Tea Time ft. Caviar

Caviar with a smoky tea pairing is certainly unique.

Dinner @ Qatar Airways Singapore Lounge

Lucky Chicken Rice

Safe to say everything was picked clean within 10 minutes.

Fried Chicken Bento

Due to a whole ordeal at check-in, rushing to the gate for boarding, refusal to buy overpriced meals on a budget airline, and a late night arrival, I didn’t get to eat a proper meal again for quite some time.

Breakfast at the Keiunkan

Given the hotel’s remote location, prestige and price to match, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show what they served for breakfast. Such a complete Japanese spread, and yes, there is rice cooking in the small pot towards the back.

Taipei Traffic

FWIW the Uber driver was very friendly.

Dinner at the Oldest (Running) Hotel in the World

Forgot to post this grand multi-course dinner during my stay at the Keiunkan. It’s a whole bounty of winter produce. With a private dining room overlooking the same river and a dedicated waiter (really a butler? pretty sure she was assigned to us throughout our stay) going through each dish, the dining experience was serene and classy. Then again, you’d have high expectations when the hotel costs $1000 a night.

P.S. Anyone notice the paper “face mask case”?
