Forkers is another fairly recent burger place in Taipei and although it’s a fair bit bigger than KGB, it seems to be just as busy and if you’re not going in a group, you better call ahead and book a table most nights of the week between 19.00 and 20.30. Forkers feels more like a…

KGB
KGB is short for Kiwi Gourmet Burger and they’re located on the left hand side of Shida Road if you’re coming from the Taipower MRT station. They have a pretty decent selection of burgers and everything is cooked fresh as you order it. I’ve only had the classic cheese burger there so far, but they…
Biff’s Pita
Some stuff is hard to find in Taiwan, at least if you want something a little bit different and stuff inside a pita bread or a wrap is usually not that easy to find here. Thankfully one lad decided to start up his own eatery here and although he started out very low key, business…
N.Y. Bagles Cafe
If you get a craving for bagles in Taipei, then N.Y. Bagles Cafe is one of the places where you can get some decent bagles. However, they serve a lot more than bagles and the good news is that they’re open 24h. They have a fairly decent selection of bagles and you can get a…
Debbie's
Debbie’s is a smallish American style diner that opened up in Taoyuan in June 2008. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and it’s tastefully decorated, in as much as you can decorate a diner. The owner speaks English and they seem to cater both to the locals and the foreigners in Taoyuan. The place is…
Lugar home bread bar
Bread, it’s so easy to get good bread in Europe (not counting the UK), but once you go elsewhere in the world, you quickly find that good bread is one of those things that is actually not very easy to find. I’d seen the Lugar home bread bar in the food court in the 101…
Flavors
So, I finally got around to visiting Flavors, the only Swedish restaurant in Taiwan apart from Ikea, which I don’t really think counts. They’ve just opened at a new location and the place was small ,but cozy and well decorated, although it didn’t look particularly Swedish. The dinner tonight was arranged by the Swedish Trade…
The Windmill
This Thursday night of all nights of the week, we visited a new place in Taoyuan called The Hometown of Windmill. Go figure about how they come up with names for restaurants here. The name seems to come from the fact that the building has a large windmill on it. They server “European” style food,…
T.G.I. Friday's Taiwan
If you’re fed up with all the local stuff, generally the easiest western style restaurant to locate in Taiwan is a T.G.I. Friday’s. Taiwan’s version of T.G.I. Friday’s has a slightly limited selection of food compared to what you might be used to from other parts of the world. They also don’t tend to serve…
Nyonya
Nyonya is what I’d consider one if not the best Singaporean/Malaysian style restaurant in Taiwan. It’s located in Taoyuan and I’ve never been dissapointed with the food when I’ve gone there. They have a somewhat limited menu, but everything is excellet. You must try their sambal shrimp, it’s really tasty. Other excellente choices are the…
