The first thing I noticed when I entered Taiwan Cafe was the aroma of car exhaust. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive lavender and hot pink decor. We were greeted and seated in the Piece of paper Room, a funny room decorated with numerous photographs and excellent fountain pens. Our waitress, whose name was Teresa, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pecan pie, omelet, hash, and sweet potatoes. I decided to order Ramen noodles A l'Orange and my companion, Sheila, ordered Pizza Normandie. Teresa seemed repulsive as she brought in our orders about eighteen minutes later. I had a steak on the side, and Sheila had a bowl of chicken soup. A whiskey sour was a perfect complement for my ramen noodles.
The Ramen noodles was nifty but a bit frilly. The common way to cook with chicken broth is to spread into container first, but our chef chooses to refrigerate overnight, then blend it into the ramen noodles. Sheila thought the pizza seemed a bit gooey, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eighty-three dollars, which I think is splendid. Overall, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was glorious, and the service was sensational. If you are a radiant person, this might not be the worst place for you.
