Review—Little Taipei Little Taipei is a small, newly opened restaurant in downtown East City. Don't be fooled by the plain whitewashed walls and cold metal tables and chairs. The food here is warm, exciting, and very, very delicious. Opened by Gary Lin last October, Little Taipei is East City's first restaurant serving real Taiwanese food. Dishes like minced pork rice, Taiwanese meatballs, the oyster omelet, and the very popular xiaolongbao (steamed soup dumplings) are packed full of taste and character. You won't find all of Taiwan's famous dishes here, however. "We felt that some dishes, like stinky tofu and chicken feet, would just be too strange for most locals," Lin says. "We wanted to give people a taste of Taiwan, but felt it was important to have dishes that we knew local people would enjoy." Lin also serves Taiwan's unique bubble milk tea—sweet milk tea with "bubbles" of chewy tapioca. Finally, a special tip from this writer: for dessert, order the mango shaved ice. It's out of this world!
評價─小台北 「小台北」是東城市區新開張的一家小餐館，別被它素色白牆與冷調的金屬桌椅唬弄，這裡的食物可是令人感到溫暖、期待且十分可口。 小台北是林蓋瑞於去年十月開店，東城第一家擁有道地台灣料理的餐廳。 肉燥飯、肉圓、蚵仔煎以及超受歡迎的小籠包（也就是蒸湯包），皆充滿風味特色。 不過，這裡並未供應台灣所有的知名小吃。 林老闆表示：「我們覺得像臭豆腐或雞腳等小吃，可能會使本地人望之卻步。雖然我們希望讓大家品嚐看看台灣味，但重點在於當地民眾能享受到合他們胃口的菜色。」 林老闆還有賣台灣獨一無二的珍珠奶茶，也就是香甜的奶茶裡，加入狀如珍珠般 的Q彈樹薯球。 最後，作者特別推薦：甜點的部分一定要吃芒果剉冰，簡直是人間美味！ |
