tokyobike Taiwan

【Foodholic Niko @ Taipei】

"tokyobike Cafe" is a coffee shop that combines a bicycle store. This is my second visit, and they mainly sell sandwiches and burgers, which I think are perfect for brunch.

The bicycles sold here are of high quality, but I checked online and they are indeed not cheap, haha. The shop also sells some bicycle-related accessories and curated items.

The whole shop is very cute, and the dining area has a Japanese ambiance. When I came for a meal today, I even saw a very Japanese-style grandmother who ordered a pot of hot tea by herself and quietly read a book. For a moment, I thought I had arrived in Japan~~~

Dafu Fish Ball and Double Fresh Egg Burger $120
Last time, I had a sandwich which I thought was very well toasted and delicious. I originally wanted to have another sandwich this time, but when I saw this dish, I found it interesting—it said it had fish balls and fried squid paste. In the end, I was intrigued, but when it was served, I felt a bit regretful because fish balls really do not belong in a burger. It’s not that it’s not tasty, but with one bite, it’s all gone. I’d rather have something with substance in every bite~~~ The fried squid paste is something like fried fish paste, and the sauce pairs well, tasting somewhat like mayonnaise.
But overall, I recommend that everyone should still try the sandwiches here; they are classic and delicious!

Many Dumplings Crispy Fried Dumplings $110
I’ve always liked fried dumplings, and seeing this item paired with Thai sweet and sour sauce, I had to order it! But after eating it, I wasn’t a big fan. The dumplings were pork-flavored, and although the outer skin was indeed crispy and tasty, the pork flavor was quite strong... Even with the sauce, the flavor didn't really dissipate, and I felt the dumplings didn’t pair well with the sauce. This dish can be skipped.

Fresh Milk Tea $100
I ordered it hot; the portion is okay, not too small. It tastes like standard milk tea—nothing spectacular.
(I remember the sesame milk tea I ordered last time being quite good!)
