THE
EARLY BIRD DINER
--By Matt Flint, translated
by Eva Huang
Taichung finally has an American-style
diner with all-day breakfasts, "bottomless"
cups of coffee and fountain drinks, plus a lunch menu
with some surprises. The Early Bird Diner will no doubt
become a favorite hang-out and community hub, thanks
to its 15-foot bulletin board, open to anyone. If you
are in a rush, you can call 10 minutes ahead and your
food will be thrown to you from the front deck. Or saunter
in, grab a seat and judge the culinary skills of the
staff. To get started, you can order a Breakfast Sandwich
(NT$79) and a side of seasoned home fries (NT$50). Try
the Ramble Scramble, made with three eggs, three vegetables
of your choice, home fries, toast, and juice (NT$199)
with meat (+NT$20). Or you can get the Deuces Wild breakfast,
with two eggs, two strips of bacon, two sausages, home
fries, toast and juice (NT$222). This review would not
be complete without mentioning the pancakes and french
toast, both cooked to perfection with slightly crisp
outsides and soft, fluffy innards. There are big plans
for this business and all you have to do to be part
of it is to swing by and have a great cup of coffee. |
