They are: Vanilla Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting and almond topping (see picture above) and Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream cheese Frosting (see can kind of see the cupcake at the top right corner of the picture.)

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.

Dinner at 德壽司 (Japanese Sushi Bar)

Address:100台北市大安區市民大道四段136之3號 ( Taipei, TAIWAN)

Oh Man! I haven't updated the blog for so long. I have been really busy with school and job searching. Plus, I was recovering from wisdom tooth surgery and that prevent me from eating real food (oh, so sad.) Thanks to my generous sister, she treated me to this sushi bar after my final dental appointment for wisdon tooth. This place is so good that I had to skipped my Boston trip with RCSIII and write about this first. (I'll go back to the 2 great place I went with RCSIII later.)

YEAH!!! It's Friday again!!! Steve, Elissa, Brandon, Laura, Kate, RCSIII and I bought the WNBA ticket long time ago and finally the game is on. It's between Seattle STORM & Connecticut SUN. To be honest, I didn't know any players since I never watch WNABA, so I decided to cheer for Seattle since I loved the city and that's where Steve & RCSIII are from. But Before the game, we have to get dinner first.
