Our first meal in Taipei! We walked from our hotel named Green World Hotel Jian Pei Suites at Jianguo North Road, Zhongshan district and found this little eatery at a back alley. Starving, we entered the restaurant and was welcomed warmly. We were their first customers.
Hubs being tested on his Chinese!!! I told him he gotta buck or else I would have to go on starving!! We ordered Tung Poh Roe (fatty pork), bittergourd with black beans and a Hakka stir fry. We had no idea what was the Hakka all about so we waited to be surprised. We ordered 2 small bowls of rice, only to be asked to serve ourselves from the huge rice cooker. Ooooh free flow of rice and soup!
Food was excellent.
