Taiwan: Fried Rice/Noodle Stand
Originally, we wanted to hit up this incredible-looking sashimi restaurant. Unfortunately, after the long MRT ride, the long bus ride, and the long walk...we arrived to find that the restaurant was closed. Later I found out that the restaurant is closed on Mondays. Boo.
We were basically stranded in the middle of nowhere, surrounded only by car repair shops. We got to a bus stop and buses kept passing us by as we tried to figure out which bus to take. Finally, I decided to leave our fate to God and we jumped on the next bus that pulled up. When we started to see food options, we got off at a random stop.
This is what we found:
This stand basically sold fried rice, chow mein, and chow fun. You can choose which meat you want.
We started out with the squid:
The squid was chewy in a good way, the ginger provided a fresh burst of flavor, and the sauce was nice and sour with just a bit of a kick.
We also ordered the lamb chow fun:
We originally only ordered two dishes but it didn't look like it would be enough between the 3 of us, so we added a lamb fried rice:
What can I say? I love lamb. So does my sister. We were happy.
God was really looking out for us. We didn't get sashimi, but we did get lamb and after dinner we crossed the street to Meet Fresh, which my sister loves as much as I do. We had been talking about going to Meet Fresh since the moment she arrived in Taipei and I'd already mapped out the ones closest to us. Totally didn't expect to find a Meet Fresh when we randomly got off a random bus in Neihu. Thank you, Lord.
