An affordable, long-established pasta spot on 文林路 toward 士林橋 in Shilin. This place is thoroughly practical: mains, sauces and bases can be mixed and matched like building blocks. The cheapest options start just above a hundred, and the generous offer of free extra rice or pasta makes this an inexpensive canteen built to fill students, big eaters and families to the brim.
● Wild Mushroom and Chicken Curry Pasta Gratin
Spicy curry sauce, penne and a baked cheese topping make a bold Taiwanese-style combination. The cheese is golden and stretchy, while the penne holds up in sauce better than spaghetti, retaining springiness and a firm bite. The chicken and wild mushrooms are not skimpy either. With rich sauce and thick cheese, anyone with an ordinary appetite needn’t prove anything by upsizing.
● Tomato Clam Spaghetti
There is plenty of tomato in the red sauce. The clams are not large, but there are a generous number, with enough seafood savoriness to meet the sweet-tart sauce. The spaghetti is soft, making it less appealing to those who want a firm center and chew, but suited to families or fans of softer noodles. For more texture, switch to penne, which generally holds up in sauce better.
Decide on the sauce first, then spaghetti, penne, rice or a baked cheese option. First-time visitors can try curry penne with baked cheese for the restaurant’s bold flavors; tomato and clams are a safer choice. Check the day’s rules for larger portions, black tea and set-meal add-ons.

📌 Editor’s Wrap-Up
Bremen不萊梅 has managed to open so many branches in a fiercely competitive market by offering highly flexible combinations and portions that show no fear of a hungry customer. The tomato spaghetti does lose some momentum toward the end, with sauce that has not reduced enough and pasta on the soft side. Still, the bold Taiwanese flavor of curry penne with baked cheese and the generous free-flow black tea keep this an affordable Shilin veteran you can count on when you want maximum fullness for pocket change. It suits practical appetites, whether the month-end budget is tight or you have little ones to feed.
