We went to lunch at a most unusual (to us) restaurant on the slopes of Yangming Mountain. It seemed Japanese to me, but the folks with us were divided on this... Japanese influenced, fusion, Asian. There is a real love hate with Japanese culture here, which is understandable given the recent history of occupation (which I only learned about this visit- 1895-1945) Anyhow, we had to remove our shoes, and each table was separated from the other by bamboo dividers, and each had a view of the mountainside. Stringed music, Asian, soothing played in the background, and once again, the dishes kept coming..
This is a quick video of a dried lotus blossom being added to a chicken soup to enhance the flavors. It's Sun-chieh explaining to us.
