CNN（7-24-2015）recommands
40 Taiwanese foods that we can't
live without, the picture above
is No.2 food
―
Lin_Dong_Fang beef noodle in Ba-de road,
Taipei. (neighborhood of
the headquarter of
KMT,
Taiwan's ruling political-party

you can
see a long queue in each weekday's
dining time , but,
It
looks bit awful, even it
tastes awesome,
how
do Westerners feel about the
"restaurant"?
another one CNN recommended is
TaoYuan Street Lao Wang beef
noodle, their beef is
sort of pink-colored (look like roast
beef), very tender, and less
salty than Lin Dong-Fang's. |

all you can eat buffet... We still must under no circumstances take

2. Pay attention to: where those food came from, materials

low risky products", and "Taiwan's food safety is nothing but a
