I bet one of the best thing to do in Taiwan is culinary adventure! Taiwan is famous for its xiao long bao and bubble milk tea, but Taiwan is more than that! I, myself, didn't know that Taiwan has a great Roasted Duck! Furthermore, who would think about having a High Tea in Taiwan? As we all know, High Tea is common in United Kingdom (and maybe some countries in Europe), but not in Taiwan. So luckily I could find those two things in Shangri-la Taipei!


There’re several restaurants in Shangri-la Taipei, and my favorite one is Shang Palace. This is where you could satisfy your tummy in a perfect way! The signature menu of this restaurant is its roasted duck cooked in two ways. This duck would be served as two dishes: sliced duck wrapped with pancake and braised duck bone soup with taro and milk! The chef itself would come, cut the duck in front of you, and served it just for you! Other than that, I really love its gastronomic dessert.

Not only that, you could spend some time having a lovely high tea featuring a Taipei 101 look-alike rack in Marcopolo Lounge on 38^th floor! It really is a perfect place to chill. Normally, this is a set for two, but I could finish it all by myself! The finger foods are so tiny so it's just feel right and won't make you fully loaded. Some petit cakes are theme-based. So you could find a different one depends on what's going on right now. In my case, I got the Christmas-themed cakes. The scones are delicious and I love to have it with the butter provided. the cookies are quite hard, but it's tasty! The bread pudding is lovely. Not to mention an enticing variety of drinks and cocktails!

First of all, Happy Valentine Day!

it’s been a while since my last post, and now I want to share about my incredible experience at Shangri-la Taipei! Located in the heart of Taipei as the tallest hotel in the capital city, this luxurious hotel is one of a kind!

I’m quite surprise when I arrived in my room, because the room is spacious, with a big and TV-enabled bathroom, furnished in contemporary décor and a great cleanliness! I got the one with Taipei 101 and panoramic city view right outside the window, it really is a jaw-dropping scenery! the bathroom amenities by L'Ocitanne is also provided, and it really made me enjoy my bubbly experience in this bathroom. The TV inside would make yourself more comfortable to spend much time here!

Furthermore, I got an exclusive access to the Horizon Club. This is the place where you could enjoy the spectacular views while having a delectable breakfast, all-day refreshments, and evening canapes and cocktails. Their a la carte menu are scrumptious, and my favorite one is its waffle! The waffle is juicy but soft at once. Kinda like a belgian style. It's sweet, but not too much, that's why I really like it. The staff here is so helpful and they would help you to get the best table with a best view. But in my own honest opinion, you could get a magnificent view from anywhere due to this round design. How could you resist to have a breakfast in this kind of scenery? In my own experience, a sip of tea while enjoying the view could make it even more refreshing than it used to be!

Shangri-la Taipei has a heated rooftop pool with Jacuzzi in it and it was unbelievably relaxing! the Rooftop pool itself located on 43^rd floor. This pool is open for all year round, and the size of the pool is quite big! Beside the pool, there’s a Taipei 101 viewing spot, which is one of my favorite place to enjoy the landscape of Taipei. And it really is the best spot to enjoy 360 view of Taipei from up above (even better than Taipei 101 observatory deck). The viewing spot is quite windy, though. so I should warn you to take good care of any loose item that you brought.

I really enjoy my stay at Shangri-La Taipei! I really couldn’t find any bad aspect of this grand hotel. The service, the room, the scenery, the restaurant, and everything else is just perfect! I really really recommend this hotel if you visited Taipei!! #ShangrilaTaipei #ShangrilaHotels
