Don't know how I missed this great TR! Terrific read, and I will now be looking at Taipei as a foodie destination (who knew?!).
Is it just me, or do quite a lot of your pix have a pink tinge to them? A lot of what I'd expect to be white is coming out in pink or beige, and the blues seem a little strange too. Maybe it's intentional touching-up in Paintshop?
