In the heart of Taipei there’s a piece of Old Russia that serves up cakes fit for a Czar, but with a twist Taiwanese enough to appeal to local tastes. This is Cafe Astoria, a sweet little cafe with roots in bitter exile. Last week, the cafe’s current owner, Karen Chien, told us about the cafe’s founding by a Russian exile who fled both the Bolshevik Revolution and the communist takeover of China. We also heard how Karen's father became involved with the cafe, eventually becoming the owner. This week, we'll hear about the cafe's glory days as a center of Taipei's cultural scene, about how the cafe was forced to close, and how it's since returned--a much of a Taipei institution as ever.
