This was my first meal in Taiwan and close to where I was staying. It’s very close to Ximen MRT, despite the literal English translation of the name it’s all about the Goose.
I opted for the plate of smoked goose and the goose noodle. I didn’t detect any real smokiness on the goose but it was full of flavour and succulent. The noodle soup had a nice sheen to it and a nice subtle flavour, thin rice noodles which aren’t my favourite but the added greens freshened things up nicely. Not a bad start to my trip at all.
Very nice! I also enjoyed the young shredded ginger. Never had it so young and tender til Taipei. Liked it so much I bought a few packages from supermarket on the same morning I left.
Mine are below. Restaurant (in Hsinchu, one of the Hakka’s strongholds not far from Taipei) specialises in all things goose. We ate there several times.
