Thick Toast Wake-Up Call
Before I arrived in Taipei, Dodo had already scouted a breakfast spot near our hotel. She described it as a "thick toast spot" and I knew exactly what she meant. Maroco makes their own bread, slices it thicker than your head, toasts it and loads it with butter. They do much more - feast your eyes on the tarts. Though our Taipei trip wasn't a long one and repeating visits to a single place makes little sense, we came to Maroco many times - because of the toast.
It's a small bakery with seats for about ten. Just inside the front door you're bombarded by freshly-baked choices.
The first time I got only toast. The next time back I went for the full breakfast which included scrambled eggs and pork sausage, which I slathered with the spicy mustard. It was very filling and quite tasty but totally unnecessary - I was happy with the toast alone.
Every time we went, we sat inside, read the newspapers (ok, I looked at the photos in the newspaper and asked a bunch of questions), ate and sipped coffee. Perfect way to start your day.
I really wish I had this place right around the corner from my Paris apartment, so much better breakfast than a rock-hard tartine.
