10 Things We Enjoyed in Taiwan

We enjoyed many things but these were our favourites. In no particular order:





1. Night markets - we went to Shihlin four times!



2. Taoyuan Jie beef noodles - best!



3. Mr Meeky Yang - very patient and good company too.



4. Shin Yeh - the stirfried liver and the bitter gourd dish were excellent



5. TS Hotel - very convenient location and such friendly staff



6. Small shopping centres and Wufenpu - not the big shopping centres which are similar to those in Singapore



7. Tea at the Red Theatre



8. Spring Park Urai - lovely experience, if budget is not an issue



9. Leader Village Taroko - a unique experience for city bumpkins like us



10. Taroko Gorge - wonderful scenery





FYI, we spent 15 days in Taipei and Taroko Gorge.

Which SHIN Yeh did you visit? I too like the liver with coriander and shredded ginger the way they prepare it. It tastes different in Singapore because the pork here especially from the black pigs taste considerablly better.

10 Things We Enjoyed in Taiwan


Nice list! It%26#39;s a great quick reference of things to do and eat.



Oh yes, I always select black-haired pig pork when grocery shopping if there%26#39;s a choice. It doesn%26#39;t have the ';porky'; taste of white pork.



And when shopping for sausages, I always buy:

We went to the Shin Yeh at Zhongxiao E Rd Sect 4. Yeah, I don%26#39;t know if it%26#39;s the type of pig or the chef%26#39;s control of the fire but the liver was so tender. The other ';porky'; thing that was different was the pig intestines in the Ay Chung Mian Xian. We normally don%26#39;t eat intestines in Singapore but these didn%26#39;t smell bad at all and were nice and QQ.





One last thing: we preferred Shiziting to Ya Rou Bian too. Ya Rou Bian%26#39;s duck is actually more ';high class'; than Shiziting%26#39;s, but for overall quality, including the soup stock for the noodles, we preferred Shiziting :P




Welcome back, Squidoid. Yes, I remember U. :-)





That%26#39;s a neat list of what U enjoyed in Taiwan - refreshing %26amp; cool!





Thks for sharing.
