TuMaoShangHao Shisha Lounge -XinYiDian — Taipei $$
Rarely go to the cinema just for a movie these days, but for 'A Step into the Past'—the 25-year-spanning pioneer of time-travel dramas—I made an exception. Seeing the original cast on the big screen after all these years was genuinely moving. Caught the 4DX version at Showtime Cinemas in Taipei Dome for the full experience.

Had dinner at Spicy Friends Mala Hot Pot on the 4th floor of Dream Plaza with Steven, Co-Founder of the globally 30th-ranked crypto exchange UZX, and Ms. T.

Taipei Yongji Rd. Ji Rui Wine Collection | FortuneCellar $$
Taipei Yongji Road FortuneCellar. After dinner, I passed by this shop while taking a walk. It was drizzling lightly, so I went in and opened a bottle of Italian sparkling wine to relax with a drink. The shop owner treated me to a small glass of Macallan Classic Cut whisky that had been aged in a sherry cask. Suddenly remembering that T also lives nearby, I called her out to join me for a drink. The two of us then opened another bottle of South African Shiraz red wine. Cheers!

Ms. T spontaneously asked me out for drinks near her place.

They're known for experiences like 'Dining in the Dark' and VR events.

Taipei Songren Rd. Flare - OKx Exchange VIP Wine Party $$$
After a meeting at Biwin near the Taipei World Trade Center in the afternoon, where I met Iris – who turned out to be the same Iris Willon introduced me to in Hong Kong years ago – I headed to the OKx exchange VIP cocktail event at Flare on Songren Road. It's a small world; Iris runs her own fund in Hong Kong and was involved in Luckin Coffee's IPO. This was my third time at Flare in Xinyi District this month.

After a typically busy Monday with back-to-back meetings, I met my good friend Sam for a happy hour at Woo Bar on the 10th floor of W Hotel.

We chatted about At.mosphere, the world's highest restaurant on the 122nd floor of Burj Khalifa, which Sam visited and I've also been to with Mr. Liang.

Ce La Vi Bar, 48F, Taipei Nan Shan Breeze $$$

Visited Owen's company, Flexiv, a US unicorn, with Howard and his son. Saw their latest AI-powered robotic arm performing delicate tasks like pouring wine and trimming plants. Truly impressive technology.

Taipei Breeze Nanshan 48F Ce la vie Taipei $$$
Ce la vie Taipei on the 48th floor of Breeze Nanshan is part of the LVMH group's restaurant division, with another branch at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. My cousin Mingxiu happened to introduce me to his friend Jack, who used to work at Fubon in Hong Kong, so we continued our night drinking in a private room here. Jack is also from a Tainan-based family and has been in Hong Kong for over six years working in wealth management, where he's met many high-net-worth clients. It was a fortunate gathering to drink together—Cheers! By Morgan @2021.4.29 evening
