[ 我們是光點 ] 

We managed to pull off the last gathering in Taipei before the typhoon reached us. But we were surprised how quiet it turned out to be & we almost couldn't feel it. But it made some distruptions to our original plan. We went to Cafe Lumiere in Taipei Spot. The place fell into... (continue reading...)


這次的颱風來前氣勢很大，但是走的卻淋漓盡致，悄悄地我來了，悄悄地我走了，台北沒什麼感覺，但新聞卻亂了我們的計畫。今年在台北最後的一次 gathering 在充滿文化與優雅氣息的台北光點 Cafe Lumiere。這裡曾經荒廢一時，但在重新改造後成了文藝電影愛好者的聚集地，我在這裡看過電影，上過電影課，看過...

[在這寸土寸金的地方, 還留下台北市的第一個眷村]

The area around Taipei 101 is now one of the most expensive real estate value. But among the new and tall buildings, you can still find the first military dependents' village in Taipei City. These were built as temporary housing for the KMT military that retreated from China to Taiwan in the 1940s & 50s. The houses were not... (continue reading...)


沒想到在台北 101 附近還保存了這個看起來就和附近的摩登大樓很格格不入的眷村，那天和好友很早就到了在世貿一館附近的這個信義公民會館，也就是四四南村的舊址，這曾是台北市的...

[ 慶生可以低調, 到料理要高調 ] 

Havne't had a BDAY PA for since university years. Just mostly spend time with close friend or family. This year is no different. A close family friend recommended this new style of Japanese cuisine to us and I thought the presentation, price, taste and service were all pretty good. Would.. (continue reading..)

[ Woo for Woobar ]

A few months ago I bought a book that talks about 50 different kinds of Design Hotels in Taiwan. It has been a pretty recent phenomenon (maybe for the past 3 years or so) I think. W Hotel Taipei is one of those very "designed hotels" that opened its doors just last year in the... (continue reading...)

之前在書店有買一本提到台灣近年來開了許多很有設計風格 的 hotel 的書, 除了在台北黃金地帶外, 還有一些則是在比較清幽的山中或湖邊, 就台北來說,  W Hotel 這個名字一定不陌生, 因為在台北的 W Hotel 就在信義區的購物商圈, 裡面最多人blog about 的...

[ BELLAVITA 的下午茶 ]  

This is the year to catch up with old friends! Have been busy in the past few months with lots of things and above all - meet up with friends from uni. & highschool years. While we're in Taipei, I went for an afternoon tea at the bar & restaurant a3 in the BELLAVITA... (continue reading...)


今年是世界同學會, 很高興能見到許多好久好久沒見的朋友, 超開心的啦！:D 這次和朋友本來想去 DCafe (另一個排隊排到誇張的 cafe), 但後來至少要等上 2 個小時就作罷, 我們另外去了 BELLVITA 的餐廳. 在 BELLAVITA  中有兩間下午茶, 這間是在一樓的 a3 bar & restaurant. 每次經過都會看到許多人在理面, 還有那....

[ 早晨就要來個南洋庭園調調 ] 

Near the Taipei Songshan Airport, there's a quiet street named Fujinjie (or Fujin Street) in the residential area. It's a quiet street with lots of greenery and small cafe/restaurants that are very popular. Among them, No. 108 ...(continue reading...)

[ 一片綠意中的蒙馬特 ]

There are lots of nice restaurants and cafes on Mt. Yangmingshan. This time we went to a cafe that is located at a place that seems to be rather "secretive". Let's say, it was not easy to spot it. Through the tiny green gates, you'd... (continue reading...)


陽明山上有許多很有特色的餐廳, 我們這次到了一個比較隱密的山中 cafe, 這個很有法式風格的店名, 坐落在一個不起眼的轉彎處, 通過了這扇綠色門, 就像愛莉絲到了....

[ 結合酷酷與新穎設計的潮麵店 ] What we call a fashionable undercover

So noodles can be fashionable too. This is a noodle bar in Taipei that shares a very designed space with a Tokyo fashion brand. The noodles served here are from the famous Dingtaifeng (a brand of Taiwanese soup dumpling). & The fruity mixed drinks here are... (continue reading...)


有人說 “潮" 是最新的形容詞, 這間也就是所謂的 "潮" 店了!  上次的攝影 PA 本來考慮包這間的場地, 這間的設計風格算滿強烈. 有點復古, 有點華麗, 有點低調, 有點頹廢. 這間餐廳裡面的麵食是鼎泰豐, 特調水果飲料是Barcode. 是他們說...

[ 沒有了愛情與麵包, 來了貳拾陸巷找 Somebody ] 
Not only a dream, but a drink inside.

The location of our photography party this time is a place full of creative cells and flying ideas (matches our theme as well.. lol). The cafe is in a rather sketchy street with tattoo stores in the Ximending area. A small and narrow staircase leads.. (continue reading)


這次的攝影 PA 活動地點在之前的場地臨時 NG , 我們緊急上線尋找台北的另一片春天.  這間位在西門盯著名的刺青街裡的不起眼角落的 Somebody | 貳拾陸巷 是間充滿了創意細胞的新新咖啡, 也是我們攝影 PA No. 6 的場景. 我們包了...

[ 北投日盛生加賀屋的下午茶 ] 
Afternoon at the Radium Kagaya.

Kagaya is a famous hotspring hotel in Japan. It is rich in tradition (over a hundred years old) and has been ranked No. 1 hotel in the Top 100 hotels in Japan for 30 years. I recently finished a book on Kayaga (in Chinese). The book mentioned the first out-of-Japan site the hotel established and that place is in Beitou, Taipei. We were.... (continue reading...)


從 XM 回來的飛機上才看完一本關於日本加賀屋的書, 書的最後當然也不忘推一下 30 年來得到日本評鑑服務第一名的加賀屋溫泉旅館第一個海外據點就在台灣的北投. 在北投的加賀屋好像是在去年 11/12 月開的,感覺上....

There are lots of vegetarian restaurants in Taipei and many are rather modern and look nothing like what you imagine a vegetarian restaurant would be. The Su Veges Restaurant in Taipei is quite busy on the weekends (& maybe on the weekdays as well). The... (continue reading...)


現在好像聽到 "素食" 就會有人擺出臭臉說 "我不要!!!", 不過換個名字, 加點包裝, 這樣是否就會讓人比較容易接受呢? 這天有個 special occassion, 所以我們就要找沒有葷食的地方, 剛好 search 到這間在內湖的 Su 蔬食料理, 裡面的空間和...
