We had to wait a little while for a table (20mins or so) because Lifemoun is fairly small inside.

The sandwich menu at Lifemoun is up on the blackboard, but the menu below is easier to read and in English, too.

This baby is thick! The tea was a delicious accompaniment to my breakfast.

Generous helpings of pork floss, soft egg, flavours of peanut butter and cheese all come through well in this sandwich. The pork floss was fresh and not chewy at all. The egg was delicious and the flavours all sang really well – impressive.

The egg at Lifemoun is so thick in this! The pork was well cooked and not dry.

Each slice of bread is toasted over the charcoals in the restaurant itself. Which is quite special in that I haven’t seen this done before.

It’s juicy and each ingredient tastes fresh and packs a punch of flavour.
 

Overall, I can safely say that this place and the one behind NanMen Market 南門市場 are places that immediately come to mind when craving a good sandwich in Taipei. However, I think this place has the edge by using what feels like higher quality ingredients.
