How cool does this place look, though? Old school brilliance right in the North of Taipei just before you head over the river into Shilin. In the mood for some fried rice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delicious from the first bite, to the last. Absolutely worth ordering. It may look a little oily, but it really wasn’t at all. The rice was perfect, there was plenty of egg, and there was plenty of that salty sweet air dried preserved meat<\/a> we all know and love. Would Uncle Roger<\/a> approve? I hope not, as he seems to want MSG on everything, so let’s just hope that this was un-strained and made with the loving hand of a skilled Taiwanese cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see that kimchi <\/a>lurking on the rice? You have to go get that out the fridge by yourself, it doesn’t come on your table and it’s 100% FREE. Get it! It’s spicy, sour, salty, and cannot be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Everything’ special fried rice

Fried rice<\/a> seems to divide people. Spicy? Egg? Corn? Meat? Ketchup? White rice? This ‘everything’ special fried rice certainly didn’t divide the two of us as we ate in complete silence with smiling faces. Why talk when there’s good food going cold with every passing second?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, so this rice was good, but if you pinned me down and forced me to choose betwen this ‘everything’ special fried rice and the preserved meat fried rice above, I would probably go with the preserved meat one…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickled cabbage and intestine soup

The muky colour of these types of soup can often put the weak-stomached off. And, in all honesty, I completely understand. But, if you push yourself past that point you may just be surprised. The intestines in here were juicy and full of flavour, and the pickled cabbage and ginger really helped to cut through the rich pork. Give it a go, at $50, it’s better than many other Taiwanese soups I have had in the past…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
