I frequented a MOS Burger in Taipei throughout ‘95 & ‘96. I agree, the taste & quality were excellent. According to MOS’s website, they now have 100 restaurants in Taiwan.

Mos Burger is great, fast food. If there is one near, i will def. hit one up.
Cheap, fast, good in the stomach. I cant say all three for any other fast food joint like Mc’d, KFC, Pizzahut , Pappa John, Etc.

Yep, I remember the Mo’s Burger on Shan Xi lu-Nanjing Xi Lu in the late 90’s that Fons mentions. And it was actually quite bad… Next time your are in HK forget Mo’s. Try Shake ‘em buns or maybe build your own organic burger just below Hollywood Road and… for the great moments the stunning Duke’s Burgers in Soho

It looks like Mark Tong’s ahead of us in the Best Beijing Burger search…

Paul: What’s your best guess for why HK doesn’t produce bridge people? I agree, and I have a bunch of guesses for why, but not a satisfactory reason.

Hi there. I’d like to think that I’m one of the “bridge people” This is a link to my archive page:

I’m also a regular visitor of your site and like your posts, although I’m no tech fan.

What’s the Linux equivalent? Cooking at home – low cost and an infinite variety of tastes, just a little more effort.

One great habit in HK was (when living in Tai Po in 2001) super tasty garlicly fried pork chops and 24 hour congee in daipaidongs. (The train station market, basic Cantonese required.) Why the heck are you eating hamburgers?!

There used to be a MOS Burger at Grand Gateway in Xujiahui in Shanghai and second smaller location by the backgate of East China Normal University. I used to go there quite regularly when I lived near ECNU from 2003 to mid-2005 and really enjoyed their food. But as I remember they most served chicken burgers and competed with the KFC around the corner not hamburgers.

MOS is predictably good, but there’s much more amazing burgers in Tokyo. Let me know when you are next in Tokyo and we can grab a burger at Burger Mania or the Imperial Hotel’s bar, or many other delicious options.
