It’s about time for another curry night, I think, so here are the details:
When: Saturday 7th August, 7pm
Where: Lion Foot Sri Lankan Restaurant #5, Lane 13, Tianmu West Road
台北市天母西路13想5號
Getting there: [strike]Easiest way is to take the MRT to Jiantan (red line) and then bus or taxi from there (it’s not too far). The restaurant is right near the junction of Zhongshan North Road and Tianmu West/East Road.[/strike]
[quote=“cranky laowai”]I recommend taking the MRT to Shipai. Just across the street to the right of the MRT station is a busstop. Take an R19, R12, or 224. (The 224 is the slowest by about 5 minutes because of a winding route up a side road and down Tianmu North Road; but it’s also more frequent). Get off at the first stop past the intersection (traffic light) of Tianmu North Road and Tianmu West Road.
Or a taxi from Shipai, which should be less than NT$100.[/quote]
I went to this place last night as a test run and the food was excellent - lots of subtle flavours and very filling. The pumpkin curry and the soup were especially great. The laoban knows we’re coming and will put on a special spread, with a few off-menu items and a good number of vegetarian options. Don’t miss this one!

Yeah, I’m not going to be able to make this one, its pre-payday/ me und Frau 500 have summat else on
supposedly

Let me know how it is… I like the idea of finding other countries’ food that could be classed as curry too. I’m sure there must be some killer Malaysian, Thai etc stuff around that we don’t know about.
you don’t know about good thai food here???[/quote]
I know it is here, I just don’t know where. I also wonder if one restaurant could have the variety needed for a “curry night” rather than a “thai night”
I don’t know that Thai fits under my mental umbrella for these events - I had subconsciously limited them to the subcontinent, as Thai, Yunnan, and Japanese curry places are everywhere.
It would be cool though if someone (not me!) could organise a regular monthly dinner, perhaps trying something different each time. Thai, Chinese, French, Mexican etc.
Well that’s definitely out then, we know whose stomping ground THAT is.
Yeah, I can see what you are saying Taffy. Although I could really go for some Jamaican goat curry right now. I doubt we’ll ever see that in Taipei though.
