Good Eat Review: Lazy Monkey in NW Calgary – Taiwanese Casual Food

卡加利的台灣小吃 – 懶猴

Lazy Monkey is a Taiwanese restaurant in NW Calgary.  It’s a small family operated restaurant.  They offer some popular Taiwanese comfort food and a variety of the famous Taiwanese bubble tea drinks.

We visit it pretty often.  :-)

Some of our favourite items:

  • Chicken Thigh with rice
  • Spring noodle soup
  • Dry ribs
  • Taiwanese version of “popcorn chicken”
  • Coconut toast
  • Bubble teas: My hubby’s favourite bubble tea is half sweet Passionfruit Green Tea with pearls (“bubbles”).  Mine is half sweet Lychee black tea with pearls.  If you like dessert flan (like me), then you must try “Pudding Milk Tea” – I usually ask “no sugar” for the milk tea since the pudding is already sweetened.  You can try it “half sweet” for the first time.
