Hoe Hoe Kyaw Restaurant

Northern Taiwan


One of many fantastic Burmese restaurants near Huaxin St in the western suburb of Zhonghe. This is the first shop on a left-hand alley about 400m down Huaxin St. Service is superfriendly, the space small and bustling. Try samosas (三角, sānjiǎo), fried chicken on shredded cabbage (椒麻雞, jiāo má jī), curry (咖喱, gālí) or ginger salad (兩辦薑絲, liǎng bàn jiāng sī).

Ask for the English menu. To get here, take the orange line to the terminal station, Nanshijiao. Leave from Exit 4 and go right; you'll reach Huaxin St (華新街) after walking about 600m.
