My Favorite Restaurant in Taiwan (Dec 10, 2009)

I may be biased, but I must say that Taiwan is the culinary capital of the World! 食養山房 is my favorite restaurant in Taiwan for its location (in the mountain), its deco, and of course the food. For $30 per person, we each get an individual ly prepared 8 course meal, which is different from the usual family style meals in Taiwan. Even though it is located deep in the mountain, it's usually fully booked. I had to make reservation one month ahead and could only get a table for Thursday lunch (with no view.)

(Very peaceful Zen-style deco)

Mandarin and Taiwanese family names

I am used to dealing with the complex and sometimes confusing familial relations and names in both Mandarins and Taiwanese in Taiwan, but it's interesting to read an American expat's attempt to organize them in one blog. I am not counting on S or DD to remember all of my relatives and how to call them. ^^
