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…
Supermarkets in Taiwan
If you’re moving to or have just moved to Taiwan and more specifically in this case, Taipei (as it’s the part of the country I’m familiar with), it can be hard to find certain things, as you’ll most likely not recognize any of the supermarkets here from back home, unless you’ve got Carrefour, Geant (now…
So far, so good
Well, it looks like I’m off to a good start, I’ve managed to figure out most things I needed to figure out to get everything working somewhat like how I want it to be. It’s a little bit tricky to get it all sorted out, but I can live with it for now. WordPress isn’t…
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…
The Toasteria
If you fancy a couple of slices of fresh, hot toasted bread with some molten cheese in-between, head over to the Toasteria, Taipei’s latest sandwich shop. It’s small and generally always busy, so you might be better ordering something on the go. They offer a wide range of fillings to choose from as well as…
Escape41
Escape41 is owned by a friend of a friend that happens to be another foreigner living in Taiwan. The restaurant is located by the waterfront just outside of Kaohsiung City. They serve up a wide range of different types of food, including some really unusual burger toppings. Although I haven’t been down there yet, I…
New stuff
Ok, it looks like the new site design is coming together, simple, yet elegant (or something). I got some help by my friend Gavin, as I really suck at PHP. I’ve added two new pages, Places to eat in Taiwan and Food related stuff. The idea is to provide a list of good places to…
Black man beef noodle
This is possibly the best beef noodle place in all of Taiwan, the soup is rich and beefy and the beef is really soft and tender and the noodles are some of the best you can get as well. The location is on the map below, and you can call them on (02) 2913-5899, but…
Cosi o Cosi
Cosi o Cosi is a decent little Italian restaurant on Dunhua south road, section 1 and the food is generally quite good there. Some stuff is slightly over priced, but most of it is quite tasty. They also have a large selection of imported beer for those interested in that. Their phone number is (02)…
Alleycats Pizza
If you like decent pizza and calzone, then Alleycats should definetly be on your list if you live in Taipei. Although I’ve only been to one of the five restaurants (the one on LiShui St), I can highly recomment them. The food is good and it’s also one of only a few outlets in Taipei…
