Taipei Gourmet Lexington

I haven't been to Taipei Gourmet in Lexington for a while so on this beautiful Saturday I decided to pay them a visit.

Look at that sky but it's too early to be serving outside even if they could have done with the extra seating today.

Jumbo Shrimp with Hot Pepper ($12.55). It was marked as spicy on the menu but it was completely without any traces of heat. Adding whole chilis to a dish doesn't add any heat unless they are broken up so that the seeds can come out. The shrimp and peppers were nice but even opening up the chilis to add the seeds didn't produce any heat either.

Seriously busy today at lunch time with lots of large groups enjoying the Taiwanese version of Dim Sum. When I left, there was a line out the door. What happened to the nice linen tablecloths?
