Who does not love Taiwanese food? The food is the reason why people travel to Taiwan and sample the delights of Shih Lin night market and other foodie haunts. Much closer home is Monki Taiwan Cafe, which serves up the same treats to be found in the streets of Taipei. This friendly and informal cafe used to be located near Holland Drive Market, but has since relocated to the more upmarket Star Vista. The dishes are delicious, more than ample and filling, while the prices are still reasonable. Here is what we sampled on our latest visit.

| Japanese styled display of items |
 |
| Monki's bestseller: Braised pork rice. |
 |
| Simply delicious: Braised beef brisket stew / soup |
 |
| Just enjoy the beefy goodness and richness. |
 |
| Just Desserts: Water-melon snowflakes with jellies. |
 |
| Not sure why this cafe has a simian mascot. |
 |
| Now we know. Hou jiak (delicious) is the homonym of "monkey eats". |
