Exit 6 of Taipei Ximen metro station to enter Xi Men Ding - the young fashions district in Taipei. Many students love to shop there. I have also noted down the places to go in xi meng ding. They are Ah Zong Mee Sua, SOPHiSCA and Modern Toilet Restaurant.

Typical streets at Xi Men Ding 西门町

First stop - 阿宗面线

阿宗面线

Seriously, this is the best mee sua I ever had in my life. It was so silky and chilli was so good! Sadly we only had it once the whole trip. I hope it 发扬光大 (expand internationally) to Singapore. Okay, maybe not. Then will not as special anymore (like SOPHiSCA :x).

Ah Zong mee sua ! I am so craving for it right now. It's soooo silky..

SOPHiSCA

Recently I just found out that it has opened a branch at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3. ~.~

Last stop - Modern Toilet Restaurant 便所主题餐厅

Had this couple of times though the food was not very fantastic but we always go for the atmosphere and experience. We were asked to put down our number as the waiting time was 1 hour ~.~ We saw many Singaporean there too. So remember to make reservation first then continue shopping nearby.

Customers will be sitting on a toilet bowl and having meals on a bath tub. Foods will be served in mini toilet bowls, bath tubs and urinals.

Atmosphere 100%
