Maya Pizza Tien Mu Review
I am always looking for good pizza in Taiwan, and I’m usually disappointed when I find it - It’s usually bad or expensive (Pizza Hut happens to win both of those awards). Thanks to Hungry in Taipei’s Pizza Page, I have a few more places to try. However, last week I stumbled on Maya Pizza [...]
American Beef
In the last month there has been daily discussion in Taiwan about the recent decision to import US beef. They already import US beef, but previously Taiwan did not allow “high risk” beef to be imported from the USA. High Risk includes ground beef and beef offal (I have no idea what this means, but [...]
The Taiwan Breakfast Sandwich
While I was in the US, every now and then I’d stop by McDonald’s and have a sausage mcmuffin. Back in the day, it was only $1 and it was pretty good start to the day. I thought I would share the Taiwan equivalent with you all.

Summertime Pasta Recipes
The summer in Taiwan is really, really hot and humid. When it’s so hot outside, it’s hard to eat heavy foods. Since Nono and I love to eat pasta we started searching for a few summertime pasta recipes we could make. We found a few recipes that use lemon juice as a base and started [...]
Tea Experiment – Different Cups

Fresh Tomatoes in Taiwan
One of the perks of living on a sub-tropical island is that there’s tons of fruit and vegetables, and lots of them are fairly cheap. Since we got to Taiwan, Nono and I have gotten hooked on cherry tomatoes. We eat them almost every day and they are so cheap! Here you can see them [...]
Favorite #4 – True Baking Creativity
All over Taiwan there are loads of little bakeries that sell all kinds of snacks; great for breakfast, lunch or a quick snack. For almost every coffee or tea shop you find, there’s a bakery nearby, and for about a buck (30 NT) you can get a tasty pastry. Perfect for a metropolitan city where [...]
Pu-erh Tea I Bought in Hong Kong
I got this tea last week while in Hong Kong. I bought it from a company that seemed very reputable, called Sun Sing Tea. They had 2 really nice locations in Hong Kong and a wholesaler somewhere in town. Right now their website has basically no information but I was told a new one is [...]
Cooking Kale
Tea. Tea. Tea.
I’ve been meaning to get a post up about tea for a while now. Tea is something that I am very passionate about, I think it is a great habit to drink tea regularly.
I’ve got a lot of tea links posted on my delicious page, and would like to mention a couple of my favorite [...]
