I was off on my first holiday since going to Europe in 2019 (Thanks COVID!).
I decided to head to Seoul in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan, spending a week in each.

Just inside Zhongshan Market is a small beef noodle shop that I stumbled upon. Its a small shop run by an old gentlemen with seats for maybe 15 people inside and a couple more outside.

Palais de Chine, Taipei, Taiwan
I’d made a last minute decision to change hotels after working out it’d be difficult to get around where I was originally staying.
As I was looking for my new hotel, Palais de Chine popped up. You can’t fault the location. Just across the road from Taipei Main Station, and a 7 minute walk to the airport railway station. It’s in the same building as the Q Square shopping centre. The hotel occupies the higher floors.
As a bonus, while I was searching, there was a special deal for the hotel that gave me free breakfasts!

Izakaya Kokomi, Taipei, Taiwan
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.

Twin Brothers Coffee, Taipei, Taiwan
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.
