Taipei Eats: Mr J French-Italian Restaurant, Taipei City Hall

My friend was visiting me for summer break and since it's her birthday, I brought her to one of Jay Chou's restaurants for a small birthday celebration. Yeah, it kinda gives me a reason to come to since there's no way I visit this kind of place by myself. Weird much, right? #pityantisocialme

I have to say it took me awhile to research how to go to this restaurant because of the location. We took bus no.1 from bus station opposite 7-11 at Taipower Building MRT station area (exit 4) and alighted near Taipei Medical University Hospital at Xinyi District. I'm gonna create another post on how to locate the restaurant from the university since it will be easier to show by pictures. For now, let's go inside! =)

The restaurant is pretty cozy and it's not too crowded at 3pm on a weekday. We ate quite late because my class is only finished around 1plus. Hungryyyy~~~

Since the restaurant is themed around one of Jay Chou's movies called Secret (不能說的秘密/ bùnéng shuō de mìmì), of course you will see the screenshot from the movie all around the place. Fyi, the movie is quite nice to watch. Hehehe.

The famous piano which can bring you to the past if you play it. =P

Famous quote from the movie, which I think I saw on the toilet door..hmm..I suppose it should still be romantic?

The place serves alcohol too for dinner time. I suppose it will be kinda romantic to drink here at night time. <3

Indonesia Travel: Mawi Beach, Lombok

We are finally here, at the last beach to visit in Lombok, Mawi Beach. It kinda feels sad knowing that we are leaving the sea soon. *cry*

The beach is quite unique in view of its shape. It does look like a concave pond. Hahaha. The next 3 pictures will explain clearer. LOL.

I should have probably used a photo editing software to combine the above three pictures but I'm too lazy. Hahaha hope you get the idea.

Anyway, since it's the last time I went to the beach in Lombok, I'm gonna run to the sea and enjoy most of my time. Yeah! Until next time, dear Lombok! =)

Indonesia Travel: Sade Village, Lombok

Oh gosh, I have been neglecting my blog for like a week? I'm really sorry for the lack of commitment (which is directly due to lack of proper internet connection back home). No excuse? Oops! =P

Anyway, I am back! And diving right into the next list on my Lombok trip (yeap, left with two posts to go..hehe). This time around, we are not gonna see beach and sea because it's time for a cultural visit to a local village in Lombok called Sade. Village is called "desa" in Bahasa Indonesian (fyi moment).

You know just like South Korea has its own hanok village, you can call Sade Village as the cultural villages preserved for cultural heritage and tourism industry in Lombok. In here, you can see the daily life of local people in their traditional Sasak houses.

Spotted a grandma weaving cloth. She has been weaving for dunno how many years and it seems like she enjoys it very much.

The villagers allow tourists to take a peek inside their houses. Here is the kitchen area.

Chickens are favourite choice for pets here. Probably for consumption purposes. Sorry, chicks! =P

Food storage. I suppose smoking should be prohibited here? One bit of fire and the whole thing will be burned to the ground, right?

The village is not really big so it took us less than one hour to finish the tour. If you are interested in buying local souvenirs (e.g. accessories and traditional clothes), you can buy it here but the price is kinda steeper compared to the ones sold alongside the road.
