{Taipei} Aranzi Aronzo Cafe 阿郎基阿龍佐咖啡館

I've heard so much about the Aranzi Aronzo cafe
that I willingly stood in line
outside the cafe even before it had opened.
What's all the hype about?
We are about to enter
the adorable world of Aranzi Aronzo
and find out for ourselves~
這輩子第一次在店家還沒有開門

就坐在外面排隊的經驗

就獻給阿郎基阿龍佐咖啡館

(我們是第三位進去的歐~自豪!)

我們一起來進入

阿郎基阿龍佐的可愛世界吧~

Store manager is Shiro Usa
she is my favorite character.
店長是我最喜歡的白兔妹

Looking up as we walked in
we were greeted by
the Aranzi Aronzo characters.
走進去抬起頭
所有的阿郎基阿龍佐成員
在天花板上和我們招手

Shiro Usa, Kuro Usa and Panda
白兔妹,黑兔妹和熊貓
灑小花熱情歡迎

Kappa is already full
while Panda is still eating
吃飽的河童
和嘴巴滿滿的熊貓

I wonder what ideas

Warumono is cooking up?

坐在櫃子上的壞東西

很想知道他的小腦袋裡面

正在打什麼奇怪的主意.

Their food presentation is super cute too!

Panda's Iced Cafe Latte
with Kappa sitting in the background
他們的食物也超級可愛的!
熊貓家的冰拿鐵咖啡
後面瞧見河童出沒~

Warumono's Tricky Ice Cream Pancake

壞東西亂搞的焦糖冰淇淋熱鬆餅

Kuro Usa's Cafe Mocha

黑兔妹的咖啡摩卡

Shiro Usa fruit cake
白兔妹水果蛋糕

We made a short video

about eating the Shiro Usa fruit cake.

Watch it until the very end to see

the picture on the plate!

因為兔子蛋糕實在是太可愛了,

我們還特地做了小影片.

看到最後就能瞧見盤子上的"驚喜"噢!

{Taipei} Zhongshan district 中山區

Every time I'm in Taipei
I will pay a visit to Zhongshan district
Besides the countless coffee shops,
cute boutique stores,
and the historical Guan Dian theater,
Zhongshan district is a good place to wander.
During your wanderings you might encounter..

每當回去台北
總是一個人去中山區
走走,晃晃
除了小巷子中數不清的咖啡館
和令人流連忘返的小店鋪
讓人懷舊的光點戲院
中山區是個讓我在城市中
迷失自己的好地方

Colorful rabbits
在城市中,遇見兔子

Snails having a race
蝸牛賽跑

Owl having a cup of coffee
喝咖啡的貓頭鷹

Bear reading a book
while taking a bath

浴缸中泡澡看書的熊

Family outing for the chicken family
雞媽媽帶全家出遊

Deer hiding in the concrete forest

躲在水泥森林中的小鹿

Rabbit on a blackboard

在黑板揮手的小兔

And the family of musical robots in the park

住在公園中的機器人家族

{Taipei} 好丘 Good Cho's

Good Cho's is a hidden gem

right in the heart of modern Taipei.

Nestled in a cluster of renovated

traditional Taiwanese buildings,

located right next to

the modern Taipei 101,

Good Cho's brings together Taiwan's

history, art, music, food, literature

and handmade goods.

在台北101旁,

有個被保存很好的老地方,

這裡提倡台灣的

歷史,藝術,音樂,食物和手工藝品

把古和今,中與西結合在一起.

這裡是"好,丘"

Hand drawn lucky red posters

(we call them "chun lian" in Chinese,

traditionally used around Chinese New Year)

充滿喜感的手繪春聯

Pop up post card

showing customers lining up to order

I find it quite humorous because...

立體明信片

客人全部排排站等著點菜

我覺得這張卡很有趣因為...

It is exactly like the real thing.
To the right of the large wooden counter
are their famous handmade bagels.
Menus are drawn on the black boards.
Good Cho's offers a wide range of
Western-Chinese fusion cuisine
that you probably won't find anywhere else.
They also have a solid coffee, tea
and dessert selection.
它和現實的樣子真的一模一樣.
長長的木頭櫃檯右側
擺放著他們有名的貝果.
後面的一排小黑板寫著菜單.
好,丘的料理結合了
東方和西方創意料理
他們也提供咖啡,茶與甜點.
