Rainy night in Chiayi

I got a text message from Viv in Taipei telling me that rain was expected. She wasn’t kidding, it was lashing rain. Despite the weather, we went out for a walk down Jhongshan Road. There were lots of good shops but we (once again) didn’t find many good restaurants. The array of choices didn’t tempt me; deep fried street food, scruffy “turkey-rice” joints and The Golden Eagle British pub. There used to be a Golden Eagle near us when we lived in east London. We ended up in Mos Burger, the Japanese hamburger chain we visit at home from time to time for a treat. The Taiwanese version had enough regional variations to make the experience exotic. David ate his burger inside deep fried rice patties instead of a bread bun.
