I been to Taipei Station twice already since it opened 2 weeks ago, once for Lunch Specials and the other time Afternoon Tea Specials.
The menu is quite interesting and extensive. Not too many places that have menu that give me that urge thinking I want to try this, and that and I need to come back for this.
Lunch Specials Southern Taiwanese Beef Noodle Set with Green Tea Latte ($5.49) was nicely done. It is not the spicy Taiwanese Beef Noodle, the broth is flavoured but can be a little plain. The yellow noodle was cooked al dente with a great bite. The drink was really milky just with a little hint of green tea, but is the regular size which made this lunch set a great value.
All the staff was really friendly and even go over the menu with me when I have some question about the shaved ice dessert and even gave me a free sample of their Fresh Milk Shaved Ice with Mango bubble.
Afternoon Tea Set Braised Pork with egg and rice and drink ($3.99) was no bad, but I found that the pork was a little rubbery and chewy maybe because it was too lean? My Lychee Black tea was refreshingly good.
I will definitely be back for their shaved ice and other authentic Taiwanese desserts.... oh maybe some black pig blood cake?!
