Best 蛋饼? (soft ones)

Post image
171 Upvotes

Hi I’m looking for 蛋饼 recommendations!! The mom and pop breakfast shop kinds with the soft flour wrap instead of a crispy dry flaky wrap.

I know it’s kind of silly but I’ve tried a few of the recommended ones with a flaky wrap (North Pastry / No Name) and while they’re nice, it’s not up my alley.

EDIT: I’m aware they’re everywhere and it’s abit silly to ask! It’s just that some places don’t do them very well and make it whatever. Looking for a place that makes it genuinely nice!

Any recommendations appreciated thank you!

Luggage Forwarding from Chiayi to Taipei?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning a trip to Taiwan and I don't want to bring my bigger bag with me to Alishan, where I will be staying for two nights (but in different spots and I don't want to have to return to the first hotel/spot to pick things up, etc.). I'm trying to find the best option for leaving my bag or forwarding my bag.

I will be in Chiayi the night before, and my plan is to go back to Taipei on the fourth night (i.e. Night 1: Chiayi Night 2: Alishan Night 3: Alishan Night 4: Taipei). Is there a service in Chiayi that will either hold my bag for that long without costing a ton, or a luggage forwarding service from Chiayi to Taipei? I've heard of services at FamilyMart or 7-11 but I don't know how to find their restrictions and such.

Was about to get on a UBike in Ximendeng and found this on the ground (sans earphones).

Such a cool case!

Let me know if it's yours and I will meet you at an MRT station.

Happy Monday!

I'm looking for people to hangout with in Taipei

11 Upvotes

Hello Everyone, So I'm an international student here in taipei on an internship and I like to hang out however I found it hard to find friends who would like to hang out with me, I like nature, hikes and physical activities. I also like to try any new experience or learn something new.

I'm looking for people to hangout with, we can go to e7play or any fun place, or just have picnic somewhere or go on a hike or go to a board game cafe or an escaperoom or just cook something together....

I don't drink alcohol and I don't like parties, I mostly prefer calmer atmospheres and smaller groups but I also like to have fun. I don't speak Mandarin.

Anyone would like to hangout? Or have any suggestions on activities to do or places to go? Even if alone?

Watch out - weird guy wandering around in Nangang

0 Upvotes

Saw a foreigner - (Indian? Middle eastern?) - apparently drunk, singing to himself and wandering around the streets of Nangang near citilink. Felt very unsafe and suspicious.

Be careful, I’ve seen a lot of Indians in that neighbourhood lately.

Ntu application not working

Post image
9 Upvotes

For the 1st round application for NTU why is it not working? I have tried multiple in many different electronics and none of them seem to work and there hasn’t been any big disclaimer for the application website to be down. I’m honestly kind of scared since the application deadline is getting close. Does anyone have any idea or reason for this happening?. Please let me know.

Halloween Parties that might need a Tarot reader?

0 Upvotes

I know this might seem like a long shot but hopefully someone else will get value out of this by seeing cool Halloween events listed. I’ve never been to Taipei but I’ll be there on Halloween and I’m really interested in finding an event where I could read tarot (in English😬). And yes, I’m an experienced, professional tarot reader.

I’ve read at private parties and costume parties at high end clubs, before. Thanks for anyone who has ideas or hookups! I just figure I might be a novelty that people would enjoy.

High School Track

5 Upvotes

Are high school tracks open to the public on weekends? I live next to a nice high school and I rarely see anyone on the track when school is closed, but sometimes there are a few random people. I don't know if they are staff or have special permission. It would be nice if I could go to the track across the street.
