Oh my poor blog. I've neglected you for over a month, but it doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about you. I've just been traveling (LA, SF, Vegas, Hong Kong, Guam) and away from my computer. I can blog from my phone, but it just takes longer. Not to mention I have been busy with the very important exploration of recipes for my new slow cooker, watching the last season of American Idol, new episodes of the Good Wife, Scandal, Grey's, Younger, and getting some sleep.
So how to ease back into it? I want to post pictures of the new winter menu at RAW, dishes from Mume's one year birthday dinner, long due photos of Achoi, or about new spots in Taipei to get steak frites, chicken and waffles, deep dish pizza, and cheesy fried squid korean rice cakes. There have a been a slew of new-ish burger, steak and fusion cafes the past few months. Or updated pictures from the night markets, some posts which need updates badly. And SO MANY SUSHI BARS to write about. Or a food court round up. My indecision results in procrastination which leads to over a month of staring at the Hello Kitty Shabu post. Sigh Sigh Sigh. This is when I have at least 100 places in my drafts folder, some places that sadly closed since my last restaurant round up. Ok let's start with that.. and then see if we can get the motivation back.

Ah, well if Grey's Anatomy is preventing you from writing, that's ok in my book.
You can do it! Your posts have really helped me acclimate to Taipei since moving here in September, so I want to say thanks (and no pressure)!
Cindy: thanks for your comment! I have a couple of drafts going on! What are your favorite places to eat at so far?
I wanna play! I wanna play! For dumpling wrappers, I'm going to guess squid ink, pumpkin, tomato, squash, spinach, and plain. There's one I'm not sure about that looks kind of grey. Maybe 仙草?
Hmm Addiction Aquatic is probably on the top of the list, and my friend saw Uncle's on your Instagram, so we really enjoyed that too. I also like the cozy Bistro O in the Shida Night Market, and can't forget Snow King Ice Cream, which is in a category all on its own!
I need to pick a restaurant for a romantic dinner with my girlfriend for my birthday. Help Hungrygirl!
@peter- haha western or Asian? Try Mortons Steakhouse (killer view) or Le Blanc (budget friendly) for steak.. Botega Del Vin or Tutto Bello for pasta and cheesecake.. Sushi bar for Japanese -- maybe Cuisine M or Sen Sushi.. I would go to any of those places for a birthday..
