Kitchen Notes and Taiwan: Food Heaven in Taipei

Finally, a little respect and acknowledgement! The New York Times has a new article focused on food in Taipei. That food is flat-out awesome, and I'll quote the American reporter too:

. . . food is one arena where Taipei — the world’s most underrated capital city, according to Monocle magazine — blows Beijing away. Its food incorporates more influences, spans street food to haute cuisine with greater aplomb and is out and out more delicious than that of its mainland counterpart.

Heck, YEAH! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Beijing! Anyway, gentle reader, do read the whole article and see why my Sibling and I eat ourselves into food comas every time we visit "the Old Country."

Oh, and be sure to check out the slideshow too.
