Have I broken my own rules here? I just don’t know anymore. For a great many British people, Chinese food starts and ends with Cantonese food, or what they believe to be Cantonese food. In every small town around the country, there is a “Chinese Chippy”, which is essentially just a fish and chip shopContinue reading “Cantonese Food at Palais de Chine”

Burmese Food at 諾貝爾小吃店
Today’s foray into the culinary depths is not so much one particular restaurant, but an area which is dominated by one kind of food. The Nanshijiao area in Zhonghe is home to the Burmese community and what is called in Chinese “Myanmar Street”. Uninterestingly enough, my very first job in Taiwan was in Nanshijiao atContinue reading “Burmese Food at 諾貝爾小吃店”
Iranian Food Special (part 1)
Apologies for having nothing on these pages over the last week. As I have alluded to recently, I’ve moved house. This has disrupted my main reason for getting up in the mornings i.e. writing this bilge and getting cheap laughs aimed at myself and the people who come out with me. I don’t foresee anyContinue reading “Iranian Food Special (part 1)”
Philippine Food- Cres-Art Philippine Cuisine
I briefly mentioned the Philippine community last time I was out and about “reviewing” Latin American cuisine, i.e. they are centered roughly in one place. Today a bit more detail on that and my “too bizarre it can only be true” connection to The Philippines as well as food somewhere along the lines. I guaranteeContinue reading “Philippine Food- Cres-Art Philippine Cuisine”
Latin Flavors- Hola Caribbean Kitchen
We live in bubbles. We all have our communities where we hang out and feel comfortable. In Taipei, Linsen North Road has traditionally been the Japanese community, the Filipino community on Zhongshan North Road near to the wedding shops, the Burmese in Nanshijiao and possibly the friendliest gay community I’ve ever come across (oo-er missus)Continue reading “Latin Flavors- Hola Caribbean Kitchen”
Italian Food-Gusto’s Market of Taste
“What I hate is a story with a dame or a dame with a story. 30 Years I’ve walked this beat. Every gin joint, two bit floozy and doper from here to Pasadena has been put away by me. The answers are not in the bottom of a glass of whiskey. I got the callContinue reading “Italian Food-Gusto’s Market of Taste”
Cambodian food- at the restaurant with no English name.
We are all familiar with Thai food (which I’m yet to cover because it is too easy to find here), and many of us assume the food round them parts is essentially the same. As Cambodia represents a bit of a blind spot for me, and I figured there must be some here somewhere becauseContinue reading “Cambodian food- at the restaurant with no English name.”
Bhutanese Food Bhutan Café
My run back from Kazakhstan took a little longer than I expected but as I have a legal right to remain in Taiwan, I was able to get in without any issues at the border. In all seriousness, I am hoping I can keep this blog going due to the current situation vis-à-vis economicContinue reading “Bhutanese Food Bhutan Café”
German Food at Bauernhaus
Last night was a special event held by the cheeky wee scamps over at the TW Foodies Facebook page, and hosted by chief scamp AVD. This was the second such event held under the TW Foodies banner, and only my first visit. I am a fan of German food especially sausage, big, man-sized sized sausage,Continue reading “German Food at Bauernhaus”
Venezuelan Food- Sabor Venezolano week one Brazilian food- Yuca week two (this will make sense later)
Here I am back again trying to work out how to begin one of these review snippet things without it following a tiresome (even for me) format. This week’s effort is in in two halves. I was walking back from my new/old job where I was doing paperwork and I happened upon this Venezuelan place.Continue reading “Venezuelan Food- Sabor Venezolano week one Brazilian food- Yuca week two (this will make sense later)”
