#1 - 度小月, Tainan food, well known for its noodles with homemade meat sauce. Everything is delicious and is a good start of our food marathon in Taipei...
Fried cuttle fish ball
Fried lobster roll
#2 - 太和殿麻辣火鍋, famous for its super spicy sichuan style hot pot. VERY spicy indeed..we couldn't even finish the lettuce because it all soaked with the spicy broth.. The cuttlefish is the best I've had with chucks of cuttlefish meat.
#3 - 明月湯包, not too impressed with the xiao long bao, they didn't steam it all the way through so the meat and the broth are not hot enough, but the skin is thin enough and comparable to shanghai quality. The onion cake is not good at all, the batter is so thick apparently they use too much flour but not enough oil and green onion.

#1 - 同心圓水晶紅豆餅/奶油餅, we had the black sesame flavor.. it was soo good!! We were there when they made the first batch of cake for the day. We needed to wait for approx 5 min but totally worth it.. the melting sesame paste is not too sweet and goes well with the fluffy cake shell.
#2 - 冰館 for its shaved ice and fruit. Unfortunately mango is not in season so the mixed fruit is really only strawberry and kiwi.
#3 - 喫飯餐廳, my colleague recommend this place and have to have the rice with lard no matter how fat it is. So guilty but so declicious, chewy and so flavorful. I have almost half of the bowl. The garlic oyster also is very good.
#4 - 鴉片粉圓, i love tapioca, and this one definitely the best I have had.
#5 - 阿宗麵線, I was soo full by then already.. and it was only 4pm. Nobody visiting Taipei should miss this one because it has the most people waiting in line for a bowl of intestine. I was blown away by the thick flavorful soup....this is one of the best thing I have ever had, even though I don't eat intestine.
#6 - 福州世祖胡椒餅@饒河街夜市, people start lining up for their pepper bun on the street when the night market opens at 4pm. Not glamourous, no fancy plates and setting, no variety at all. Just the peppery pork bun itself wins the heart of Taipei residents and tourists. The buns are roasted in a tandoor wit hot charcoal fire. the ratio of green onion of minced pork is 1:1. I enjoyed every single bite of it and even wanted more after finished the whole bun which is slightly bigger than the size of my palm. The aftertaste of pepper lingered for the whole night inside my mouth. We decided to pay another visit before we leave for HK.
#7 - 東發飲食店 (蚵仔麵線), oyster noodles similar to the 阿宗麵線, the soup is less thick. still good but I prefer 阿宗麵線.
#8 - 麻辣臭豆腐, missing picture.

#1 - 青葉餐廳@微風廣場, dining under the chandelier. This is a hip and fancy resturant serving contemporary taiwanese food. Everything is good on the table, the mullet roe fried rice score the highest point.
#2 - 福州世祖胡椒餅@饒河街夜市 again. Do I need to say more!!!
Review of my Taipei trip - I can really eat alot....
