Café Grazie in 大潤發, 內湖

Hola!

Here I come with a new must visit western style restaurant, the "Café Grazie" or the "Caf´e Grazie". It seems both ways are correct, but I think that most probably the printshop made a mistake, so the owner accepted both results (check above panel, the door window and the right side names).

Japanese Sukiyaki 火鍋 - 好吃!

Hola!

What a nice hot pot I had today! I have been in Asia for around 10 years and I had never tried the Sukiyaki Japanese style before. I can really say that, the longer a western lives in Asia, the more he realizes about how little things we know about the vast cultural and culinary diversities. As a rule of thumb, never go to bed without learning something new ;-)

Taiwan Bits and Pieces

Hola,

Taiwan has many interesting things, and even more if they are looked under Spanish eyes. For example, I have never seen such a big piece of Sushi, almost the size of a small car!!!

"Chiang Mu Ya" o 薑母鴨

Hola,

Comenzamos el dia con la presentación de un tipo de "Hot Pot" muy famoso en Taiwán, llamado "Chiang Mu Ya". Y que es lo que tiene de diferente del resto de "Hot Pots"? Pues que a la sopa se le echa pato, muchas verduras y sobretodo, alcohol de arroz.


Dependiendo de la marca o la variedad, puede llegar a tener entre 20 a 60 grados, es decir, comes y casi que te emborrachas a la vez, todo en uno!
