[Taipei Eats] Hotpot at Wulao Hotpot 無老鍋

Another hotpot restaurant that we were able to try back in January was Wulao Hotpot 無老鍋. I had friends from Singapore who were in Taiwan and we made time to meet up for lunch. We went to their Zhongshan branch:📍 No. 36-1, Section 2, Zhongshan N Rd, Zhongshan District, Taipei City Funny how we ordered...

[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...

Last 2 weeks of October – little wins and a Halloween party!

Not a lot happened during the last 2 weeks of October. The most exciting thing that happened was our high school class halloween party, where I "dressed up" as Stitch (basically wore my Stitch onesie) and where we had fun playing games and catching up. T and I also ate out a couple of times,...

[Taiwan hiking diaries] Qinglong Ridge 青龍嶺 and Mt. Dadong trail 大棟山步道

We added another mountain to our hike list - Qinglong Ridge 青龍嶺 and Mt. Dadong trail 大棟山步道 in Shulin! Granted, we didn’t walk the entire route because we didn't know that we had already drove past the starting point. Oops! That's something we can do next time. Before we went to Shulin for our hike,...

First hike of 2021 – Mt. Sanjiaolun 三角崙山, aka Matcha Mountain 抹茶山 (Jiaoxi, Yilan 宜蘭礁溪)

Last year, we were able to reach my goal of doing at least 3 hikes. We did Qixingshan, Jinmianshan, and Guanyinshan. In January, the weather on weekends wasn't as cooperative as it always rained so we weren't able to do any hikes. Luckily, on the first weekend of February, we finally had good weather! We...

Hiking Guanyinshan 觀音山 (Yinghanling 硬漢嶺 & Niugangleng 牛港稜 trails)

I'm happy to say that T and I have gotten into hiking, so much so that we even bought hiking shoes and a small, lightweight backpack, both from Decathlon. Here is our photo when we reached the top of Guanyinshan's (觀音山) Yinghanling (硬漢嶺) trail. These hiking shoes have a stronger grip than our regular rubber...

Upscale hotpot at 合.Shabu

My colleagues and I had a really delicious dinner at 合.shabu (hostshabu) thanks to one of our managers. It was my first time going into Bellavita in Xinyi District, and also my first time (if I remember correctly) eating such expensive hotpot. We ordered a lot so that everyone could try and share different dishes:...

Food tripping at Yongkang Street, Taipei

Someone was in my side of the world so of course, we had to meet up! Tbh, I was a bit nervous at first because we hadn't seen each other in a very long time and I thought it was gonna be awkward or we wouldn't have stuff to talk about.

[Taipei Eats] Aceline and Machikaka

Before I left for the Philippines, my friend Joyce and I met for a quick weekday lunch. We hadn't seen each other in a while so we made it a point to catch up. I also had some stuff that I wanted to give her. I didn't know that such a restaurant as Aceline was...

[Taipei Eats] Ooh Cha Cha

Last April, I suddenly felt the need to go out and meet new people so I joined my first ever meet up with a couple of Taipei Ladies at this health food restaurant called Ooh Cha Cha. I had heard of Ooh Cha Cha before because I followed some people who tried their food over...
