The menu at Shin Yeh's Table is quite creative and cute; they not only serve unique Taiwanese dishes, but you can also get an alcoholic beverage or two whenever the door is open.

One part of the drink menu showcases 12 drinks, which are part of a "Creation" series that were all created by bartender/manager York; keen at mixing up all kinds of creative cocktails, York jokes that tending bar is his God-given talent. Apart from the highly popular Full House, he also recommends Fruity Sangria (NT$120).

Although you can drink Hennessey at a lot of night clubs in Taipei, Shin Yeh's Table serves up this popular whiskey in a cocktail named the Hennessy-Taipei (NT$250), which puts a new twist on an old favorite. If you get hungry, Cong Hua recommends their Stir Fried Green Chili with Preserved Eggs and Minced Pork (NT$160) appetizer.
