Taiwan reporter Kayoumin stopped in at the Brass Monkey last nite, Taipei’s bonafide Antipodean style sports bar, and, while the menu offers a wide variety of ‘western style’ ‘sports bar’ cuisine items, opted for the giant saucisson (hot dog), with fries and beers on the side.<\/p>\n

He said that the sausage was “German style”, which had good flavor, and he added mayo. \u00a0He was surprised by its density, anticipating a ‘softer’ sausage, and said it was far too big for the average European appetite. \u00a0(Kayoumin, you want to know about sausage surprises, ask me about the first time I ordered andouille in Paris!).<\/p>\n

In looking over their online menu<\/a>, I’d be tempted to try the “Giant Monkey Burger,” \u00a0two 14 oz beef patties, double cheese slices, bacon, egg, and onion rings, which is offered for about $16 USD.<\/p>\n

The pub has specials throughout the week, and offerings to suit game nites, whether you’re a fan of Asian baseball or international football.<\/p>\n

In addition to burgers, enjoy steaks, pizza, and sandwiches at the Monkey as well.<\/p>\n

The Brass Monkey is located at\u00a0166 Fuxing North Road, Taipei. \u00a0Driving and MRT directions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hey, Kayoumin, must have reminded you of some of our nites at Dan Ryan’s<\/a> in Hong Kong?<\/p>\n
