By far the best food that we ate in Taiwan was while we were standing in a bustling night market, or walking down the street. However on the rare occasion that we decided to be seated for a meal, we weren't exactly disappointed with what we ordered. Here's a look at the rest of the things we gorged ourselves with:
Neo Ro Mein - beef noodle soup. The broth was a tad bland but the meat was tender and tasty. |
Top: A truly decadent peanut butter cocktail. Bottom: Fragrant gin & rosemary combination. |
Stinky tofu soup (centre) - extra spicy. No where near as edible as the fried street version. |
Standard Chinese restaurant, where we ate various mediocre veggie and rice dishes. Sadly nothing at all special. |
Sushi. Not exactly Taiwanese but it was actually our first experience of a conveyor-belt restaurant and it was cheap. |
Second oyster omelette: "This one was better" |
We ate in an aborigine restaurant in Taroko gorge and drank rice wine out of cute wild boar cups. The food we had is in the next two pictures... |
Weirdest dumpling thing ever. Looked like a breast implant, tasted like pork and honey, sprinkled with garlic and coriander. |
Taipei 101 food court food. Dave got a bulgogi-esque dish. Rather tasty. |
I got another steak. Top middle is a bowl of "soup" with a sheet of puff pastry baked on the top. Interesting idea but horrible soup. It tasted like watery custard. |
