I had met up with Nick and a friend of his earlier for dinner and he brought me to eat... Hainanese Chicken Rice! Yes and it's the same as what you get in Singapore! Especially the chilli... ummmmm I miss the chilli already... not all eating places here provide chilli and those that provide the sweet kind of chilli sauce. Nick says that kind of sauce is usually just bought from the supermarket. Anyway, the chicken rice stall is opened at the food court of Taipei 101 building and by a Singaporean as well. It costs NTD 150 (about SGD 7) for a chicken thigh set (with oyster sauce vegetables) but it's a huge portion.
So after that first dinner, we went to meet the other LCPs (Nick, Sandra, Eric, Elissa, Hugo and Marty) and headed to Yang Ming Shan for our second dinner! It's amazing! I'll let the photos speak for me.
This is what the restaurant looks like. They have an indoor section where the wooden hut is, the downstairs section is for BBQ meals.
On the left side of the wooden hut, it's the rest of the outdoor space. The tables closest to the fenced balcony are heart shaped and so, ideal for couples looking for a nice romantic spot to enjoy dinner. :)There's a small protruding platform where you get an amazing view of Taipei at night.

Because we were sitting outdoors to enjoy the scenary, it also meant we were in the cold (about 18 Degrees last night). So they have portable heaters. You can't really see the flames here cos of the lighting but they are there, and quite effective! Later the restaurant even provided blankets for us :)
The food is really good too and totally worth it for big groups! They ordered the set for 6 to 8 people, which comprises 6 bowls of rice, 6 dishes you can pick from a list of about 20 and a soup served with the stove so it stays boiling. All for about SGD 20 per person. Considering the location, the scenary, the ambience and all, I'll say that's a really decent price to pay.
