| - Recently I've had a pretty severe craving for Taiwanese food because I've been living off of pizza and fried chicken these days. (Healthy, I know.) STAY Cafeteria had only a few people inside and a pretty good-lookin' menu outside, so my friend and I decided to go in for lunch.
The interior has a warm vibe and decorated in rustic, mismatched coat hooks along with dangling lights. The waitress spoke to us in mandarin but was able to communicate in English as well, and we ordered a few dishes that arrived relatively quickly. The drinks are too expensive and not worth the price, so we didn't get any of them, but the food itself is pretty delicious! There's only one waitress, and as more and more people came in she got increasingly frazzled but still friendly. (Props to her for surviving waitressing.)
My wonton soup contained a peppery and light broth brimming with wontons. It's a good soup for the colder weather, and I liked the thin slices of eggs inside. The shredded chicken cold noodles are sweet 'n sour and has a summer-fresh taste. It also comes with a boiled egg! The mochi toast is really novel and quite interesting- the thick mochi is squished between two slices of white bread that looks like it's been cooked French-toast style, and the toppings consisted of caramel drizzle, candied pecans and vanilla ice cream. It's already been cut in four for easy serving.
The food comes in a reasonable sized bowl and rather inexpensive. The whole meal came to around ~$25 including tip and tax! It's a good place for a fun hang-out with your friends after class, as a lot of students mill about in here.
