- Peter Chang added a new meal First dinner at Logy at logy with Deb Orah
First time trying this Taipei outpost of Florilege of Tokyo fame, which uses many, many local Taiwanese ingredients and flavors. Delicious. Will be back.

- Peter Chang added a new meal First dinner at JL STUDIO at JL Studio with Deb Orah
A very happy dinner for my first visit. Lots of Singaporean flavors re-interpreted in a modern style.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Dinner with Mr. OAD at Neighborhood
The boss pulls out all the stops when Mr. Plotnicki comes to town. An amazing feast that threatened to put me in the emergency room of a hospital from having too much food.

Many dishes were much too rich and heavy, and there was gratuitous use of "Asian" ingredients and flavors without the kitchen actually understanding them. Total FAIL.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Dinner at Bencotto at Bencotto
pretty nice dinner with the "La percezione, ricostruire la realta" tasting menu. Front half of the meal was better than the latter half.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Shit dinner at Rùn at Rùn
A totally disappointing dinner at this new restaurant. Just about everything went wrong - too dry, too greasy

Back for another meal, and able to try a few more new dishes this time. Still gotta have that panna cotta, though.

- Peter Chang added a new meal flaming tongue dinner at Sorn with Gerhard Huber
First visit. Decided to "man up" and take dishes at their "regular" level of spiciness. Big mistake. My tongue was on fire even before finishing starters. I almost cried from the pain. I understand spiciness adds a different dimension but from my perspective, beyond a certain level is just too much.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Thai lunch with Herr Huber at Paste with Gerhard Huber
My second visit here was also with a reasonably large group, which enabled us to try many dishes. Repeated some delicious classics while getting a taste of new offerings.
