新光三越台北南西店 三館 B1 · show this name to taxi drivers
The basement food floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi's Building 3, right by Zhongshan Station, where each counter serves meals for one. The local pick is 朱記餡餅粥 (Zhu Ji), a long-running Taiwanese chain for northern Chinese meat pies, noodles and soup, with Japanese udon and ramen counters as a fallback. It's an easy dry, indoor option on a rainy evening.
