Night Owl (7) - Micasa

【Micasa】

Address: B1, No. 277, Sec. 2, Dunhua S. Rd, Taipei (Close to MRT Liuzhangli Station)

Entrance: 400 NTD for girls, 600 NTD for guys for an open Bar

Thinking you’ve got a latino in your soul? Wondering where the latinos have gone in Taipei? Well, Micasa is the club for you.

Starting from Barrio, Hips, until the Micasa now, for years the club has been adding a pinch of latin flavor on top of the lively night life in Taipei. Every weekend, besides the general pop you can hear everywhere, Micasa also brings us other alternatives from Salsa, bachata, merengue to Caribbean Reggae and reggaeton.

Drink-wise, it offers up to 30 different kinds of drinks: Margarita, Cuba Libre, tequila shot, all you can drink( if you can take it) the whole night. Another worth mentioning is their finger-licking food coming from the chef from the reputatious latin restaurant “El Gallo”.

So next time, when you feel like some latin passion, save your ticket to Cuba. Check out Micasa, it will assure you the best latin experience in Taipei.

The Cat's Travel Guide: Shenkeng (深坑)

*Why you should go to Shenkeng?

Check out the old street and eat local food. Also, Shenkeng has been identified with "TOFU", people even call it "The Tofu Capital" of Taiwan. Beside trying the best tofu in this country, what else I should say?

*How to get there?

By Bus and Subway

You can take the subway to Gong Guan station on green line, then take the bus number 660 and get off at Shenkeng stop; also you can just take the bus 236 from either Taipei Main Station or wherever, then get off at the last stop.

P.S

Shenkeng is a cool town to visit, but probably not that kind of place you should hang out for 1 day. So we strongly suggest that beside visiting Shenkeng, you check out the area close by, such as the AMAZING Taipei Zoo. Think about it: after the stop at the zoo, you probably don't want to eat any more meat after watching those creatures happily jumping around. At this moment, nothing is better than a silky, warm plate of tofu showing up on your dinning table, isn't it?

Walk on the Wild side (3) : Meal 8

【Meal 8】

Address: 1F., No.26, Ln. 40, Taishun St., Da’an Dist., Taipei City 106, Taiwan

Surrounded by the boutiques and western cafes on the edges of the ShiDa night market, this small glass-front shop lines its shelves with enough knick-knacks and gewgaws to satisfy even the most obscurantist pop-culture aficionado. These nostalgic treasures, seemingly out of the cereal boxes of the 1980s and collector catalogs from Hollywood, include everything from Max Headroom pins to more Star Wars kitsch than you could shake a lightsaber at.

A perfect fit for ShiDa's endless love of the lowbrow, Meal 8 also can complete whatever look you might have cobbled together from the hordes of streetside vendors. What's particularly cool here are the accessories--lots and lots of earrings, sunglasses, rings, and necklaces, all in that style that just somehow unites your grandmother with fine arts majors. Check it out--you just might rediscover your childhood and unearth your inner John Waters.
