Fogo Churrascaria Brazilian BBQ

The barbequed meat which comes out fresh from the kitchen on metal skewers is delicious. They had beef, lamb, pork, chicken, shrimp and more. Unfortunately there were two things that make me unable to recommend this restaurant. First, besides the BBQ there is not much else to eat. There is a very small soup and salad bar. Second, when busy the service suffers greatly. The waiters bring the BBQ out of the kitchen and are supposed to distribute it amongst the tables. What ends up happening is they always begin at the tables nearest the kitchen, and the food is gone by the time they reach the back of restaurant. I had to complain a couple of times before food started to find its way to my table. Location: Nanjing E. Rd.

Pharmacies

There are many small pharmacies throughout Taipei. If you know what you need, many medications which may be available by prescription only in your home country may be available over the counter. Of course, there are still some medications that are only available through a doctor or hospital such as opiate based pain killers. A larger pharmacy which is often suggested if you are looking for something hard to find is the Shanghai Pharmacy. Shanghai Pharmacy 衡陽路32號 / Héngyáng Lù 32 Hào / Hengyang Rd., No. 32 walking distance from Ximen MRT (Blue line, just west of main station). Use Exit 4. Hengyang ends at 228 Park.
