Taipei Huashan Creative Park Black Vinyl Coffee $$
In the evening, I visited a company with Jeff, whose clients include Far Eastern Bank and Chung Tai Chan Monastery. Afterwards, we had soup dumplings at Jinan Fresh and then I headed to a spot opened by Cory's friend to spend some quiet time alone. It's a very special secret base filled with vinyl records. Listening to live band music while enjoying a few glasses of wine created a super relaxing vibe, especially on this drizzly night. Enjoy the moment!

Back in Taipei from Taichung, came to this interesting spot with great vibes for a drink. Surrounded by melodious tango music, they have different performances or talks here every day.

Taipei ATT 4Fun 10F KaraKara $$$
Had dinner with Marcus, Amy, and Andrew at a restaurant in Xinyi District, paired with a Bordeaux red wine. Thanks for the treat, Andrew! The second stop was at this Korean restaurant near NTNU, where we had whiskey and soju with Professor Lee from the music department, Brother Zeng from semiconductor equipment distribution, and Korean owner Brother Zhao. Cheers!

Taipei Minsheng E. Rd. Shou Bo Piano Bar $$
A unique spot with a pianist and an open karaoke vibe where guests can take turns singing. After a casual dinner near Xingtian Temple, I came here later with senior Lman, Mars, and Bruce. Bruce founded INSTO, a fintech company that turns smartphones into POS terminals. We enjoyed drinks and casual conversation.

Taipei ChinaPa Bar & Restaurant $$$
After dinner, President Liang invited me here for the next round, because today was also the 70th birthday of one of his good friends, and they chose to celebrate here. China Pa used to be on Anhe Road but later moved to its current location on the 11th floor of Core Pacific City. Inside, it has a nightclub vibe—besides food and drinks, there are live singers performing in the evening. Tonight they had a singer who usually performs at casinos in Macau. As soon as we sat down, I saw the table already filled with bottles of French wine (Dourthe). President Liang's friends are indeed all very interesting people, including the second generation of Tai Feng Tire, a former Ministry of Finance...

Taipei The Landis Taipei Paris 1930 — French Cuisine $$$$
Dined at the Paris 1930 French restaurant in The Landis Taipei. Mr. Liang, who just returned to Taiwan this afternoon, invited Morgan (me) for dinner, so we came here. The set menu includes two appetizers, a seafood course, a main, and a dessert. I had Gillardeau oysters, caramelized chocolate foie gras, wasabi seaweed tuna, and coconut chocolate yogurt snowball. Each dish showcases the chef's creativity and brings delightful surprises. No wonder people say cooking is an art.

Taipei Shilin Green Door Music Restaurant $$
NT$880 for all-you-can-drink cocktails, and you can even go on stage to sing. It's a pretty fun place! Within five days, I've gone through a round of whiskey, sake, beer, and cocktails.

Taipei Taiwan Beer 346 Music Warehouse (Seems to have moved) $$
My old classmate from the new Chi Mei company was going to their client Amtran's spring banquet and asked if I wanted to go. It happened to be near my place, and since I hadn't had dinner yet, I dragged Boss Loco along to join the fun. 346 is hidden within the Taiwan Beer factory grounds and is a pretty high-energy venue with performances and lots of foreigners. The food was also pretty good. Then we moved on to Star Party for karaoke. I casually chatted with a procurement guy sitting next to me. Taiwan is still so small—because he handles the AUO account, he knows our other classmate Bei Xiao Ka. It was really hi...

Taipei Blue Note Taipei $$
In chronological order, I should have posted about Masa Sushi first, which I went to with Latte and Foye. But that article, including two verses of doggerel, the main content, and all the photos, vanished into thin air half an hour before my hard drive crashed last week. However, life is like that—you never know what will happen in the future, and anything is possible. I just have to face it calmly. But rewriting something I've already done feels really draining, so I'll write about something different for now.
