Good eats near One Star Hotel chongquing ?

Early Dec.08 during staying there, I had tried the Taoyuan Street Beef Noodle ---- good taste but many people, better choose the off peak hour. Beside this shop is also a famous pau shop, can try their meat pau and taosha pau. You can ask the hotel provide you nearby hotel map and you can ask the people when around Taoyuan Street the famous beef noodle shop.

There is another shop 娲斧鐖剁墰鑲夐旱 very near to the hotel and was awarded best beef noodle at Taipei for year 2007 if not mistaken, haven%26#39;t tried yet.

Sorry, we did try the 楫浠?just beside the hotel, not bad. http://www.meetfresh.com.tw/about.htm

Can try.

Hi,

If you%26#39;re not squeamish about rather dingy-looking hole-in-the-wall sidewalk eateries, there%26#39;s a famous pig knuckle rice eatery (in business for 50 years) located at 22 Yenping S. Rd. (where Yenping S. meets BoAi Rd., across from the Main Post Office). Closed Sundays.

If you%26#39;re headed in the direction of Taipei Station, there%26#39;s a food court in the basement level of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Dept. Store, just outside MRT Taipei Main Station.

Probably too much walking if you%26#39;re in a rush to get to the museum, but you can try on another day:

Emperor Foods is well-known for Taiwanese-style pork chops. Exit hotel, walk south on Chongqing S., cross Kaifeng St. and Hankou St., Wuchang St. and Yuanling St., then turn right on Hengyang Rd. Add.: No. 37 Hengyang Rd. They have several stores in Taipei.

Taipei, Taiwan Food suggestions?

Hi all,

We are going to Taipei for New Year holiday and was hoping to get some suggestions for good restaurants.

We are big fans of quality food - all types, but are traveling with kids. Does anyone have suggestions for good family friendly restaurants? Even good dessert shops.

We know about Din Tai Fung - love the dumplings! But are looking for other suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

hey, i found this blog about food in taipei

hope this helpful

Cheers =)

Among the restaurants listed on the Food %26amp; Dining thread, a few deserve a special mention for quality food: Shanghai Shanghai @ Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A9; Wakin%26#39;s Kitchen; Shin Yeh @ Taipei 101; Bayphonetown @ Living Mall; Wang Ji rice dumplings; Taoyuan St. beef noodles; Chi Chia Chuang Chicken Rice Changchun Rd. location; and Uncle John; and Dragon Restaurant.

For Western baked goods, Ellie Patisserie on Lane 300 RenAi Rd. Sec. 4 (behind Cathay Hospital) http://www.ellie.com.tw/ (the RenAi location is preferable). Cash only.

If you want to try a Taiwanese-style cake, get a fresh cream cake, strawberry flavor, from Hong Yeh (Red Leaf), at No. 26~5 RenAi Rd. Sec. 3. Since they are mainly a cake shop and not a regular bakery, you may need to order in advance if you want a particular kind of cake.

Just to remind you: The chef of Lotus Garden is no longer employed there, so I can%26#39;t recommend it any longer.

Enjoy the food in Taipei!

haulien trip with Mr lu

hi all

thank u for such great feedback on this forum. i will be travelling to taiwan from 24 till 31 dec.

thank for all the info with mr lu, i have manage to book mr lu to bring me around on 26 and 27 dec. generally how long is his day trip (from what time till wat time)?

cos my mum was planning to book the 1030am tze chiang train from taipei to hualien which mean we will only reach by noon time. also she want to check in to the hotel before heading to the day trip. is it feasible? we are staying at C%26#39;est Jeune hotel.

should i get mr lu to pick me at the train station or at the hotel?

haulien trip with Mr lu

Hi there,

Most cabbie tours start at 10:00~10:30 and end at 5:00~6:00. Do take into consideration when planning that it gets dark at 5PM in the winter months. I think that Mr. Lu would be able to offer you the best advice for your itinerary; you may want to give him a call in the evening, when he%26#39;ll have already finished his day%26#39;s work.

Happy planning~

haulien trip with Mr lu

Hi,

When I was at Hualien 2 weeks ago, we engaged Mr Lu%26#39;s service too. :) Basically he can start any time you want and ends only when you are tired out. For our case, we started the day at 8.30am, after the sumptous breakfast at the minsu and ended the evening about 7pm. As for tranport to and from the train station, its more like a complimentary service since we have him for 2 days. :)

hi thank for the reply... think will try to book a much earlier train to hualien... plan to contact mr lu when i get there (has msg him 2 days ago)

now worried if i can still get tickets online... will have totry tomorrow early morning

Need recommendation on Lu Shan hotspring

Hi,

We will be staying at Cing Jing for 3D2N as part of our travel itinerary end of this Dec. We plan to go to Lu shan for a 2-3hr relaxing hot spring bath during that period.

I would like to seek some advice/recommendation which resort/hot spring location to go for. We prefer to have a private outdoor pool where we can enjoy the scenery as well.

Also, how should we travel from Cing Jing to Lu Shan and roughly how long and how much?

Taichung questions

Hi,

Can I check if I want to go to SML to Fuguangshan in Changhua, how should I go about doing it?

Should I take bus from SML to taichung train station and take train to Changhua? What is the bus that I can take to taichung train station from SML and how long does it take? And do I need to book the train tickets in advance or can I buy it on the day itself? I%26#39;m travelling on 1st of Jan. And how much does it cost?

I read up Fuguangshan is very near from Changhua train station, is there a bus reaching there? Or should I just take a taxi from the train station?

Roughly how long should i cater for Fuguangshan?

Any other interesting areas to cover near Fuguangshan?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you taiwanDIY! Your help is much appreciated!:)

Just another question, if I intend to return to Taipei directly from Pingsi, do I return to Rueifang station to take a train back to Taipei Train Station/Taipei Main Station?

Yes, from Pingsi board the train back to Rueifang Railway Station. Purchase a ticket to board another train heading to Taipei Railway Station.

At Pingsi, you can also board Taipei (台北客運) buses 15 or 16 direct to Taipei.

Taoyuan HSR Station and Taoyuan Railway Station are not located together. They are in two locations.

Taoyuan HSR Station in Taoyuan County is located about 7 km from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA). A bus ride from TTIA to Taoyuan HSR Station takes about 15~20 mins.

Taoyuan Railway Station is located in Taoyuan city (downtown), farther away from TTIA. A bus ride from TTIA to Taoyuan Railway Station takes about 45~55 mins
