You can NEVER believe that sashimi can be so much BETTER.

When you are in Taipei, drop your clothes and get to Shen Wang Hotel - all you need is a camera and a credit card.



We paid about NT5000 for 2. (excluding the dog - he can't eat human food) for sashimi this fresh, you know you get what you pay for.

The favourite - Japanese Yellow Tail Sashimi! I compared it with the Yellow Tail from Japanese Dining S*n and HELLLLLOOOOOOO.... JDS has a Looooooooooooog way to go!

Just look at the sushi presentation! We were having some troubles trying to take a photo of the whole length of the plate! Every dish that came never failed to amaze us... like part of the money we had to part was in good exchange for awakening our 6 senses...

and the most expensive dish of all..... at S$20 for this little piece of sushi.... TORO! Tuna belly with lots and lots of fish fats and being the most expensive dish of all, the Chef had to top it with a bit of gold leaf for decoration! but behold!!!! do not small see this gold leaf - The gold is a very, very thin sheet of 22-25 karat gold that is safe to eat. (Googled the facts) Scientists have claimed that eating gold would increase your IQ... which i think had some effect on both of us... coz we manage to find out way back despite the sake.

FYI: This is my 24th birthday treat. Thank you!

To all aspiring Taiwan Travellers... you'll enjoy Taiwan! Await my next blog entry till then!
