【Taiwan Sightseeing】”Red reef tea house” delicious tea, meal and the best view in Macon

While I was traveling in Taiwan, I went to 猫空 (Maocon) on a day trip. Cat Sky is one of the tourist destinations of Taipei and it is located on the mountain climbed by ropeway about one hour from the city. Although it is about 4 kilometers ropeway and it is about 300 meters high. Because the green of nature continues only, I feel calm. 猫空 are where I take a walk and drink tea. What place is 猫空 for? I thought before going, but anyway I tried to drink a delicious tea with my name cute. Basically it’s like a place to relax and enjoy a scenic view and drink tea slowly. We had not eaten rice in the morning, so we looked for a meal immediately. Sometimes it is on the top of the mountain, I could not find a nice shop. Somehow entered “紅木屋休閒茶館” was very good. A shop featuring being a building of brick making. I decided here because it was possible to have meal and tea. Although there is a …

【Taiwan gourmet】 14 awesome tastes at Shihlin Night Market

Shihlin Night Market (Seirin Yoichi) is the biggest and famous in Taipei’s night market. Everyone will visit the traveler. I have already been to Shihlin Night Market about 5 times. I have only gone to Taiwan twice so far, but that’s why I go to this night market because there are lots of delicious food.

Do you know “Suddenly! Steak”?

I want you to introduce you  about “Suddenly! Steak (Ikinari Steak in Japanese)” when you comes to Japan. “Ikinari” means “suddenly”, “all of a sudden” or “without preparation”. It looks they are trying to express that beef-lovers can eat beef steak anytime they want  right after they step in the steak house. The stake house chain is getting popular now and newly opened in New York city as well.  You can eat huge and good quality beef with cheaper price here and order your stake per gram. Example, regular beef stake costs 6 yen (converted to 0.6 USD) per gram. Also there is a variant  part of beef like rib, sirloin and fillet etc. All meats are very tender and super delicious and you must be satisfied with its volume more than anything! As far as I know, the beef stakes here are the cheapest and most delicious house in the present Japan.The stake houses are located everywhere in Japan and especially Tokyo such as Asakusa, Akihabara, Shibuya, Ebisu , Shinjyuku, Ikebukuro  and also my home town Sangenjyaya. (See this resutaurant location list.) An interst thing is that this chain restaurant issue “Niku” milage card. Niku …
