Having been curious about visiting the famous Alishan, we frantically made a call to go there..during winter! Yes, winter! Knowing for sure there won’t be any snow even in the highest point in Taiwan, we thought what will be unbearable about it. So there we went finding information. Personally, I was not aware that Alishan is located in county of Chiayi (worst, I did not know at all about Chiayi).
Being loyal patron of Ippudo Ramen makes us hesitant to share this information with you guys. Why? Because even without many publications, we rarely get the chance to slurp this “claimed the best ramen in Taipei” without holding our hunger just for the queue.
Eager to chill out at a cafe with a nicely designed lush green yard? Sounds very rare in Taipei, right? We’d love to share this place with you and let’s see if you guys exclaim it like we do. To be honest, don’t expect too much from this yard, because it’s merely a tiny one.
Simply longing for home-cooked Chinese food or feeling indecisive where to eat around neighborhood of Dapinglin (大坪林)? Those are exactly the reasons how we ended up visiting this “quite new” restaurant; plus the promotion they were having by the time we passed by.
Having been wanting to have a “proper” x-course-meal all along, finally we had the chance to have a Christmas celebration dinner (yeah, 6 months ago :)) in one of restaurant chains by 王品; the F&B giant carrying brands like Wang Steak and Tasty.
Anybody up for coffee time in Starbucks? We bet some of you would say “yes”.. Hmmm, how about coffee time with an extra Taipei 101’s 35th floor view, then (underline the phrase: without additional charge)? Maybe a lot of you guys have heard about this.. but are you unsure how to actually get there? You’ve come to the right source (I hope :))!
Here is our about-an-hour afternoon tea time-lined experience in Wednesday Cafe, a cafe with simple stylist decor around Fuxing area.
Cafespotting has been a culture for youngsters nowadays. Simply said, cafe culture in Taiwan is very much as booming as other parts of Asia like Singapore, Korea as well as China.
Specific for Taipei, I have done some research in blogs regarding well-known cafes and found out there are numbers of well-known places which are featured almost by every food bloggers (in casual random order):
Afternoon tea vs. high tea. Let’s start this post out by discussing these two terms. Basically both are tea times, but actually bottom lining them are the timing. Afternoon tea, also known as “low tea”, is assumed as the having tea activity when we heard “high tea”. Involving things like manner, afternoon tea is meant for social-gathering during mid-afternoon and up until now is adored mostly by women.
One very special day (12.12.12) my dear roommates L, F, and I planned to have a celebration (just kidding – we realized it only afterwards though).. Anyway, December (new month!) is coming so we kinda feel like deserving a lunch off with yummy food 😉 (we hope to schedule at least one lunch-get-together session every month). Moreover, there is a trendy cafe cum brunch place in Gongguan just short walk away which L really wanted to try.
