2011-2012 New Year Party at HK InterContinental Hotel 香港洲際飯店跨年

新年快樂!!! Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!!!

今天全家一起來香港跨年。之前都來不及訂跨年餐，所以媽媽姐姐還有我吃完半島的下午茶後決定來洲際酒店看看。這裡地點很棒，特色是緊連著維多利亞港又有整面落地窗，港邊的大廈會來個掛年煙火和燈光秀之類的（和１０１類似），所以也是相當搶手的場地。(但結論是１０１大勝！）

French Macaron at Ladurée

I absolutely adore French Macarons and finally got a chance to visit this place now. Ladurée is an old French pastry shop and it is almost 150 years now. And Finally opened a NYC location not too long ago.

Here was my 1st stop of 2011 Fall New Haven Restaurant week. Pacifico is one of my favorite places in New Haven and I went there for a Sunday lunch with Sahr. This place serves really good seafood in town, and I've come here many times.

Lunch at 潮桂 鐵板燒 Tepenyaki (hibashi) Tasting Menu--Taipei

Address:台北市敦化南路一段200號（忠孝東路口, Taipei, TAIWAN)
Website:http://www.parentsrestaurant.com.tw/cate.html

I've never had hibashi/tepenyaki dining experience in the US, but according to my friends, the chef just had to interact with the dinners. I am not sure I will enjoy that. However, when you go to such restaurant in Taiwan, you never have to worry about that. Chef only prepares your food and asked you about how do you like to done or any additional seasoning. Other than that, you can still talk to your friends.
