"Welcome
to our store. Can you speak English?" This is the
greeting that all local customers here when they enter
this cozy little eatery, run by California native Parker
and his Taiwanese wife. Located one street over from Art
Street, this friendly place--decorated in bright yellows
hues--aims to serve affordable home-cooked, all-American
food, while providing an English environment for those
hoping for some language practice. Towards this goal, there
is a different music theme (reggae, country & western,
etc.) every day, movie nights, English KTV and other fun
activities. The menu starts with tasty breakfast specials
(available all day) like the NT$90 pancake, omelette, or
waffle specials (with hash browns, eggs and bacon), or
NT$130 Big Breakfast and the make-your-own omelettes. Two
pancakes (buttermilk, banana, peach, blueberry) can also
be ordered for NT$60. Lunch specials (which come with a
drink) include taco, burrito (NT$90), sandwich, or cheeseburger
(NT$140). Other offerings include chili, salads, soups,
potato skins, and beers--from NT$90 Coors Light to NT$110
Granville Island imported brews. There is also a little
grocery section selling US products, from canned tuna and
salad dressing to candy and chips. There is take-out, 10-percent
discounts on morning/afternoon specials, and accumulating
12 special meals (marked on a card) gets you one free meal.
