A visit to starbucks at taipei 101
I went to starbucks at 101 recently
...its on the 35th floor...
Not many people, but they are picky that each guest only can stay for 1-1.5 hours...
They also had plenty of souvenirs...
Nice view over eastern taipei
...it was also possible to sneak out to other places like the nearby resturants...
I ended the stay by visiting SYS memeorial halls museum and exhibits...
Some night out with Joel
Joel is in town...the famous importer of stuff...
We went to the hammer...for some beer in the dark
Omg...joel had his rolex watch on...
"Beerologist"- word of the day
We also had a nachos platter...very good...
Some day later we met up at the driving range...
Then we made some phone calls...
...and headed to 23...a local beer bar near Daan park...
Many kinds...but happy hour on 2 of them
one rasperry flavour and one IPA
Joel often comes to taiwan to chill...
Bars like this becomes more and more famous
But not too many people a sunday lunch like this...
Its near where old Beer and cheese use to be
next stop...zhangmen in xinyi...
And other local beer bar..w.here we hooked up with arthur..a beverage and food expert...partly from hongkong...
We peaked in to a nearby hotel as well...
...later we went to the japanese distict of taipei...to try some japanese burger...
...this place wwas famous...but it wasnt what we were looking for...
Joel knew the way...
This is the place...
They had many japanese things here...
It was still pretty early...not many bar people where...
We had some japanese beer...
And some raw squid...very salty...
and some milky tofu...very japanese
,,,and some pig skin with green bitter melon..also very japanese
...and some chilli roll...very exclusive arthur told us...
...and chicken skewers...
And the main reason why we came...the cheese burger...it was one of the best ones i had in taiwan...even though its not an american burger...so it goes to an other list that the oter burger bars...
...some more skewers...
...later we headed to ximen...to mojitos...
After some 3-4 drinks this day was getting to an end..2017 continues...
