It was time for my last meal in Taipei before flying back to Seoul and then to Melbourne.
I pulled out my trusty map and had a look around the local area and I found a quite well regarded Japanese izakaya maybe 500 metres away, so, without a reservation I decided to chance it and see if I could have a quick meal.

Just across the road from Q Square I found a little coffee shop that does a roaring trade. In the mornings there will be a queue to get in. A testament to the quality of their coffee.

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.
