Mos Burger. I'd heard it was pretty good, so I skipped out on side-of-the-road, hole-in-the-wall Taipei-style cuisine and hit up a fast food joint. It's the Japanese, vegetarian version of the West Coast's celebrated chain In-N-Out. The burgers look virtually identical, don't they? And yes, that IS a "special sauce" made with mayo, ketchup and chopped onions...just like in good old California.
As all of you know, China (and more specifically, Taiwan) is a big part of my heritage. My mother was born in China but raised in Taipei, Taiwan. (FYI, my father was born in Philadelphia but raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So kind of the same.) All of my mother's immediate family still resides in Taipei: my grandparents, my aunt, my uncle, their children and their children's children. I'm going to Taipei this summer for seven full weeks (from May 28-July 15) to live with them, become familiar with their Taiwan lifestyle and finally learn to speak some Mandarin.
