I have a funny story to tell about our Taipei restaurant reservations! We got restaurant recommendations from our friend Ning with specific locations given but apparently, our concierge did not follow and booked us in restaurants and branches we did not specify! This happened twice! I am so upset that now I have to go back to Taipei and go to the right ones haha!!!
Ning recommended we go to this branch of Shin Yeh since there are many in Taipei
Also as a reminder – when you get a recommendation, ask for what dishes to order. This was Ning’s recommendation which we got already after. And in Taipei Chinese characters help because most of them don’t speak English. That was one of the difficulties we had
But we went to this location – the original branch which was also good. We just did not know what to order 🙁 since no one did research including me :-O

Fried rice with tender beef was YUM! #shinyehtaipei #H2HTaiwan Buddha Jumping over the wall soup! We made a mistake – it was not good haha!! The dish was recommended in another restaurant and not here 🙂 I feel bad because we ordered several and it was not cheap 🙁 Crispy fried anchovy peanut with conpoy – YUM! Deep fried shrimp petites coated with breadcrumbs – YUM! Crispy fried conpoy, potato and leafy vegetables in romaine lettuce – YUM! All the fried were good! #shinyehtaipei #H2HTaiwan Traditional Taiwanese Sausage I don’t have the names of these dishes 🙁 Sorry Steamed garoupa Golden King Prawn wrapped with fills pastry – YUM!
