The travel from Leofoo Village was long since it was located far away from Taipei City.  We were like sooooooo hungry already because it was 9PM and we haven’t eaten dinner yet.  So while we were on our way to Shilin Night Market, we dropped by 怡客咖啡 Ikari Coffee to have dinner.

One thing that I noticed while in Taiwan is that their coffee shops serve good food.  In the Philippines, it’s just bread, cakes & coffee.  In Taiwan, the coffee shop is a restaurant of its own.  Ikari Coffee is one of the most popular coffee shops in Taiwan and I guess I know why.  Their food is yummy!  I loved my order.

The whole process of ordering was also quite admirable!  We ordered at the counter, we paid, we were then given this red thingy that will light up when our order was ready.  We’ll then need to go back to the counter, get our order and give the red thingy back.  Since it was all new to me, I found the red thingy when it lit up like christmas lights to be too cute and entertaining!! hahaha!  I also felt that what they made improved the efficiency for everyone.

Here are what we ordered:

• Yakiniku Sub-Sandwich (90NT)

• Yakiniku Rice (118NT)

• Fish Fillet with Salsa Sauce (138NT)

• Milano Roasted Chicken Drumstick (138NT)

They had a promo where you could add 45 for a drink, 60 for a drink & soup (which was yummy!) and 75 for drink, soup & dessert.  I didn’t like the dessert of the day so I ordered pumpkin soup with drink and both were just delicious!

After visiting the awesome observatory of Taipei 101, we went down to the basement to try out their foodcourt.  There were lots of choices: japanese, chinese & western food.  They were all very tempting but we only have one stomach to fill right?

Can you guess what I ate?  I opted for chinese ofcourse!  What’s the point of visiting a foreign country if we don’t eat their own specialty food?

I was choosing between  æ—­æˆæ¸¯å¼æ–™ç† & the famous noodle brand who has their own stall in Taipei 101.  I opted for æ—­æˆ as they are a bit cheaper and I’m already on a budget since I spent so much already during the course of my 10-day Taiwan trip.

Here are what we ordered:

• Grilled Squid Meal Set (150NT)

Grilled squid with some meat and tofu on the side served with sunny side up egg, soup and rice.  hayyyyy YUMMY!  Would you believe I can still taste it while I’m writing this? hahaha.  Kidding aside, if you guys are in Taipei 101, order this.  It was really good! 🙂  I had to share this meal with my colleague as the serving is also good for 2.

• Pork Noodles (100NT)

My 3 other colleagues ordered the same kind of noodles.  I guess it was the most appealing among all the noodle choices (seafood, pork, beef). The bowl was huge!!! I don’t think I could finish that alone.

The food serving was generous.  I even shared the meal set with my colleague.  It was super worth it and super yummy too!  The pictures can already prove how delicious they were.

This was our last lunch during our Taiwan trip.  I felt really sad that time coz the scenery was good and the food was great.  I just can’t find something like what they were offering in the Philippines.  And oh, that’s not to say, Filipino food is not to die for!

More pictures from our lunch here.

Taipei 101 is such a great place to hang out with shops, food, offices & scenery.  It’s an all-in-one place.  There’s really nothing else you could hope for.

Modern Toilet
台北市萬華區西寧南路50卷7號2樓

Would you eat food that was served in a mini toilet bowl?  Would you drink from a urinal?  The dinner that we ate at Modern Toilet Restaurant in Taipei was our most memorable one from our Taipei trip!  I guess that’s because the concept of Modern Toilet is very unique, cute and something we cannot forget!

To be honest, I totally forgot that we were hungry because I was too busy appreciating the design of Modern Toilet Restaurant.  The chairs were specifically designed toilet bowl.  The table was a shower with bathtub that was covered in glass.

Then it hit me, if their restaurant is designed to look like a toilet, what would their washroom look like?  I later found out that their faucet was actually a toilet bowl that had a water faucet attached to it!

All that was a signal that Modern Toilet Restaurant is an interesting & innovative place! 🙂  Considering that this restaurant is a totally unique concept, I was thinking that it might cost us a lot.  Looking at their menu, the price are very reasonable.  It was affordable for all of us!

Here are what we ordered:

• Modern Toilet Chicken Curry (190NT)

Do you see that thingy that looks like “shit”?  Guess what?  It’s the appetizer which was some vegetable.

• German Smoked Chicken with Cream Sauce (200NT)

• Modern Toilet Combination Hotpot (260NT)

We ordered beef hotpot though we could have ordered pork (w/c was cheaper by 10NT) or seafood (290NT).  I remember that the taste was nice, I was really so distracted with how they presented the food hahaha!  Such a delight to eat food in toilet bowls 😛

• Italian Chicken with Tomato Sauce (200NT)

• Marton Number 2 (100NT)

The is the Ultimate Modern Toilet dessert.  It was strawberry flavored ice with lots, lots, and loooots of ingredients put into it.  I guess this is their own version of “halo-halo”.

I loved it!  Notice that the ice cream is almost always better shaped like “shit” hehehehe.  Marton Number 2 is best for sharing. Unforgettable!

Those spaghetti & hotpot meals had dessert & drink included.  We also had the option to take home this urinal container for our drinks for only 30NT! hahaha  Guess what?  All of us bought one! 🙂
