[Taipei eats] Seafood restaurant dinner at 私。活海鮮

It had been a while since we met up for dinner; if memory serves me right the last time was when we went to eat live king crab. That still remains to be a fun experience. This time around, we went to another seafood restaurant called 私。活海鮮 that was recommended by S. The food was...
