A fancy restaurant I ate in Taipei, Taiwan

-
This past summer, I enjoyed eating at a upscale restaurant located at Far Eastern Mall located in Da'An District. Although the bill is expensive, it's nice to splurge every once in a while! Here is the link where it shows you a video of the 5-Star hotel and fine dining: http://www.shangri-la.com/taipei/fareasternplazashangrila/ 

If you stand near the railing, you can see the stores and people milling about!
I decided to order a pasta so I was in a short line and the chef told me to choose any ingredient and he cooked it in front of me!
The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived mid-afternoon.

There's water flowing on the wall! This building also has a spa upstairs.

This macaron reminds me of Sailor Moon one of my favorite animes!

Passion fruit, a popular fruit in Taiwan

So many options, so little time!

Cheese and cracker, anyone?

There were many desserts to choose from! You can select a soda can from the bucket.

The shell-like decoration is a nice touch adjacent to the dark brown tables!
Overall, I recommend this place for family reunions. If you go to the roof, you will see that there is a pool and lounge chairs for guests who are staying at the hotel in this same building.  You can even go to the spa there! You can also see prominent Taipei 101 from the pool! If you go downstairs, you can go shopping too. What are your favorite restaurants in another country beside the United States?

Hello cupcakes! The weather is beautiful today! I have been inactive lately, but nonetheless I will share the pictures of delicious food I ate. I went to Washington D.C. and Annandale, Virginia. Some food are from fancy catering companies and others are from restaurants. This is coffee-flavored and strawberry shaved ice with sweet toppings. I loved it! You can buy this at the "Block" located in  4221 John Marr Dr, Annandale, VA 22003 Next I went to a Korean BBQ restaurant. It's called Kogiya Korean BBQ located in 4220-A Annandale Rd, Annandale, VA 22003 I loved the food and the sauces. The Korean restaurant gave a wide variety of choices and plenty of food for a group of 6 persons! There were a lot of leftovers afterwards, but sadly we were not allowed to bring them home.  I will write about food I tasted in Washington D.C. in the next post!

Are we dreaming or are we awake?

Hello my cupcakes! In Philosophy class, I was learning about  René Descartes. He was the father of modern Western Philosophy. He inquired whether do we exist or not? How do we know if we are dreaming or not? That got me pondering. He said that our own senses may be deceiving us or that some sort of a genius is deceiving us from the real world. I really like the Wax Example. If we imagine a wax, we presume it to be solid and yellow. But if it is placed next to a fire, its shape transforms and the smell is noted. That tells us that the senses did not tell us that the wax is capable of many changes. Back to the question: are we dreaming? How do I know that I may not be sitting here typing this paper and that I am actually sleeping somewhere else? Well, I think in a dream, we feel like we are moving in a dream-like state where everything seems so far yet so close. It is sort of like a out of body experience where you know that you are in a dream because you see yourself walking or seeing p

The Big Apple!

Hello everyone! About a year ago this month, I went sightseeing for one day to NYC. What I liked about NY is the tall Christmas tree decorated every year with beautiful lights and colorful ornaments bigger than my head! I just adore Christmas, the bright colors, decorations, and cozy slippers. Christmas always make me feel joyful.  I went to the  Rockefeller Center to see the lights and also went to Bryant Park to see the tall tree with a small outdoor market. The walking distance between these two locations is not that far. Keep in mind that the Rockefeller Center is crowded at night. Photo credit to Mei Mackleer. This photo was taken a year ago. This is my dog wearing the string lights before we started decorating the tree! (Dec 2017) I went to Downtown Holiday Market in Washington D.C. At the end of the walk in the market, I enjoyed the authentic German drink from a company called The Taste of Germany: German Foods. It tasted like hot apple cider and I am not sure what
