Already overwhelmed with the search and the options. Any suggestions? Dine-in, not take-home. Buffet with alcohol would be ideal (my Thanksgiving away from home when I lived in China was a buffet at a brewery – it was a good time). If not, that’s okay. Interested in a range of prices. Please let me know your experiences!
(For the curious, I have been looking at Carnegie’s, Amba, Pig and Pepper. The Grand Hyatt is intriguing but probably way too expensive…)
When we ate meat, we got ours from RT Mart one year, and from the Sheraton hotel the next year. The RT Mart meal was akin to eating a dinner that you arrived several hours late to. It came in a foam box with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, hot dogs, sausages, and…corn. The Sheraton was more “take home” friendly. More fresh. Similar except the hot dogs and corn, and came with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, and a bottle of ok-ish wine. I think both cost around NT$3000 to NT$4000.
If you are really adventurous, and if it is a viable option, Costco has Turkeys this time a year, I think they were NT$50/kg or so. You can go to Jasons or City Super for the remaining accouterments. Or, DIY that, too.
Alright, my friends and I are going to give On Tap a try. Seems like the right vibe for us. Not a buffet, but the pumpkin beer was a selling point. Will report back if I remember to do so.
Hello! We have an ayce thanksgiving dinner and will have a christmas dinner as well but we’re located in Tainan. If any of you guys are ever down here come check us out!
A little background: our restaurant is called FACTORY 共嚐美式料理坊 and my brother, husband, and I were all born and raised in California. My husband has 15 years of cooking experience and we wanted to bring some American flavors to Tainan. My family lives in Tainan which is why we didn’t open it in Taipei.
