I first noticed Mount Kao Sandwich Shop on a walk back to the Technology Building MRT Station from a restaurant. It enticed me enough to look up their pictures on their Google Maps page. The photos didn't look like the typical Taiwanese-failed sandwiches, so I decided to give it a try. Now, after many visits, I can say that I'm very happy that I gave them a try.
Mount Kao's sandwiches are Western-style, meaning their good. Most sandwiches made in Taiwanese restaurants don't appeal to Westerners at all, but Mount Kao is one of the few exceptions. Their prices are also very reasonable: average sandwich is NT$190 and comes with fries (or wedges, sweet potato, or salad). If you decide to get a drink or dessert with your meal, you save NT$20, which makes it NT$100 total (their Earl Grey Cheesecake is great). This is a great price if you compare it to another tasty sandwich shop: Toasteria, which costs about NT$370 for a sandwich including fries and the 10% service charge. Mount Kao is basically half the price.
My favorite thing at Mount Kao is the Mounted Egg Cheese Burger Ciabatta with double meat; it's one of the best burgers I've had in Taipei. Stating which of their sandwiches is my favorite isn't an easy task since there are so many great options, but I'm going to say these: Grilled Cheese (preferably with egg and bacon added), Cranberry Brie Bacon, and Spicy Chicken Strip Sub. My favorite side order is the Fried Chicken Tenders, which is a heaping plate of chicken tenders with a delicious sauce for only NT$150. It's basically a meal in itself.
It would behoove any sandwich-lover to make a trip to Mount Kao, or burger-lovers for their one excellent burger option.
Vegetarian options: Grilled Cheese (toast NT$150, Sub NT$165), Avocado Salad (Sub NT$200, Ciabatta NT$215), Tomato Mozzarella (toast NT$165, Sub NT$180)
