Another scenario: Have a meeting for chit chatting with some friends, but nobody is up for a complete and full meal. Other than regular restaurants, where can you go?
In this article I'll suggest five wonderful afternoon snacks in Taipei City, which you can take into consideration when next time you confront the similar dilemmas and scenarios mentioned above.
1. Omelet on the Iron Pan
Omelet with varied kinds of fillings is one of the essential foods of Taiwanese breakfast. It's cheap and fast and tasty, thus its popularity lasts as long as legends.
But who says we can only have omelets in the morning?
The breakfast shop LoCo Food provides yummy omelets everyday from 6am to 2pm. Instead of simply placing the omelets on whatever plates, LoCo Food serves omelets on smoking hot iron pans, this featured container not only looks cute, but also keeps the food warm until your last bite.
Menu from LoCo Food:
( Omelets with fried potatoes / bacon / corns, tuna and cheese / grilled meat / vegetable, etc. )

2. Apricot Mania
UZNA OMOM is a famous cafe specialized in apricot related dishes.
The most recommended food is their ultra thick pan cakes. The cakes are still hot and humid when served, and its gentle butter taste matched perfectly with the fragrant honey. You can't imagine how delicious it is until you try for yourself!
Another dish I recommend from Uzna Omom is shaved ice with apricots.
The ice only has a slightly sour and sweet taste, mixing with juicy apricots, it completely refreshes you up from the sultry and lazy afternoon.

* Strongly advice to call UZNA OMOM beforehand to book seats. Sometimes it's unreasonably full of people.
3. Back to old times: Wheel Pies
Every culture has certain food that symbolizes childhood and nostalgia. In Taiwan, the wheel pie that is usually sold from wheeled carts is one of these traditional snacks.
The wheel pies shop "Sometimes" ( 有時候 ) is located in a hidden corner of the city. It provides only three simple but yummy flavors: Cream, red beans, cheese and potatoes (salty). Other than wheel pies, you can also buy a bottle of traditional black tea to match with your afternoon snacks.

5. Honey Comb Ice Cream
Honey Creme is a Korean brand that invaded Taipei not long ago. This shop featured many fancy dessert combinations based on milk ice cream: Ice cream with two chunks of honey cakes, with chocolate cookie balls, with marshmallows, with caramelized popcorn, etc. But most popular of all is ice cream with honey comb. The silky milk ice cream is indeed a good companion of a piece of raw honey, if you want to experience this heavenly taste, remember to pass by this shop on your shopping tour around Xin Yi District ( 信義商圈 )!
