So we decided just to order Uber Eats to our hotel room as we are old, lazy and boring. @lostinasia wins the recommendation sweepstakes, as I’m going to order a sandwich from that Liquid Bread place. There’s literally no good sandwich joints in Kaohsiung (seriously… your choices are Subway or the slightly better Subway that’s farther away). His prize? The solution button!
It’s like 10 minutes away. Really close.
What do you consider mid-range?
For me, stuff like Din Tai Fung, TGIF is mid-range… mid-range price, mid-range quality, etc.
Haven’t been there in at least a year.
Back in the day, when they were just starting out, they were great. When they started expanding, their service dropped off a cliff and their menu too.
Food quality took a hit as well.
It used to be my go to place. Gone are the days when their really nice owner, Amy, would come chat with you for a while, ask how they can improve, etc.
Oh no … if there’s one thing the work-from-home months and UberEats have taught me, it’s that delivered food tastes a lot worse than almost anything eaten in a restaurant.
I wondered if it was for today. The rain makes going out a heck of a lot less appealing. It was amusing looking for a couple of the restaurants on Google Maps: lots of “less busy than usual” indicators.
30 minutes by MRT, or 20 minutes by taxi. If that’s really close, so is basically everything in the downtown area.
Ooof too late. Already ordered. I’m sure it’ll be fine though.
Which ones did you order? I usually get the patty melt. I had the pastrami once but that made my stomach hurt a bit (not blaming the restaurant - I just assumed I was pastrami-intolerant).
I had to get the pastrami since I’m a New Yorker (it was between that and the Carnitas). It was good, but it was no Katz lol.
4th floor in Taipei 101. Every time I went I saw some foreigners.
Log in or Sign up to View must be a big chain at this stage. See it everywhere.
So annoying, and yet another reason to dislike what Facebook has done to the internet.
EDIT: Honest tech question: if someone is logged into Facebook, do they see a link with the restaurant name, or do they see the same “Log in” prompt that I see in Gain’s post above? (I have a Facebook account but deliberately changed my password a few years ago and haven’t logged in since.)
How did you know they were foreigners?
I assume @Gain means westerners, and it’s pretty easy to distinguish a white dude from an Asian dude last I checked.
No, actually, he said foreigners.
Yes, he did, but I’m reasonably sure he was using it as another term for westerners. Even if he meant people of SE Asian origin or Japanese/Korean, pretty easy to tell by language/fashion, even looks sometimes. I think people sometimes dump on @Gain for stuff they wouldn’t give other posters shit about.
Because they weren’t aboriginal or Han?
I just checked the facebook developer docs and it said only ‘public’ content can be embedded. So I suspect all of these business pages are enforced as private, as I can’t remember ever not having to log in to view a business page.
They were white?
I do like La Piola a lot.
NOLA is a decent choice. Nice atmosphere and the food hits the spot when you are looking for something a little different.
Everywhere Burger is very good if you can get a seat.
Tajin Moroccan Cuisine. Excellent dishes and not the usual fare.
