Shrda on the other side

Posted on 28. Jun, 2009 by admin in Food and Drink, Places

Shr Da. The bustling student nightmarket next to Taiwan Normal University boasts a large variety of food, entertainment and student culture. The area is crammed with traffic, kitch and youth. The lanes lined with restaurants, sweets and Belgian beers. Our roving team of vegetarians, drinkers and all round nice guys took a stroll down Shr Da, looking for the ‘B-sides’ and favorites.

KGB – Kiwi Gourmet Burger 紐西蘭風味漢堡

Big, beautiful hamburgers. KGB also stocks a beer fridge that would make any connoisseur froth at the mouth. It’s worth trying the North Taiwan Brewery Belgian style beers.

Hwa Mei Chinese Cusine 華美新古典麵食館

New Taiwanese cuisine. A nice classy place spot for an intimate evening with the better half. A mixture of Taiwanese traditional food with sprinkles of dim sum.

Preshawar 柏夏瓦 Cafe

East & west. Preshawar stocks a wide selection of beers and good eats. We liked the curry sausage, and we also liked the hand-made quality.

Chocolate Box backpackers

Tucked away in a a tight unassuming corner of Shr da is chocolate box. Clean, well organized and friendly best describe the hotel. Less than 30 sec from the heart of Shr da, it’s a great spot to meet local students and a great example of night market life.

Zabu

Inspired by Japanese culture, Zabu offers a great spot to absorb some student vibes. Zabu touts a very sub-culture inspired atmosphere, backed with live music and events.

Underworld 地下社會

Tight, sweaty and very cosy. Underworld is the loud music central of Shr Da. Blow your ears out, get a beer and enjoy the music.

Mykanos 米克諾斯咖啡館

Greek ambience right in the middle of Shr da. Order some very fine coffee, sit back and relax.

Awfully Chocolate

Chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, chocolate ice cream. Awfully chocolate.

Salt Peanut 鹹花生展廠

Inspired by local students, artiits and designers, Salt Peanut is a very comfortable tapas bar with a twist of Lou Reed and Andy Warhol.

Cafe Bastille

Belgian Beer? What a great selection of fine beer. If that doesn’t suit your taste, grab a fine sandwich. Munch up and relax.
