[Kaohsiung] Lunch at Japanese yakiniku restaurant 茶六

Back in June, T and I tried 茶六, a Japanese yakiniku restaurant in Kaohsiung. We had a wonderful set of prime beef, among other delicious food! We had made a reservation through their online portal, and we’re glad that we did because there were a lot of people the day we went. We ordered the...

[Taipei Eats] Little New York Pizzeria

Back in March, I met up with a friend to catch up. She had gotten engaged in February and her fiance was in town in March. We decided to have dinner together because it had been a while since we last met up. We went to Little New York pizzeria where we ordered 2 half...

[Banqiao Eats] Kanpai and Aunt Stella’s

We went to Kanpai to celebrate T's birthday a couple of months back. They had this event where if you successfully guessed the weight of the steak (+-5g), you would get it for free. Luckily, we were able to guess correctly for one of the steaks that we ordered, so that was on the house!...

[Taipei Eats] Little Creatures Taipei

I met up with a friend last month and we went to Little Creatures. It was amusing how I had been thinking about their carbonara and my friend suggested going there because she hadn't eaten there before. What a nice coincidence! What I missed was their Truffled Mushroom Carbonara (330NTD), which was still as good...

Starting the year at L’idiot

We welcomed the new year by having lunch at L'idiot Restaurant. To start off, we had bread and ricotta cheese and olive oil spread. It was goood! I originally wanted to order the 4-person steak set but eventually, we decided to go with the 2-person set instead because it would be too much. We went...

Taoyuan day trip: Thickly Cut Steak and Mitsui Outlet Park

We tried this steak place in Linkou back in December that always had long lines whenever we’d pass it. We went there at an off-peak hour but still had to wait about half an hour. Wow. The steaks were okay — wasn’t pure beef or pork tho, but given the price, I guess we can’t...

Friday night out: bar-hopping in Ximending

I don't think I've ever gone bar-hopping in Taiwan -- at least not that I can remember from memory. I define bar-hopping as going to more than one bar in one night. Last month though, I met up with a once-a-year friend and what was supposed to be a catch-up session turned into a meet-my-girlfriend...

[Monthly Summaries] December 2021

I don't think I've fully reflected on what happened in December. Off the top of my head, I had a couple of wins at work, ate a bunch of good food, had a couple of meet-ups with friends, and celebrated Christmas with relatives. Let me share some of the books, restaurants, movies, and shows that...

[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...
