What can be said about Kaohsiung's Pig & Whistle that hasn't already been said? An establishment with a history of firsts in this city and with a UK-inspired Pub decor, of course you will find fish and chips here. And of the genuine cod fish variety, too. Your plate comes with two fried codfish paddies, a heap of fries, tartar sauce and a side of healthy green vegetables for NT$300. You will also find fish and chips available in the kids menu for youngsters 12 years or less of age (NT$150). Included is an unlimited supply of soft drinks or to quote the GM himself, "free flowing soft drinks". Not only will you enjoy the fish & chips on offer, but also a Pub that blends authentic decor and atmosphere giving you real Pub "culture"--pure and simple.

Oxford Music Pub has been on the WuFu 4th Road scene long enough to boast its own kind of fame and fortune. Great live music of the Jazz variety is almost unique in itself. The fish and chips here are good and the fish on offer is rare and delicious. A change of pace from other places, Oxford's fish and chips comes in the genuine UK-type malt vinegar, which accompanies your fries, instead of the usual ketchup. For NT$200 enjoy a nicely battered fish with a heap of fresh cut fries, garlic toast and tartar sauce. For NT$250, throw in a small draft, a bottled beer or a soft drink. Regulations require FYI South to remind you not to drink and drive.

TAINAN
The Armory
82, GongYuan S Road., Tainan City
(06) 226-9520
Hours: 8 pm-5 am
Chinese & English menus available.

The Armory, which has been a fixture on Tainan's nightlife scene for almost a decade, serves up dishes which are intended to please--and which succeed in pleasing--a very large proportion of its diverse customer base. There are Western favorites like burgers and steaks for the foreigners who come here, Chinese snacks and dishes for the Taiwanese crowd, and plenty of vegetarian options for those who don't eat meat. Given the popularity of fish and chips in the UK and some other places, it's no surprise that the Armory does a good, traditional Fish And Chips (NT$300)--a very generous portion of battered fish, a pile of French fries, plus sauce and vinegar. If you'd like your fish cooked a different way, try the Fish Burger or the Marinated Fish. And if, like a proper Brit, you want to wash it all down with beer from the UK, you'll find a number of choices, including Old Speckled Hen. Regulations require FYI South to remind you not to drink and drive.
