The chirashi bowl is what I typically like to order at Japanese restaurants. It’s the best of all worlds when it comes to raw fish because it comes with a bit of everything. The fish at Izakaya Mai was fresh – not super fresh, but fresh enough for what it’s worth. I also really liked [...]

Anne and David just flew in from Taiwan and I wanted to take them to an American restaurant since they can get all the Asian food they want already in Taiwan. I chose BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in Foster City since it’s a safe restaurant to go to, i.e. there’s something for everyone, and it’s [...]

After church service, we stayed around the Gongguan (公館) area for lunch. We chose to eat Korean food at Han Ting Zhou (韓庭州). We got there just in time because half an hour later, the place was packed with a wait outside. I had their “guo pan kao rou” (鍋盤烤肉), which is part hot pot [...]

I had my last dinner in Taiwan with Roland, Anne and David at Thai Town Cuisine (瓦城泰國料理), a Thai chain restaurant in Taiwan. I don’t know why but this was actually my most memorable meal with them from the last time I was in Taiwan, so I’m glad we got to eat together here again. [...]

After church service, we went to eat at Lan Jia Gua Bao (藍家刮包). We were in luck – no wait! This place is so popular that it’s usually hard to get seated right away, or so I’ve been told … by everyone. By the time we got our food, a wait had already formed. I’ve [...]

After ice cream, we met back up with everyone else and hung out at Eslite Bookstore for a bit. This 24-hour bookstore seems to be the spot to hang out at night … to pick on girls! Seriously, do these many guys really spend their free time reading books? Just kidding.
