But, when it arrives on your plate looking like something completely different, or it just smells like something you won&#8217;t enjoy, then it&#8217;s time to up your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif aligncenter\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:55%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/vNoxkHpjC8tSolrz1i\" title=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/vNoxkHpjC8tSolrz1i\/giphy.gif\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-caption gallery-caption\">Trying not to screw your face up at that bowl of disgustingness that just didn&#8217;t look like it did on the menu?<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"but-how\">But how?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Well, if you have a few months, a bit of money, and a lot of energy to spare, then I would recommend <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mtc.ntnu.edu.tw\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\">ShiDa&#8217;s Mandarin Training Center<\/a> &#8211; I had a great 3 semesters there, and learnt loads. But, it isn&#8217;t for everyone, and that&#8217;s fine. So, now that I have been there, done that, and flexed my Mandarin muscles, let me help you guys out, by helping you in a few basics of how to order food around Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-going-in-to-the-restaurant\">1. <strong>Going in to the restaurant<\/strong>.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, you&#8217;ve seen a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eatingintaipei.com\" target=\"_blank\">restaurant you like<\/a>, because you&#8217;re a fan of this site. You&#8217;re off to a good start. But, you&#8217;ve arrived and you don&#8217;t know what to do:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Scenario 1<\/strong> &#8211; <em>There&#8217;s a line<\/em>, but you don&#8217;t know whether to first take a number, or to just get in line. If you get in line but you don&#8217;t take a number, then you&#8217;re lining up for nothing. So, best thing to do is to just ask the person at the back of the line: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u5185\u7528\u9700\u8981\u6392\u968a\u55ce-nei-yong-xu-yao-pai-dui-ma\">\u5185\u7528\u9700\u8981\u6392\u968a\u55ce\uff1fN\u00e8i y\u00f2ng x\u016b y\u00e0o p\u00e1i du\u00ec ma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This translates as: To eat in, do I need to line up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A swift nod of the head or a point inside will probably do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Scenario 2<\/strong> &#8211; There&#8217;s no line and you&#8217;re feeling great, so you walk in and all of a sudden you&#8217;re confronted with a front-of-house who is just speaking too quickly for you to decipher. Simply say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u5185\u7528-number-\u4f4d-nei-yong-number-wei\">\u5185\u7528( number)\u4f4d &#8211; N\u00e8i y\u00f2ng (number) w\u00e8i<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This translates as: (number) to eat in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This may seem rude, and you may want to add a please or a thank you, but it simply isn&#8217;t neccesary, or even expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">At this point you&#8217;ll either be told something like:<br><strong>\u9019\u908a\u8acb zh\u00e8 bi\u0101n q\u01d0ng<\/strong> (this way, please) or <strong>\u7a0d\u7b49\u4e00\u4e0bsh\u0101o d\u011bng y\u012b xi\u00e0<\/strong> (please wait a moment)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re shown to your table, then a quick thank you is always a win, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scenario 3<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s closed.

But can you read it? No problem. Let&#8217;s take a look at some examples of phrases\/words that may be on the sign, below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Days of the week:<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e00 Monday<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e8c Tuesday<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e09 Wednesday<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u56db Thursday <br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e94 Friday <br>\u79ae\u62dc\u516d Saturday<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u65e5\/\u5929 Sunday<br>\u516c\u4f11 or \u4f11\u606f &#8211; closed<br>You&#8217;re most likely to find that places close on a Monday or a Wednesday, therefore expect to see something like:<br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e00\u516c\u4f11\/\u4f11\u606f &#8216;Closed on Monday&#8217; <br><strong>or <\/strong><br>\u79ae\u62dc\u4e09\u516c\u4f11\/\u4f11\u606f &#8216;Closed on Wednesday&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-ordering\">2. <strong>Ordering.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I get nervous ordering now, in all honesty. There are some times when you sit down and it&#8217;s food you&#8217;ve not ordered before, or the restaurant is so busy that they don&#8217;t have time to humour the dilly dallying foreigner who&#8217;s speaking in broken Chinese. Have no fear, here are some tips:<br><strong>To call the waiter\/waitress over<\/strong>: A simple wave of the hand is often all that&#8217;s needed. Taiwanese aren&#8217;t neccesarily about shouting and ordering the server around as may be the custom in other places&#8230;<br><strong>Reading the menu<\/strong>:<br>By far the most difficult part. Reading the menu can, without a doubt, be a stress-inducing experience. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"menu-example\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eatingintaipei.com\/staging\/5148\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/taipei-resteraunt-ah-ren-fried-rice-menu.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13231\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Taking a look at this menu, it&#8217;s broken up into 5 parts:<br>\u7092\u98ef\u985eCh\u01ceof\u00e0n l\u00e8i &#8211; Fried Rice<br>\u7092\u9eb5\u985ech\u01ceomi\u00e0n l\u00e8i &#8211; Fried Noodles<br>\u6e6f\u9eb5\u985et\u0101ngmi\u00e0n l\u00e8i &#8211; Noodle Soup<br>\u6e6f\u985et\u0101ng l\u00e8i &#8211; Soup<br>\u71b1\u7092\u985er\u00e8 ch\u01ceo l\u00e8i &#8211; Stir-fried<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I feel like this is quite typical of a lot of Taiwanese restaurants. While thay may not be specifically sectioned off like in the <a href=\"#menu-example\"><strong>menu above<\/strong><\/a>, they are highly likely to have all of these types of dishes on a menu somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">So, you&#8217;ve identified if you want rice, noodles, soup noodles, soup, or a stir-fried dish. Next thing to identify is the <strong>meat <\/strong>you want:<br>\u725b\u8089 ni\u00fa r\u00f2u &#8211; Beef<br>\u8c6c\u8089 zh\u016b r\u00f2u &#8211; Pork<br>\u9dc4\u8089 j\u012b r\u00f2u &#8211; Chicken<br>\u7f8a\u8089 y\u00e1ng r\u00f2u &#8211; Lamb<br>\u9d28\u8089 y\u0101 r\u00f2u &#8211; Duck<br>\u9d5d\u8089 \u00e9 r\u00f2u &#8211; Goose<br>\u9b5a y\u00fa &#8211; Fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But wait, the waiter\/waitress has just thrown a spanner in the works. You ordered some sort of soup noodles, and they&#8217;ve asked you something you&#8217;ve not understood\/anticipated:<br><strong><em>\u4f60\u60f3\u5403\u4ec0\u9ebd\u9eb5\u5462? n\u01d0 xi\u01ceng ch\u012b sh\u00e9n me mi\u00e0n ne?<br>What type of noodles do you want with it?<\/em><\/strong><br>Looking a the<strong> <a href=\"#menu-example\">menu above<\/a><\/strong>, there are 3 types of noodle on offer:<br>\u70cf\u9f8d\u9eb5 w\u016b l\u00f3ng mi\u00e0n &#8211; Udon Noodles<br>\u6cb9\u9eb5 y\u00f3u mi\u00e0n &#8211; Oily noodles<br>\u767d\u9eb5 b\u00e1imi\u00e0n &#8211; Plain noodles<br><br>But there are way more types that could be on offer:<br>\u9eb5\u7dda mi\u00e0n xi\u00e0n &#8211; rice noodles\/vermicelli<br>\u5bec\u9eb5 ku\u0101n mi\u00e0n &#8211; wide noodles<br>\u7d30\u9eb5 x\u00ec mi\u00e0n &#8211; thin noodles<br>\u677f\u689d b\u01cen ti\u00e1o &#8211; thick, chewy noodles<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ifoodie.tw\/explore\/%E5%8F%B0%E5%8C%97%E5%B8%82\/list\/%E5%88%80%E5%89%8A%E9%BA%B5\" target=\"_blank\">\u5200\u524a\u9eb5 <\/a>d\u0101o xi\u0101o mi\u00e0n &#8211; thick noodles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">My favourite noodle dish? <br>\u725b\u8089\u9eb5 (\u5200\u524a\u9eb5) ni\u00far\u00f2u mi\u00e0n (d\u0101oxi\u0101omi\u00e0n)<br>Beef Noodle soup with thick noodles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>When the waiter\/waitess arrives at your table:<\/strong><br>\u6211\u60f3\u8981\u9ede\u9910 w\u01d2 xi\u01ceng y\u00e0o di\u01cen c\u0101n &#8211; I am ready to order<br>This isn&#8217;t 100% neccesary, but I feel like it&#8217;s a more polite way to get into ordering, rather than just barking out your order.<br>From there, go head and order to the best of your ability. Most Taiwanese are very nice and polite, and I am sure they will be accomodating of you. Pointing at the items on the menu is acceptable, but <a href=\"#Take-a-look-at-the-menu\"><strong>using the information above will help you<\/strong><\/a> to know more about what you are going to be ordering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-you-re-finished\">3. <strong>You&#8217;re finished.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So you&#8217;ve finished your meal, and you&#8217;re getting ready to pay. What do you do next?<br><br>This took me some getting used to in Taiwan. In the UK, you often ask for the bill at the table, then pay from your table. However, more common practice in Taiwan is to go up and pay at the cash register.<br><br>Scenario 1 &#8211; at some places you have to pay before you eat. So it&#8217;s always a good idea when you&#8217;ve ticked what you want on the menu to ask:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>\u8acb\u554f\u662f\u5148\u8cb7\u55ae\u55ce\uff1fq\u01d0ng w\u00e8n sh\u00ec xi\u0101n m\u01ce id\u0101n ma?<br>Should I pay first?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><br>Scenario 2 &#8211; Your bill is already on your table. Just take it up to the register and pay as you would normally.<br><br>Scenario 2 &#8211; Your bill isn&#8217;t at the table yet, so you need to ask for it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u6211\u8981\u8cb7\u55ae-w\u01d2-yao-m\u01cei-dan-i-want-the-bill\">\u6211\u8981\u8cb7\u55ae w\u01d2 y\u00e0o m\u01cei d\u0101n &#8211; I want the bill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Now, let&#8217;s talk about politness once again. Shouting out \u8cb7\u55ae seems relatively acceptable here, but I don&#8217;t like it. I don&#8217;t know whether it is all in my head or not, but adding that \u6211\u8981 onto the front just negates some of the rudeness I feel when settling the bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve got you bill at the table, just take it up and settle at the register. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I&#8217;m British. I am polite, and I pride myself on being polite. I will often use thank you&#8217;s and please&#8217;s when using Chinese. Whilst it isn&#8217;t necceary, I feel like it&#8217;s part of British culture that I will perhaps never lose, and I am OK with that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this post, and that this has helped you to feel a little more confident when getting ready to go to a restaurant, reading the menu, ordering, and settling the bill.
