Must Eat Taiwanese Food at Shin Yeh Taiwanese Cuisine 欣葉台菜創始店

January 31st, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Must Eat, Taiwan, Taiwanese, Travels / Leave A Comment

This is my second time dining at Shin Yeh Taiwanese Cuisine 欣葉台菜創始店 now, the first shop of the Shin Yeh empire. Excellent service as always, and great food. I’m from San Francisco so I consider this to be the Koi Palace of Taipei. A lot of the dishes are small but well-made. Prices are higher [...]

Must Eat Honey Toast at Perfume Dance 跳舞香水

January 28th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Dessert, Food, Must Eat, Taiwan, Travels / Leave A Comment

Jennifer and I were walking down Zhongxiao East Rd and stumbled upon Perfume Dance 跳舞香水. It was like a stairway into another world, where waitresses dressed like cute (but not tasteless) maids and everyone else wore masquerade masks, taking pictures of themselves and their honey toasts. After all, the honey toasts double as works of [...]

Must Eat Egg Pudding 雞蛋布丁 at How Sweet 幾分甜

January 27th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Must Eat, Taiwan, Travels / 2 Comments

One thing I like about Taiwan is their creativity in packaging. Check out the egg pudding 雞蛋布丁 that Tina got me from How Sweet 幾分甜. (Thanks Tina!) They reuse the egg shell to hold the pudding. Clever, eh? The pudding is smooth and loaded with actual vanilla beans (that tended to settle towards the bottom), [...]

Must Eat Purple Rice Rice Roll 紫米飯團 at Liu Jia Fan Tuan 劉家飯糰

January 27th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Must Eat, Street Food, Taiwan, Taiwanese, Travels / Leave A Comment

During my first Morning in Taipei, Anne brought me to her local fan tuan 飯糰 spot. It’s a tiny store that’s not even an actual store – just a cart inside a tiny outside room, if that makes any sense. This was my first time having purple rice used in the rice roll and I [...]

Must Eat NT$1500 Beef Noodle Soup at Niu Ba Ba Niu Rou Mian 牛爸爸牛肉麵

January 27th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Must Eat, Taiwan, Taiwanese, Travels / Leave A Comment

It sounds crazy, but Jennifer and I went for the NT$1500 – that’s US$50!!!! – bowl of beef noodle soup. We shared a bowl. We’re tourists, so we might as well modestly live it up. It was the lowest end of the high end bowls served at Niu Ba Ba Niu Rou Mian 牛爸爸牛肉麵, with [...]
