Shintaipei Restaurant (2005-05-23)

Of the different kinds of cuisine in the world, Chinese food is my favorite.  It is hard to get authentic and tasty Chinese food in Tokyo without paying through the nose, so I'm quite happy with moderately-priced restaurants whose food may not exactly be authentic, but tasty nonetheless.

There is a Chinese restaurant located on the 8th floor of Lumine department store above JR's Machida (kanji) Station.  The restaurant specializes in Taiwan cuisine and is aptly called Shintaipei (New Taipei).  We have been there twice and both times it was crowded.  The first time we ate there we ordered small dishes of local Taiwanese food.  Last time we just ordered the set lunch.  Although the meal didn't come out like the replicas outside the restaurant, it still tasted good and I wasn't terribly disappointed.

It's good to know that they have opened another restaurant in Shimokitazawa (kanji) which is much easier to get to for us from Shinjuku (kanji).  Next time we won't have to travel so far to satisfy our crave for Taiwanese food.
