As I was walking around Tamsui I spotted a small Pho shop and decided that I wanted to have lunch there.
Translating the Chinese name gives me Mei Xiang Beef Pho, I hope this is right!

I decided to venture out of Taipei and head to an area called Tamsui, specifically I wanted to see what Tamsui Old Street was like.
It takes about 50 minutes on the train from Taipei Main Station on the Tamsui-Xinyi line.
I arrived and had a quick walk around the waterfront and then headed to Tamsui Old Street which is an old fashioned market street that was busy with locals doing their shopping.
As I was walking back to the station area I saw a small little cafe and decided to go in rather than to the nearby Starbucks (yuck!).

On the way back to my hotel I was on the hunt for some food. I ventured into Q Square and upto the 4th floor and did a lap to see what was on offer and if there were tables available. I eventually decided on Yakitori Express.

BeerCat is an interesting place. It’s a small bar that has a decent beer selection, and there are two resident cats who sit near the bar and do what cats do, sleep.

In the morning I jumped on the train to head out to Taipei 101 to visit the observatory there. On the trip east I noticed that we went past the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall so took a mental note to hop off the train on my return trip to visit.
It was around lunchtime when I arrived so headed into the National Theater Hall to see what the food options were and found a small place called Scenery Books & Cafe.
