No matter how much I tell my friends to get mentally ready for the Lin Heung ‘warzone’ experience, they never really are. If you do not speak Cantonese (or at least pu tong hua), and have no understanding of the dim sum trolley culture – good luck. For popular items like the Cheong Fun and Cha Siu Bao, this is a competition of fastest runner and fastest hands first. Probably one of the 10 things you must experience in Hong Kong if you are a foodie. Too bad it is closing really soon.

Sanyod is one of the most well-known restaurants at the Bangrak district of Bangkok, offering Thai-Cantonese cuisine and attracts regulars and customers from other parts of the city. They come here to try the signature char-grilled Roast Duck marinated with a secret sauce and other tasty Cantonese dishes. It is also awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. The duck at 150 baht (SGD6.50 or USD4.80) comes with part-tender-part-fatty pieces drenched in a sauce with Chinese herbal hint.

Probably the most famous fluffy pancakes from Osaka Japan, Gram Café & Pancakes has arrived in Bangkok right at the popular Siam Paragon. You might have seen videos of Gram’s Pancakes which made their way around social media, of stacks of 3 pancakes being ‘shaken’ on plates. Each 4 cm thick, served with syrup, butter and whipped cream. It is all about the texture – ultra-fluffy, soufflé-like, and melt-in-your-mouth. Very long queue expected, up to an hour or more. It's all about the gram.

The one distinguishing factor about cafes in Taipei, is the calming and peaceful environment, best described as “文青”. I can’t find an English equivalent, but you often find the Taiwanese hanging out with a book at hand, or engaging in quiet conversations – discussing about politics, the arts and gossips. There appears to be a lack of English websites featuring these Taipei cafes as well. Armed with recommendations from friends and Chinese guidebooks, here are 12 cafes to visit in Taipei.

This humble "street food" of Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles won a MICHELIN Star in the Singapore Michelin Guide in 2016, 2017, and 2018. It is also one of the cheapest Michelin meal you can get at SGD6 (about USD4.40). It serves up Teochew style Bak Chor Mee aka minced pork noodles. Here’s the ‘magic’: Al dente springy noodles tossed in a savoury vinegary sauce, filled with tender pork and liver slices, minced pork, dumplings, and a sprinkling of fried sole fish. Very long queue expected.

When people talk about the “Best Beef Noodles in Taipei”, it is usually a toss-up between Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麺館 or Lin Dong Fang Beef Noodles 林東芳牛肉麵. I ordered a bowl of Beef Noodles, at NT$160 - an affordable SGD7 or USD5.20. The light aroma arrived before the bowl, and while the soup looked slightly clear, it was surprisingly flavourful underlying with taste of herbs and spices that didn’t overpower the rest. The stock is said to be cooked over 20 hours, using beef bones and herbs.

The owners of one Michelin-starred Ming Fu were so low profile and “largely uninterested” that they didn’t attend the Michelin ceremony. It is the kind of place you’d probably just walk by and not normally walk into. The most famous dish here is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall 一品佛跳牆, which has been earning rave reviews. As this soup contains real shark fin, you could request the staff to omit it if you don’t eat or prefer not to eat shark fin. Reservation is A MUST.

Golden Flower Toast 金花碳烤吐司專賣 located near the Ximen Red House, enjoys a constant steady queue. The sandwich shop, with a drink of the same brand just a few shops away, serves up interesting flavours more than you can imagine. The mammoth of a sandwich came like a tower, of toasted buttery breads, grilled pork belly, cucumber slices, tomatoes, lettuce, egg, cheese (but of course)… and interesting addition of peanut butter. Be prepared to wait 15 minutes, to even an hour for your sandwich.

Chen San Ding 陳三鼎青蛙鮮奶 has been widely reviewed to be the best brown sugar bubble milk drink in Taipei. While Chen San Ding is widely known to serve “bubble tea”, there is no tea in any of its offerings. The signature drink is called 青蛙撞奶, directly translated to “frog knocking against the milk”. What you get is a cup of boba pearls, caramel, cold milk, with choice of ice. All drinks are affordably priced at NT$40, which works out to be SGD1.80. Cheap and good. bit.ly/chensanding
