Dumbwaiter

Not a derogative aimed at lousy service personnels. A dumbwaiter is a service elevator designed to deliver food and stuff for different floors, often found in large restaurants with separate floors such as those in Asia.

A very busy noodle shop with a limited menu. As you can see, the menu is on the wall...

Remember, these are new Taiwan dollars (NT). One loonie buys 30 NT right now. Ten bucks Cdn feeds a family of three in a decent restaurant here. Yes, there are expensive places here too: remember our dinner at Pizza Hut for $80US?........hm.......
