If you're looking for a great way to try a variety of Taiwanese foods in smaller, more economical portions, try out 台灣小吃 tái wān xiǎo chī. This is a chain that offers a delicious variety of simple foods. (Note: many of the foods have a pretty high amount of garlic flavor, so prepare yourself for bad breath.) It's a good price, too, with the above-pictured meal just 140 NT. In the photo above are the following foods: Rice with meat, meat floss, cucumbers (upper left, "A" on the menu below), meatball soup (lower left, "L" on the menu below), a large bowl of "dry" noodles (bottom right, D2 on the menu), wooden noodles soup (upper right and also pictured below, G2 on the menu), and fried tofu ("S" on the menu, 5NT per piece).
B. Rice with minced soy sauce pork gravy (light, not thick like American gravy)
C. Rice with slices of soy sauce pork
F. Crispy pork with Noodles (usually soup, but can ask for dry)
G. Wide rice noodles with minced pork sauce (like B.) (2 options: dry (top) or with soup(bottom))
H. Vermicelli noodles with minced pork sauce (like B.) (2 options: dry (top) or with soup(bottom))
I. Short pork rib soup
J. Bitter melon short pork rib soup
M. Spinach / Green (usually a favorite)/Bean sprouts
N. Bamboo shoots
O. "lu" Cabbage ("lu" usually means they cook it for a long time, maybe in a slow cooker in soy sauce and spices)
P. Fish (Tilapia)
U. Sliced pork (like C, with no rice.)
Recommended items on the menu include D or E, G, and M2 (green veggies). Try a little of each and find a new favorite!
Directions from MAK: Go into Dashe on the main road (Jhong Shan Rd. 中山路). At the first major intersection (where there is a Hi-Life Convenience Store), go straight. Keep going past the second light, too (with Watsons, 7-11, Family Mart). The shop will be on your left, before you reach the next intersection (with Donutes). Look for a maroon sign and wooden decor. You can pay on your way out, after eating.
Costs: Economical.
