Location: Taipei, Zhongzheng District, Beer Dog (2nd visit)
Travel Note: I visited Xiao Zhao's Private Kitchen (2nd visit) in Xinyi District, Beer Rush in the East District, and Beer Dog (2nd visit) in Zhongzheng District. Last time I ate at Xiao Zhao's was before they moved; this time after the move, the price has gone up to NT$38,000 per table. But the ingredients are truly top-notch, and many dishes were surprisingly amazing. Chef Zhao, originally from Shanghai, has superb skills—rose fermented tofu braised pork, East Star grouper fish soup, crab and clam rice cakes... The dishes were completely different from last time, showing great variety. The host this time was Lei Lei. Cheers~ After dinner, I continued the night with Kelvin and David, drinking locally brewed Taiwanese beers (Yilan Black Sand, Nantou Tsai's). Then we met up with Kelvin's Hong Kong friend Marco and his newlywed wife, sipping Belgian sour craft beers while watching the Champions League broadcast. Thanks to the boss for the shot!
