Keelung Miao Kou Night Market Taiwan

Image
While browsing through my photos, I saw a couple of nice Taiwan food photos when Janice and I were in Taiwan last year which I have yet to share here. It was Day 3 of our Taiwan trip when we dropped by this famous night market in Keelung district. Better known as Keelung Miao Kou Night Market , the crowd there was huge with food available everywhere.  Keelung Miao Kou Night Market Taiwan " Keelung’s Miaokou Night Market is famous throughout Taiwan for its large selection of food.  The night market is easily accessible on foot for most travelers arriving from other cities. From the Keelung railway station walk east straight along the street following the harbor in the direction of the Keelung Harbor Bureau (identifiable at night by its large orange neon sign. The night market is roughly one block from the point where you cross a freeway overpass."

Urban Spoon Bistro Hartamas

Image
Another rather new cafe has opened up in town recently, located just across the linked bridge from Hartamas Shopping Centre. With a really unique name, Urban Spoon Bistro Hartamas was the place we crashed in for their wonderful Weekend Buffet Roast. Urban Spoon Bistro Hartamas Urban Spoon Bistro B2-3A, Plaza Damas 3,  No. 63 Jalan Sri Hartamas 1,  Taman Sri Hartamas,  50480 Kuala Lumpur Website: http://www.urbanspoon.com.my Contact: +60362012108 The interior of Urban Spoo which was clean, comfy and new Upon entering the cafe, I was rather impressed with the comfortable environment. Not only was the eatery really clean, I find it interesting that Urban Spoon took the trouble to make sure all their furniture, tables, menu came in eye-pleasing colours. It blends in with the furniture! Eyeing the buffet set, I just couldn't wait to sink my teeth into some roasted chicken and some roasted rib eye beef which were the main highlights of Urban Spoon's weekend ...

Nuffnang's Upcoming 5th Birthday Celebration

Image
Nuffnang is celebrating it's 5th Birthday very soon, on this 26th February to be exact. When I first heard about this, my first thoughts were "Whoa, it's 5 years already?". Okay, this blog isn't even five years old, but from the first creation of this blog until today, it still publishes primarily Nuffnang ads and the journey with the cute blue stickman has been an exciting and eventful one. ( My Nuffnang Story ) There'll be this cool by-invitation celebration coming soon Now what do I mean by the cute little blue stickman? Well, if you do notice Nuffnang's logo , it is actually this stickman hollering out. I found out the first iteration of Nuffnang's stickman was this really thin character which finally evolved into the logo we have all grown accustomed to today.  The old thinner version of Nuffnang's Stickman The Current Nuffnang's Stickman A vast improvement for Nuffnang's Stickman over the years as we see Nuffnang grow ...

It was the weekends, and off I went with Janice to yet another desserts place in SS2, PJ. This time our venue was the desserts place named Isenbin Authentic Taiwanese Handmade Desserts . We reached there in the late afternoon, just in time for tea break, and what a heavy tea break it turned out to be. Isenbin Authentic Taiwanese Handmade Desserts Isenbin Authentic Taiwanese Handmade Desserts (next to Eu Yan Sang or opposite Wong Kok) 5, Jalan SS2/67, Petaling Jaya, 47300 Selangor GPS : N03 07.227'  E101 37.266' Business Hours : 11am - 11pm  Daily Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Isenbin The interior of Isenbin Initially upon hearing the name Isenbin I thought it was going to be a Japanese dessert or something, until I was educated by dear Janice that it means "I Love Fresh Ice" in Mandarin . With such a bold name, I would assume the ice used in all Isenbin's desserts were fresh, which was a good thing. One of the banner proclaiming Is...

For a film that scored two Golden Globe Awards and nominated for five categories in the upcoming 84th Academy Awards, I just had to catch The Descendants when it came to our big screen.
