just got back from taipei... shopping - eh, not much, but the nightlife... all good!

i think taipei just moved up to my #1 asian city for a weekend getaway.

[chinaman_6 1,156]

Yeah, nightlife is really great.

Too bad I am leaving this beautiful country today ;(

[azn8oi 204,571]

taiwan as a country is quite beautiful. taipei as a city is hilariously ugly. but there's so much to love that it's easy to look pass the dilapidation.

You kidding me? Gongguan has tons of good places to eat. On the top of my head, there's a street behind Roosevelt road with a bunch of Thai resturants. Just stroll around the backalleys adjacent to the main streets. Lots of resturants around that area. It would help a lot of you have a local buddy to take you around the good places to eat. Nightmarket food is ehhhh don't eat that stuff to often.

You can also check out the area around Zhongshan (one MRT stop north of Taipei Main station) for more good resturants. Then of course there's the district behind the old Sogo Zhongxiao department store that has all sorts of good resturants.

During my summer internship, I've eaten at a ton of good resturant type places but I haven't been to many authentic mom and pop resturant/ eateries.

It's cuz of the humidity and culture of dirtiness (slowly catching up to Japan standards though)

[azn8oi 204,571]

Gongguan food is just OK.

I live really near it...

Everything else you named is legit though.

I've been here for a month now, a bit more in the know now.

you sure? for me those night market and roadside stalls are KICK ASS. didnt bother to venture into those restaurants when i was there. was too full just from walking down the streets. hahaha. taiwan food is not about the restaurants man. its about the authentic 'xiao chi' or 'small eateries' when translated directly.

have u tried the fried chicken where they give u some plastic gloves and then u like eat the fuck out of the chicken "shou pa ji"?

[azn8oi 204,571]

is that the huge chicken steak?

HUGE

[gaydad 11,207]

the gloves are key

u are at NTU? there is um... Ding Gua Gua near it right? the mascot is like a downsyndrom clown with huge muscles?

[azn8oi 204,571]

I can't say that I've seen it... but if you point me to it, I will gladly go eat it.

[gaydad 11,207]

i honestly dont rememebr where it is, but they use yam for fries. instead of potatoes its really good. just flex ur arm and ask the girls at xi men ding "where is ding gua gua" they will proabbly point you to it good luck young man

edit:

do me a favor take a picture of the store and the food i havent been in taiwan for 5 years thanks

[midokum 136]

[azn8oi 204,571]

ah, that.

I haven't been that that particular place, or even noticed it for that matter, because I completely avoid western styled fast food.

I've had those kind of fries in a street vendor in Taichung though... fucking excellent. I know they're pretty legit!

[gaydad 11,207]

THANK YOU!!!!

that made my day

[slight 10,033]

Will be leaving Taiwan before Xmas and about the only things I would miss are the daily eyecandy (read: beautiful women) and the shaved iced x black sugar dou hua in 公館.

[super 43,684]

I miss this place soooo bad right now:

MEET-FRESH. 鲜宇仙

^fucking delicious

[azn8oi 204,571]

yeah, i had a food epiphany with that the first time i tried it. it's pretty good.

[azn8oi 204,571]

I'm eating the Ding Gua Gua yam fries as I am typing. mmm....

[super 43,684]

Seriously, go eat at as many good places as possible. Food in America sucks....cock (well for the most part)

[l3ootlegs 290,798]

[azn8oi 204,571]

Since I go to 東區 a few times a week I will just kop from there now.

I found a Uni pasta carbonara for 200NT in 誠品.. pretty good.

the only thing to make me feel better about not living in asia is that i get too fat there.
