[Taiwan] 台北,捷運雙連站,好朋友居酒屋 (Iitomo)

今晚其實已經吃過一點東西了,只是由於份量不足,想找點烤物,同時也來杯生啤;在Google地圖上找到這家4.8顆星的好朋友居酒屋,雖然評分人數只有五人,還是硬著頭皮來試試!
Since I've already eaten something for dinner, I'm looking for some grilled food and bear for supper. The Iitomo has very high score on Google Maps, 4.8 stars, although there are only 5 people scored it. 

一拉開拉門,居然一個客人都沒有...實在有點希望店家說沒開,我想去別家看看~
When I get in, I'm a little scared because there are no any guests inside. I may be the only one.


當拿到菜單,居然沒有烤物,除了驚訝,還有點不高興,但還是點了一點東西。
When I look at the menu, I'm a little unhappy. There are no grilled food...


一開始就來了小驚喜,上了兩盤免費的前菜,這道是小芋頭,說實話,我不喜歡芋頭味,所以差不多考慮了五秒鐘吧!嚐了一口,很甜,而且,還沒有我討厭的芋頭味, 一直到快吃完的時候,才有一點芋頭味,這道是我喜歡的芋頭。
The free appetizer, the taro. To be honest, I eat taro but I don't like the taste of taro. When the waitress told me, it's taro. I really consider for few seconds, should I eat it? 
It changes my image for the restaurant, the taro is very good, sweet and no taro flavor which I don't like. It's delicious.


毛豆,偏脆的毛豆,挺順口的。
The soybeans taste crispy. 


關東煮部分,我點了蒟蒻和蘿蔔,蘿蔔吸飽了湯汁,很好吃,蒟蒻本身不吸湯,建議沾著附的黃色芥菜醬,帶點微辣,讚!
The konjac and radish of Kanto Cooking. They are yummy. And try with the wasabi even better. 



烤香菇,旁邊附著一點醋,據廚師說,日本人喜歡配著醋吃,嚐了一口,我喜歡沾著胡椒鹽吃,雖然調得有點鹹,但調得讓人一口接一口,停不下來,一下子就吃光了。 
The grilled mushroom, it's served with some kind of vinegar and the waitress said that Japanese prefers to eat with the vinegar. I tried one bite, I prefer to eat with the peppered salt.


鯖魚一夜干,魚肉非常地飽滿,再擠上一點檸檬,好好吃,讓人好滿足。
The Mackerel of Jack Mackerel. It's delightful and I was satisfied with the meal at last.


最後再來一杯生啤酒,真棒!
以上總共台幣910元。
With the Asahi bear, total costs NTD 910.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運雙連站,企鵝文肉焿專賣店


某個晚上,我在捷運雙連站附近,想找間能快速填飽肚子的店,無意間,看到招牌上的30老店,就決定是它了!
One night, I was looking for something to eat fast near the Metro Shuanglian Station. I was attracted by the word, it's opened for 30 years.


菜單其實滿簡單的,大概只有不到十樣料理,我就點了炒米粉和肉焿湯。
炒米粉稍微偏乾,搭配口味較重的魯肉,很好吃,再加上清脆的豆芽菜,口感還挺多變的。
肉焿湯則是給了許多的肉焿,我猜有六~八塊,滿滿一碗,真的是好滿足。
There are not much food it serves. I just ordered the stir-fried rice noodle and portage soup. The noodle is simple but delicious. The flavor most comes from the braised pork. It's delectable. The portage soup is full of portage, I guess there are 6 to 8 pieces. That's really a lot.

離開前,有四個來自香港的女生跟我併桌,我才發覺,原來這間店可是間名店呢!
When I almost finish them, there are 4 girls come from Hong Kong to try it. At that point, I guess I find a really famous Taiwan style restaurant. ha~

[Japan] 京都,右京區(嵐山),嵐山うどん おづる (Ozuru)



看完寶嚴院夜楓,到了該覓食的時候了,沒想到此時的嵐山還是很多人,透過Google Maps查評價,然後再看看排隊人潮,最後因為燈籠上寫著「自家製麵」,選擇了這家嵐山うどん おづる。沒想到就在中午吃的三忠豆腐的對面。
Leaving Hogonin, I was trying to find something to eat. I found his, Ozuru, just cross the street where I ate for lunch, the San Chu.


告示牌上寫著,有中文菜單,這也是一大吸引力啦!
It's a good thing that it says it has Mandarin menu.


我點了熱的鴨肉烏龍麵套餐。
I ordered the Udon noodles with duck set, served warm.


果然不愧是手工,自家做的麵,粗彈有勁,非常好吃,只是,我比較偏好台式的切片鴨肉,這樣的薄片鴨肉,實在沒有吃肉的fu~
The Udon is chewy, really good. But the duck is...too thin and too less. I like the duck noodles in Taiwan more.




小菜。
Above two are the side dishes.


還附上了一碗香菇飯,很滿意地結束了今天的行程。
The set also has rice too. I think this is more Japanese way. For me, I feel full after finish the rice.

[Japan] 京都,右京區(嵐山),寶嚴院夜楓 (Hogonin at night)

黃昏時分,我到了寶嚴院排隊,這是一間只在秋季開放參觀的寺院,入場費要日幣600元。
In the night at Arashiyama, I select a temple that only opened in Autumn, the Hogonin. It costs ¥ 600.




這盞燈非常美,或許因此,沒什麼人走在它的光影中,所以可以拍下這麼漂亮的照片!
I guess because the light it's so special and beautiful, no one walk nearby. So I can take a photo of this fantastic light.




















在偏黃的燈光下,楓紅更紅,對照天空的黑,美景處處,好美~
Under the yellow light, the maples look so red, so stunning.


在空中發現一顆愛心!
I found a heart in the sky!

賞楓日期:2016年11月23日。
建議賞楓期間:11月下旬。
Time I visited: November 23rd, 2016.

[Taiwan] 馬祖,南竿島,景點




雲台山的軍情館,是另一個會檢查證件的景點,也就是說,非台灣人無法參觀,雖然如此,由於雲台山是島上的高地,來此可以登高望遠,可惜這一天沒有好天氣~
Yuntaishan, the building is another spot that only Taiwanese can get in. Even though, here is at the top of a hill, foreigners can still come here to take a look about the beautiful landscape.


枕戈待旦,就看看,拍拍照囉~
The Sleeping on Spears, Awaiting the Dawn(Always On the Alert). The words are written by Chiang Kai-shek.


經國先生紀念館,裡面有其經歷完整介紹,可以了解一下。
Ching-kuo Memorial Hall, there are only few places where you can find to memorize Chiang Ching-kuo. This is one of them.

[Taiwan] 馬祖,南竿島,鐵堡 (Iron Fort, Tiebao)

鐵堡,是當初有駐軍的一座碉堡,進入地下,就可以想見當年的困苦,那麼一小間的臥房,起居室等等,真是辛苦。 
The Iron Fort is a small tunneled fortification. The soldiers just lived under the ground in the past. When we visited it, you can find the small bed room there. That's really tough.





這裡真的很有戰地風情,一定要來走走;晚上再來尋找藍眼淚時,我就待在第一張照片的平台,拍攝鐵堡右方的海灣,順利追到藍眼淚。 
This is a spot that you can still feel the atmosphere of war. The bay on the right-hand side is where I found the sea sparkle.



由於先在北海坑道看過藍眼淚(雖然馬祖人都戲稱那是養在動物園裡的藍眼淚),對於其發光的情境有了更好的理解,來到這兒,就先往海灣中央看,發現有一波波的波浪會發光,那就是受波浪刺激的藍眼淚了,此時把相機架起來,對著海中的岩石拍攝,約曝光一分鐘,就能拍出上面,圍繞在礁岩旁的藍眼淚。就這次的經驗,在非大量的時候,肉眼要看著海中的波浪尋找藍眼淚,礁岩旁的藍眼淚,只有相機才拍得出來。
It's lucky that not only got the photo of sea sparkle, but also see it by my eye. I was able to see the sea sparkle at the wave. That's how I know here has sea sparkle. Then set up the camera to take a photo. The photo can show the sea sparkle near the rocks because there are continuous waves to stimulate them become bright.
