Brick's Burger (American Cuisine)

Location:  台北市漢口街2段53巷17號1樓 (in MRT 西門)

Wonder what a home-made burger in celebration for the Fourth of July tastes like? Well, I've found the place and its in this small burger store called Brick's. The place is styled in a very rock n'roll way fashion and the pricing is not high. 


Rochefort is always a must try on my listing, however, the blue cheese wasn't as good as I expected to be because it was not strong enough. 

The Chicken Burger, for those who do not eat beef, is delicious. The meat is tender and juicy that makes a perfect combination with the fresh lettuce leafs. 

Burgers range from 150NT to 250NT. Very affordable and they come with a salad or fries and a drink (refill-able or you can exchange it for one can of A&W, Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew etc..)  

The Jam or Bacon burger are only at 150NT. I highly recommend the burger with Jam, its really yummy...yummy enough for me to go there a second and third time!

Cafe Cafe or 樂子 in Chinese, is a small bar/restaurant/cafe. An excellent choice for brunch! It is highly recommended to make reservations before going. However, on weekends, instead of 2 hours, one is only allowed 1-hour and a half for the meal. So for those who are looking for a place to sit and relax, this is not it. 

When I went there, I tried the Mushroom Chicken Crepe (240NT). Unlike the Crepe that you find in ShiDa Night market, this is the French type of crepe, softer. However, I think that it was a little too thick and too soft. The chicken was a little bland, but after adding some salt, I found the taste to be great. I also really liked how their hash browns are home-made. 

I also had the opportunity to try the Greek Omelette (220NT), it was good, but not as good as i expected to be because i thought that it was going to melt the feta inside and have black olives with lots of tomatoes. Overall the taste was good, but i prefer the Crepe. 

The Eggs Benedict (230NT - 310NT)on the other hand, are in my opinion, better then NY Bagel's because of the sauce. It was much thicker, which is how the Hollandaise should be. 

At last I tried out a dessert crepe, the one with Banana, Pecans and a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. I'd say that it makes a perfectly nice ending for a brunch, but the waffles at Coffee Alley definitely beats it!

The place also serves Sandwiches and Burgers, but for sandwiches, i would highly recommend Toasteria and for burges, Evans~

I recently went to eat NY Bagel. I have been talking about going to this place for quite a while. Not only because I've hear how good it is, but also because I happen to walk by it so many times and see so many people in line really made me wonder just 'how good is it?'


So I took a night off and decided to head there with some of my friends and try out the food! 
I must say that for a restaurant that is known for its bagels, its pasta was not bad at all. The Jambalaya sauce spaghetti was really good, but just careful because it was spicy as well so i really no not recommend it for those who cant afford a hot flare in their tongue! 


One of my friends tried the classic Eggs Benedict. I think it was good, but not to die for good because the Hollandaise sauce was too watery and it had no texture. 

The Grill Chicken Sandwich was good, but i would recommend the Smoked Salmon and Creme Cheese Sandwich.  

Rabbit Rabbit (American Cuisine)

Telephone: 02-8771-4073
Location 2: 台北市大安區大安路一段31巷31號
Telephone: 02-2778-3445
Location 3: Coming soon in by NTNU (師大)


Known for its Brunch and Burgers, Rabbit Rabbit is the perfect place to sit-in during a rainy day and enjoy a nice brunch for dinner. 

They serve their egg omelette with matcha toast and waffle fries. Accompanied with orange slices to freshen up your taste pallet.  

The burgers are good, but not the best. The bread is a little thicker than the normal burgers, so for those who have a small mouth, you might want to use your fork and knife! The set comes with a refill-able drink. 

The restaurant also sells other variety of food such a eggs benedict, pancakes, French toast, fajitas, chicken pesto cram burger and more.
