BYO water

We ate at the ShinKong Mitsukoshi food court near the station that night. Food courts are great. I wonder why we don’t have them in Japan? We went to the Korean counter and were served by the dimmest girl in Taipei. The stall had only 6 items. We asked for beeb em bop and pointed at the picture. The girl got her knickers in a knot because we were foreign so naturally she wouldn’t be able to understand us. She went out the back to get someone from the kitchen to help. Fortunately the chef was able to understand the order even without looking at which picture we were pointing at.

I went off in search of water, but kept being told that I should go to the supermarket for that. Hmm. We brought our own from then on.

The food was good, but I have never had beeb em bop with cheese and corn in it before…
