Featured Benefit Provider: The Pig


What do you do if you find yourself in the family-friendly part of Taipei known as Tienmu and you have a hankering for some good old-fashioned fish and chips? Not to fret, just head on down to The Pig, a great, relaxing little British-style pub that offers an array of beers, good, affordable dishes and an atmosphere that will take you right back to Blighty. In fact, much of the interior design trappings and the great, red phone booth by the door were shipped over special from England.

The establishment, part of a local chain, takes its name from the fact that, way back before the renaissance, “pig” was a word for “wine cask,” so while it doesn’t mean to imply that you have to stuff yourself silly in the place, the delicious fare will probably make you want to do so anyway. In addition to the fish and chips, which come with a special red-wine vinegar to bring out just the right flavour, the menu includes favourites such as seafood Caesar salad and "Beer Bites." So sit back, have a tuck, and enjoy the live music or the game on the big screen.
