PART 04 - Traveling around the… table - marvelous exotic food in Tainan
Everybody knows Tainan is famous for unlimited number of snacks, night markets and traditional, special Tainan foods. But, what if somehow you want to take a break from that and want to try something truly exotic? Do you need to go to the airport and fly to another country? Well, that’s an option. But, don’t worry - there’s no need to look for your passport if you’re already in Tainan. Why? Because there are lots of mouth-watering dishes waiting for you right here in Tainan. Together we can explore a few of them. So are you ready?
Option number one: How about some Indian food?
瑪哈印度餐廳Maharaja Indian Restaurant
From time to time I crave some Indian food, and Maharaja is a good option. They have decorations that transports you to an Indian Palace, they play Bollywood music videos in the background and they have a solid menu - from Indian curries, kebabs, naan (Indian bread you can soak in sauces) and also typical drinks (mango lassi, Indian spiced teas. They also have starters, for example samosas - Indian fried dumplings. The food is really good, I got my favorite dishes including: palak paneer - spinach and cottage cheese sauce, chicken tikka masala, yellow masala lamb curry, chicken kebabs and more. All these delicious dishes were nicely washed with a mango lassi - Indian style of yogurt. Gotta admit - I loved it.
Option number two: Are you craving for some good Japanese food? Great - I have an excellent place just for you.
兩斤家廚房1.2KG Kitchen
Roasted beef steak, Pork fillet, Japanese bbq beef, cheese donburi, Japanese fried chicken (the difference between Taiwanese and Japanese style is that the one from Japan is juicier, Taiwanese style is usually crispier). You can also find hot pots and other dishes at 1.2KG. I love all the dishes - especially the steak.. I am usually a bit sceptical before ordering cheese in restaurants in Taiwan, but the bbq cheese donburi was truly delicious - hands down.
Apart from the tasty dishes, the interior of the restaurant is really stylish and the ambiance is great. You can really feel that the owner put lots of effort into it. You can take lots of great shots if you bring your camera along. The decoration is a bit of a fusion between Japanese and European styles. It feels really good :)
Option number three: Would you like to try the most famous south east asian cuisine here in Tainan? Let’s go Thai then!
泰味食足A Taste of Thailand
The place is well decorated and a cute elephant statue welcomes you from the street. I am always happy to eat some Thai food, and this restaurant made me happy as well.
Usually when I go to Thai restaurants I order my favorite meals: stir-fried spicy minced beef, shrimp pancake and green curry. They also have quite a selection of seafood dishes, steamed fish and steamed shrimps. I started with green papaya salad - it’s a healthy crispy dish full of veggies and unripe papaya. Yummy! Apart from that I tried the rest and I must say all were really good - but the spicy minced beef remains my favorite. If you are in Shanhua this restaurant is definitely a place to visit!
How about some dessert?
光芒果子.小旅行 義式冰淇淋Sunny Mango Gelato
Yujing district of Tainan is mostly famous for its mangoes. But there is way more to discover in that area. Apart from the gorgeous views you can also visit Yujing Old Street. One of the highlights of that place is a real gelato shop.
What is gelato? It’s Italian word that means “frozen” but most commonly it’s known as Italian ice cream. The difference between gelato and ice cream is very subtle - basically gelato is more icy and thick, ice cream is more creamy and soft. There is quite a selection of flavors - from classic ones (fruit, chocolate) to very special flavors (Sun Moon Lake tea, Taiwan beer flavor). Also, I believe the flavors change from time to time, so each time you come you can get some surprises. My favorite gelato was passion fruit, mango and sesame. But let’s be honest - everybody likes a different flavor, so the only way to find out which is your favorite is…. going to Sunny Mango Gelato!
Feel free to ask any questions that you have, feel free to share and tag friends that haven’t been to Tainan before or recently, and need to go there with you and… and…. and make sure you stay tuned because there are more stories coming soon!

About Dark Michelin
You may ask why we founded this page in the first place.
The reason is, we’d like to introduce the real local good foods to you, the foods those have become a part of our lives. They are not from any fancy restaurants, but they definitely have won some stars in your hearts. I believe every one of you have a list of this kind of foods in your mind, and the wonderful moments pop out from your memory every time you smell or even just hear of it.
Dark Michelin is not the most creative fan page, but we are one of the most sincere ones for sure.
Q: There are already so many blogs talking about good foods and recommending restaurants, so what’s so special of Dark Michelin?
A: Dark Michelin is for the small restaurants, diners, or just food stands those are hidden under shadow, maybe not well-known or never had the chance to show on magazines and newspaper.
We show you the images by illustration, and we express how we feel about the foods without any exaggeration. No gorgeous pictures will be on our page, instead, we tend to leave you some space to imagine and to expect. Good pictures may attract more attention, but the best moment is when you finally face the food itself and taste it. To keep a hope make your experience become simple and wonderful.
Q: Do you accept any invitation from restaurants/vendors?
A: Sorry, but no. This fan page is based on nonprofit, we do not accept any reward or payback which will make the list of Dark Michelin not reliable. However, we do welcome any of your recommendation. We will go by and try it by ourselves just like any other customers, no appointment will be made and no photos will be taken. We are not tasting the foods with camera, and you will not see any sponsored posts. We continually welcome all of our fans’ recommendation, and we keep the promise to try it before posting it.
Q: Wow, you now have English version?
A: Yeah we do. Because we have one more intention when founding this fan page, which is to let any of your friends from different countries can have an opportunity to try the real local fine foods. Not just the same old restaurants show in every touristic book, no surprise, and no real local experience. Just like we’d like to try the local foods when travelling to another country, we do hope this fan page provides a whole new experience to your taste buds!
We are now expecting any recommendable local foods of Taipei and Taichung, if you got something in mind, don’t scrimp sharing!

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 20: Toucheng by Train
2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第二十集: 搭火車到頭城
Transcript 文字稿:
Today we’re going to Wushi Port in Yilan where there’s a fantastic museum, seafood and a beach that surfers love.
今天我們要到宜蘭的烏石港。這裏有間很棒的博物館,海鮮,還有一個衝浪玩家非常喜歡的海灘。
I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to try new things, play with new toys, and visit old places in a new way. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
我是米雪拉,在美國矽谷長大,回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者,喜歡嘗試新東西,玩新玩具,用新的方式體驗旅行。台灣好好玩,到底有多好玩,讓我和你分享。
To get to Wushi Port, take a train and get off at Toucheng. You can pay for your tickets by tagging on and off with an Easycard or iPass.
想要抵達烏石港,大家可以搭火車到頭城站,用悠遊卡或一卡通刷上刷下就好了。
This is Toucheng Station. Toucheng literally means “first city.” Between here and Taipei lies that, the Hsuehshan Mountain Range. This was the first city that was developed on this side of those mountains.
這裏是頭城站。「頭城」意指是「第一個城市」。這裏和台北之間隔著雪山山脈,這裏是從台北過來第一個被卡發的城鎮。
This is Wushi Port, the latest reincarnation of it, actually. The older and much smaller one is over there. Come on, I want to show you.
這裏是烏石港,最新的烏石港。舊烏石港比較小巧一點,就在那邊。
Wushi by the way means “black rock.” Those dark rocks in the middle of the old port over there is how this area got its name. And the funky looking building behind me, that’s the Lanyang Museum.
「烏石」顧名思義,是黑色石頭的意思。那幾顆從水裡面冒出來的黑石頭就是「烏石港」名字的由來。我的背後那棟長得很奇妙的建築物,就是蘭陽博物館。
The outline itself is really interesting. What do you think it looks like? A crashed spaceship? A mountain growing out of the ground? The architect, Kris Yao, wanted it to resemble the natural landscape around here - rocks that that jut diagonally out of the earth and the ocean.
光是輪廓就很有趣。大家覺得這長得像什麼呢?一艘墜落的幽浮?從地底下長出來的一座山?建築師姚仁喜希望它呼應這裏的自然景觀,看似從海裡和地裡斜斜突出的石頭。
The shape of the building and the big pool of water in front of it makes a really good picture. Looking at the building makes me feel like I’m hearing music. No, I’m not crazy. I love it!
這棟建築的形狀,還有前面的大水池讓這裏成為一個非常適合拍照的地方。看著看著,我覺得我好像聽見音樂了。我沒有發瘋,我就是好喜歡這個地方!
Kris Yao used 12 different materials for the facades. Each material represents one specific musical note. He mapped the score of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” to the facades of this building. I think it’s quite clever! And I love the space!
姚仁喜在牆面上用了12種不同的材質,每一個材質代表樂譜上一個音,姚仁喜將韋瓦第四季的樂章用這個方式表現在真個建築的外觀上。我覺得好聰明!而且我好喜歡這個空間喔!
The exhibits here are nicely presented too. In the main hall, you’ll learn about flora and fauna found in Yilan.
博物館裡展示品的陳列也做得很好,在主要的展示區可以認識宜蘭的動植物。
This is the scaly anteater. It has special meaning to me because my university’s mascot is the anteater! Zot zot.
這是只穿山甲,對我來說有特別的意義。我大學的吉祥物就是穿山甲。
There are displays on nature, culture, everyday life and lots of other things, like the farming and fishing industries.
這裏的展示範圍還涵蓋了自然,文化,日常生活,以及農漁業等議題。
This is a real fishing boat! A lot of the exhibits in this museum are interactive and that’s why I love it. Of course everything is really well laid out, too. There’s so much to learn if you slow down, look and think about what you’re looking at. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough time in one day, so I have to come back!
這是一艘真的漁船喔!這裏很多展示品都是互動式,我很喜歡這部份,我覺得整個規劃都很棒。如果慢下腳步去思考你正在看的東西,你會有很多很多收穫,也會發現花一天的時間都不夠,以後還要再來!
Where can you eat if you’re hungry? There’s a seafood market here.
肚子餓的話可以去哪裡吃飯呢?這裏有海鮮市場喔~
There’s fresh and processed seafood here. If you want, you can buy it fresh down here and go upstairs to the restaurant area and have it cooked for you. Of course if you would rather not personally give something, that’s still breathing, the death sentence, have the restaurant take care of everything - just go upstairs and order there, or to any of the other restaurants in the area.
這邊有生鮮也有加工過的海產。大家可以在一樓挑想吃的東西,然後請二樓幫忙代工。如果不想要有一種給魚兒們判死刑的感覺的話,就直接上二樓或附近餐廳,讓他們幫你解決。
This is tuna floss with chunks of tuna in it. It’s good for diabetics or for people who don't like sweet foods. No sugar added in here. Mm. I like!
這是鮪魚鬆。對糖尿病患和不喜歡甜食的人來說,應該不錯,沒有加糖。嗯,我喜歡!
Japanese people fresh fish raw. The Chinese like to steam it. Tasty steamed fish have to be really, really fresh.
新鮮的魚,日本人喜歡吃生的。華人喜歡吃蒸的。好吃的蒸魚一定要非常非常新鮮。
Wushi Port is also a big surfing spot. A lot of surfers in northern Taiwan like to come here. In fact, we bumped into one of our coworkers over there. I love it how there’s so much to do around here - there’s the beach, the museum, seafood, hiking, whale watching from Spring to Fall. Everything’s within walking distance, too. You should come!
烏石港也是個衝浪的好地方。很多住北部的衝浪愛好者都喜歡來這裡,我們剛才還碰到同事,也是來衝浪。這裏有好多可以玩的地方,有海灘,博物館,海產,步道,春天到秋天還能商鯨,而且好玩的地方都走路就能到。大家要來喔!

Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記:
We’ve been by Lanyang Museum quite a few times now, and this was the first time we actually got to go inside. It is a wonderful museum! The space is really beautiful (but if you want to enjoy it in peace, go right when they open). I really liked the displays and how they are from floor to ceiling, covering many different levels and aspects of life in Yilan, but they’re really easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking at and if no one is there to tell you the stories. There are audio and guided tours in English and Mandarin, I highly recommend them.
我們曾經經過蘭陽博物館好幾次,這是我們第一次進到裡面去,我覺得這地方好棒喔!我好喜歡它的空間,不過如果想要平靜的欣賞和享受,最好一開館就去。我很喜歡裡面從地板到天花板的展示,描述宜蘭的生活,生態,和文化,不過這些東西沒有人解說,很容易就錯過,所以我建議利用語音導覽,或者報名人員導覽,才會錯過精彩的故事。
The seafood market is kind of fun to walk through. There are two stands that sell fresh seafood, all the other ones sell processed seafood and most allow you to taste before you buy, which is fun and nice. There are several restaurants upstairs that sell and cook fresh seafood, but the one we went to is diagonally across the street from the seafood market building. The name of the place is 章魚哥 Mr Octopus (or brother octopus) and I liked how it seemed cleaner than the restaurants in the market. The food there is quite good!
海鮮市場蠻好玩的,生鮮的有兩攤,其他都是加工食品,大部分都可以讓你試吃再買。樓上有好幾家海鮮餐廳,不過我們拍攝的那家在市場斜對面,叫做章魚哥,菜好吃,感覺也蠻乾淨的。
If the weather’s nice, you can take a walk on the beach. If you’re a surfer, you might really like it there. If you’re here during the right season, you can even go out to Turtle Island or go whale watching. Toucheng is a tiny town, but Wushi Port has a pretty big place in my heart.
天氣好的話可以到海邊走走,你如果會衝浪的話,搞不好會很喜歡。對的季節來,還可以去龜山島,去賞鯨。頭城是個小小的地方,不過我真的蠻喜歡這裏的。
You should come!
