What's more natural to eat by the seaside than a plate of fish and chips? Opened by a British chef who married a Taiwanese guy, Britshake serves soft white battered cod with the best chips in Taiwan. So good, you can forgive them for overdoing it on the Union Jack decorations. There's also scones and clotted cream for afternoon tea, plus cottage pie.
