Tamkang's Top Eats

When you walk into Kooks, you'll see surrealist paintings, English novels, and a cash register on a stomach-height, white brick wall. Not your average Taiwanese eatery, you may say.

That's because Kooks is a western-style restaurant owned by a Canadian ex-pat and his wife right here in Danshui. Kooks offers an extensive menu with a vast variety of burgers, wraps, pitas and salads, as well as sodas, beers, and wines. It's known for its large servings, its crispy fries, its big burgers (that send juices trickling down your hands), its well-seasoned sauces and its reasonable prices.

Although at peak times you may wait a little while for your meal, Kooks remains a favorite among locals and ex-pats alike. So, while studying at Tamkang, come give it a try!
