Cantonese Food at Palais de Chine

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”

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”

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)”

Faha’s Kitchen vs. This Café

Now this was something I never expected, I firstly want to give a hat tip to Jennifer one of my FB friends and also part of the FB group TW Foodies for introducing Faha to me. I would never have found out about this without your help. Hands up, if you are familiar with theContinue reading “Faha’s Kitchen vs. This Café”

Czech Food – Divaldo

Czech Food- Divaldo Today’s entry is a little different from my usual shtick where I affectionately mock my dining companions, as it is somewhat bittersweet. It is a case of “hello new dining experience, goodbye my friend” as todays guest got a promotion and is heading back to his native Tokyo. Taipei has a veryContinue reading “Czech Food – Divaldo”

Danish food Tulip Timeout

Ah, hot dogs.  One of the few fast foods that I’ve never got on with. Maybe it goes back to being a kid in the UK of the 80’s when a hot dog meant, a limp uninspiring sausage (oo-er missus!) that had been boiled to imperfection, a boring bun, too much ketchup and if youContinue reading “Danish food Tulip Timeout”

New Zealand Food KGB Burgers

I will give a disclaimer here right off the bat. I can’t give an objective review of this place because I’ve been coming here for years, I know one of the owners and on nodding terms with the other,  I’ll more than likely be here a few times during this experiment, and will carry onContinue reading “New Zealand Food KGB Burgers”

La Caja de Musica =Spanish Food

Its early days, but I had to break my 500NT rule because it was my wedding anniversary. Now I know that it sounds like pure gorgonzola to get married on Valentine’s Day, but it really was the only day available for the Church in Guam where we married. Really, you can ask Mrs. Bao. AsContinue reading “La Caja de Musica =Spanish Food”
