Lavish at H One

Being able to have a nice dinner is really great, but being able to enjoy a very LAVISH dinner is amazing! Last night I was able to enjoy some of my favorite dishes with my friends and family at the delicious and tasty H One. (Located in IFC 4/F HK Island)

We always start off with the bread basket, and as much as I would like to skip it, I can never resist a hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven, basket full of forbidden carbs.

H-One Bread basket (Damn good)

Can you feel the excitement as we each get our own serving of gourmet Caviar...

served with wheat crackers and a mother-of-pearl spoon, perfecto!

First appetizer dish: a refreshing bite of fresh salmon salad.

Up on the Hill (Taipei)

On the second day in Taipei, our good friend took us a little further away from the main district of the city and near the outskirts where it was beautiful! The area was surrounded by hills and mountains and the food was very good too!

This is where we ate!

YUMMY Chicken (live chicken from the restaurant's own Chicken farm)

Veggies served cold, you rip of each leaf and dip in sauce then eat it like a carrot stick!

Veggies!

Mini fried shrimp, tastes like popcorn!

Crunchy Veggies!

More Veggies!

SOME MEAT! And really good stuff too...

Then for dinner we went to this restaurant called Gi Yuan Restaurant. It was famous for their large pots of Chicken and Shark's Fin soup. Tel. 2708-3110-3

It was good but I only took a pic of the dessert, whoops!

Their dessert was fried red bean crispy pancake...mmmm

After dinner, we went to DETAIL for some pre-clubbing drinks~ haha

Detail is located at 1/F, no. 71, lane 161, sec 1, dun hua s rd, Taipei. Tel: 02-27752277

I ordered a special cocktail created originally by the bartender HERSELF!
