be able to eat much alone...
