The other day, I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Taichung, and much to my surprise, there was a Pizza Rock across from the hotel. Any place with the word "Rock" in the name always graps my attention. However, it's a far cry from the Rock and Roll McDonald's or Hard Rock Cafe'. Other than a few band posters on the wall, there's not really a lot of rock in the atmosphere.
Putting the lack of decor aside, their food is a breath of fresh air, especially in Taiwan. Over the next few days, I tried the Pizza Rock pizza, several different paninis, and even their soup. It really was a beckoning light in a city of hot pots and dumplings. I really enjoyed the meals there.
