We flew to Taipei during the Holy Week. Before flying, I checked out Michelin's website to find out affordable Michelin starred restaurants in Taipei. Came across Shin Yeh Taiwanese Signature located in Marriott Midtown - a one Michelin star restaurant. But since we were not staying near Marriott Midtown, I looked for their branches near our hotel. Luckily, there was one branch within walking distance from our hotel!
We went to the restaurant without reservations. Fortunately, there was a table available but we have to finish within an hour. We said, no problem. We eat fast haha!
The food came super fast. I think it was fastest service I've ever had. No joke. Anyway, here's what we ordered (for us 3 hungry tourists):
Shrimp in Tomato Sauce
Stir fried Beef Tenderloin with Kale
Pan fried Oyster Omelet
Braised Pork Belly
Stir fried Spinach
We were done before our time was up. We are really fast eaters haha!
The food was really good and like I mentioned above, service was really fast. Not all the waiters speak English but that was not a problem. All you have to do is point to the menu the food you want to order.
They served us a dessert (fruits) even if we did not order it. So that was a plus.
If you are visiting Taipei, try this restaurant. They have several branches across the city, so find one convenient to you. Or better yet, go to Marriott Midtown.
