Halal food in Taipei (1)

Another Halal restaurant I just visited in Taiwan, located in Taipei. Direction: From Taipei Main Station take MRT to Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall station (blue line), off to Exit 1, turn left n just go straight, u will find this restaurant at the right side of the street. Looks like a very old place, but the room inside is comfy and they have various menu with affordable price. See my other reviews on Halal food in Taiwan.

Review updated: 02/2014

The first time I visit here, I ordered the house specialty - niurou mian (NT$140) and dumpling (NT$140/portion of 8 pieces). Niurou means beef and mian means noodles in Chinese. There are spicy and savory flavor for beef noodles. I enjoyed the spicy one. I could taste the sensation of spicy beef noodles when I had my first sip. That is, come from the oil and pepper boiled in the soup.

Steemed beef dumpling

At the other days I visit this restaurant, I ordered the same things again and again: beef noodles and dumpling. Until one day I look around at the stranger's table next to us. And that's how I found Chinese pancakes and beef shredded on the menu. The Chinese normally paired Chinese pancakes with beef shredded and wrap them together. And yes, it's goood when you eat it that way.

Some pics of sky lantern festival in Pingxi district

On 6 Feb 2012, we went to Pingxi district to watch sky lantern festival. Pingxi holds an annual Lantern Festival in which lanterns are released in sky. So that was time for us to make our own lantern, together we wrote our wishes on it. Got this festival an interesting event:)

We didn't check the schedule before we go but luckily we got a chance to see it, that was the last day of festival! Anyway..the location is quiet far from Taipei. We reached the place by taking MRT service from Taipei main station to Taipei zoo, continued with shuttle bus to the place, about 50 mins!
