Inexpensive French food in Taipei? Are you having an old tin bath? That was my first reaction when I found out that it was indeed possible to eat French food here that wasn’t beyond the realms of possibility. I have looked around a lot for it over the past year and could only find stuffContinue reading “French Food- Le Flam”

Lebanese Food- Sababa Pita Bar
Sorry for the delay, real life once again got in the way of doing this stuff and I had to focus my attention on real work, i.e. my first speech at an international conference and a bit of research there on. Also, it appears as though work is back on the agenda, so I canContinue reading “Lebanese Food- Sababa Pita Bar”
Mexican Food – Teotihuacan
One of the easier cuisines to find in Taiwan, old timers such as Crispy Pete and Det. Mickey String recall being able to get low quality-ok Mexican food way back in the era when TV was called books, nobody locked their doors and everyone queued up for up to four hours to marvel at theContinue reading “Mexican Food – Teotihuacan”
Southern Indian Food- Amma’s Kitchen
And so, 36 visits into this thing and the end in sight, I finally start coming to the big hitters. Indian food: something that has always been dear to my heart. In the good old days, it was something I took for granted and finding Indian food in Manchester was like trying to find aContinue reading “Southern Indian Food- Amma’s Kitchen”
Indigenous or Aboriginal Food- 翠山飲食店 (Cuishan restaurant)
City living man, it can bring you down. After a particularly trying week and me doing my best to maintain the stiff upper lip that British people are supposedly famous for, me and Mrs. Bao went to Wulai for a day of seeing nature. After dropping off Preschooler at her kindergarten, we got intoContinue reading “Indigenous or Aboriginal Food- 翠山飲食店 (Cuishan restaurant)”
Arabic Food- Abdu Arabian Cuisine
First off, you get only one of these per calendar year so you’d better make it last, from the bottom of my heart a very big thank you to people who have stepped in to help me continue this in the short term while I sort out my finances and my mind. I had aContinue reading “Arabic Food- Abdu Arabian Cuisine”
Vietnamese Food- Pho 168 越南河粉
Unfortunately for us all, this could be my last blog entry for a while due to the fact that I’ve run out of money and a job I was supposed to be starting moved the start date until February which has left me in a difficult financial position. I’m currently trying sort that out asContinue reading “Vietnamese Food- Pho 168 越南河粉”
British Food-fish and chips at Churchillls
I was going to save food from Blighty until near the end of this experiment, thinking it would be best to use Christmas as an excuse to have traditional food from round my way, but then I figured, well Churchills (the sausage and pie people) have opened up a thing in the Xindian Carrefour, it’sContinue reading “British Food-fish and chips at Churchillls”
Russian Food- Russian Castle
I can understand that Russian food is a bit of a hard sell for people. Really, I get it. I’d say some would have images of standing in line waiting to be served by a hooded, wizened old crone wearing finger-less gloves ladling out you some colourless slop. After you receive your slop, you andContinue reading “Russian Food- Russian Castle”
Indonesian Food- Sate House
Indonesia, or more specifically Bali, was the first destination I took Mrs. Bao to on holiday a ridiculous amount of years ago when we were only boyfriend and girlfriend. A memory I’ll never forget as we somehow convinced our hotel on the first few days in Kuta, and our villa people in Ubud, that weContinue reading “Indonesian Food- Sate House”
