Eating in Taipei!

What a topic to bring back the memories!

Although we had not thoroughly satisfied our palates in our 7-days tour, we did enjoyed a neat sampling of food eats.

So here’s re-kindling our taste buds once again – what are the foods we’ve eaten? How much did my wife and I enjoy them?

The next time you’re in Taiwan, check these out and compare your verdicts! Bon appetit! :-)

Need to know what the Scoring Stars means?

Omelette has Sweet Sauce – different, not disagreeable from the salty ones we have in Singapore. Omelette and Batter were fragant. Try adding Chilli to “cover over” the sweetness..

02. Shrimp Omelette

Again, Sweet Sauce added weirdness to taste. Not much Shrimps, nor flavour.

I wish I was wrong. I believe other places would have better Shrimp Omelette than this. There was no more than 5 (!) Shrimp morsels – less than 15% of the dish! :-(
