Writer’s Workshop: Xtremely Refreshing Scene

At the Man Made Lake in  Taiwan

At the Man Made Lake in Taiwan

It’s fall and the colors around us have changed. There are lesser greens but more browns and reds as we move towards winter.

Being in Asia the changes in scenery is more subtle as we do have evergreens in our region. It was nice that I was able to visit a lake  and enjoy it’s tranquility .

It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and be engulfed by nature.  It was a rare  opportunity  for me to be seated  down on a bench at the lake side to admire the scenery in front of me.

Seeing the ripples on the surface of the water and listening to the chirping of the birds in the tree temporarily  transported me away from the stresses of city living and emptied up my mind of the troubling thoughts that had been clouding it.

It was great not to think about anything and just let myself Stone out. I felt so calm and rested even though it  was a  extremely hot being at the lake  during noon.

Feeling the warmth  of the sun rays  which had heated up the bench made me think about all the  opportunities that I have had this year. How blessed I have been to be able to meet new people and go places while travelling .

What is your favourite  view this fall?

During our recent trip to Taiwan  I had the chance to check out some breakfast cafes with Tiger girl. Here is one that we really liked.

Oven Cafe 

台北市萬華區成都路55號1樓 Taipei, Taiwan

It was a really cosy place  and I loved how retro the decorations were at the cafe.

This huge teddy bear drew Tiger girl’s attention to the cafe and she happily walked in when she spotted it.

Our breakfast

We ordered waffle with ice-cream and toast with strawberry jam for breakfast.   Both were extremely tasty and yummy and not really expensive as breakfast only cost us @ NT$300.

Beef Noodles

We took the subway to town for some shopping and decided on beef noodles for lunch. The servings were really huge and both of us were full after sharing this bowl .

( I didn’t take note of the restaurant we had our meal as we were starving by then .)

Steak with black pepper sauce

At dinner time I was craving for some steak so we went to the famous Mr Onion Steak restaurant which was located near we were staying.

The food was really very reasonably priced as a  7 course set meal cost only NT$550. There were 18 selections of main course + salad, bread, appetizer, soup, dessert and drink.

I didn’t manage to take pictures of all the different courses as I both of us were happily eating when the food arrived at our table.
