Taiwanese NABE (Pot!)

Second working day of the new year 2008, and I went out to a Taiwanse restaurant in Ginza, Ten-Shan-Fei-Wei (天香回味) with my colleague and client! Basically they have very healthy Taiwanese hot pots, with a lot of herbal medicine inside. The distinct smell is very much noticeable as you come out of the elevators....and a much stronger flavour in the lines of "herbal spice" once you enter the restaurant on the 7th floor of Ginza Velvia-Kan. But I'm afraid they do not have vegetarian option - apparently the soup has some chicken inside it.

And guess what - the Taiwanse restaurant in ADK Shochiku Square building 2nd floor, Taiwan-Kaisen (台湾海鮮) which is very close to where I live right now, is a sister restaurant!

Talking about restaurants, nothing beats Nenohi in Oazo building for me, and they will be opening a new restaurant in Yurakucho area in April this year, so I cannot wait to try out the new place.

Life is interesting indeed, and my life right now is moving at such a fast pace........meeting loads of new people, getting a lot of inspiration from them.

Party this Saturday awaits......I cannot wait.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

2008 is definitely going to be an exciting year....with the start of LuvP Planet in April 2008. We have so many ideas of what we want to do, and today 1st Jan 2008, I've been spending time with my family at home, telling them what plans we have come up with for the new company.

And I just want to tell you my father seems quite excited to hear about our plans! My brother and my sister-in-law has already started helping me.....my sister-in-law has sensitive skin, and so she has been telling me what cosmetics products she uses, and finds effective...Matsumoto Jushi, JIMOS / DoctorBio brand MacchiaLabel, ORBIS, etc.

Well, we have very high hopes for this new year, let's make it another fantastic year!

And I'd better do some exercise - cos I've been eating like crazy, all the Osechi cuisine, as well as drinking lots of sake from lunchtime, then Italian wine in the evening....Japanese food is just too great!

Some pictures taken during the new year holidays......
