My name is Finemakers.

Have you ever visited a famous Taiwanese restaurant, Koki Ryokoan? This is a prestigious Taiwanese restaurant that is well known to both locals and tourists alike.
"Ta-a noodles" in the name of the restaurant is Tainan's specialty dish, which is made by adding noodles to a miso-style soup made from shrimp and topped with pork soboro and onions.
Ingredients and samples for cooking are placed at the entrance of the store. Even if you don't speak Chinese, you can order by pointing.
You can specify how to cook the ingredients, but if you are not particular about it, we recommend leaving it to the store.

This time I got a menu like this.
・ Bitter melon 40 yuan ・ Good luck tofu 120 yuan ・ Bamboo steamer gourd 250 yuan ・ Salted duck egg 150 yuan I chose beer for drinks!

It is said that Taiwanese cuisine is based on Fujian cuisine, but it has developed independently by incorporating the Taiwanese climate and rich ingredients. It is relatively popular with Japanese customers because it is seasoned with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes and uses less oil than Chinese food in other regions.
There are many popular menus, so please stop by when you come to Taiwan.

Good luck, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, No. 79, Jinlin Road Business Hours: 11: 00-14: 30, 17: 00-0: 00

[Smoking is prohibited in all hawkers in Japan]

Singapore's Ministry of Sustainability and Fisheries (MSE) has announced a policy to ban smoking in all hawker center dining spaces in Singapore. MSE Minister Grace Fu said in a written meeting on the 4th that the plan is to protect eaters from second-hand smoke and create a more comfortable eating environment.
As of December 2020, 27 of the 114 hawker centers in the country have smoking areas, Fu said. These smoking areas appear to be phased out by repairs and refurbishments.

[Singapore is in the middle of the rainy season]

Even in 2021, the weather continues in Singapore. Rainfall did not stop from New Year's Day to the 2nd, and the rainfall observed in the Changi area exceeded the average rainfall in January in these two days alone.
Heavy rainfall of 210.6 mm was observed from noon to 7:00 pm on January 2.
Prior to the 2nd, the Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA) predicted that the rainfall on the 2nd would be the top 1% of the daily rainfall in the record for the past 39 years. I did.
The low temperature also stands out. According to NEA, the lowest temperature on the 2nd was 7 pm, 21.1 degrees Celsius in Newton. This was lower than expected at around 23-33 degrees. Singapore is a place where you can spend all year long with short sleeves, but recently there have been days when it feels chilly, and many people wear sweaters and long sleeves.
Heavy rains and low temperatures may continue in February and March.

Title: Happy New Year!

Taiwan has three consecutive holidays from last Friday to the year-end and New Year holidays.
How do you all spend your holidays?
Last year was a really difficult year.
There is a New Year's Eve event once a year,
Due to the influence of the coronavirus, the number of participants in the New Year's Eve event in Taipei has decreased considerably.

I didn't go there either
Just because you can see 101 from the balcony

I've been shooting fireworks!

I just hope that I can successfully suppress the virus as soon as possible.

Happy New Year. I look forward to working with you again this year.
On New Year's Eve, Bali was full of Indonesian customers for the first time in a while, and there were places where traffic jams occurred in the downtown area. There are no fireworks launches or countdown parties, and Bali has reached an unprecedented quiet start.
Although the number of corona infections is still increasing, we will continue to take measures to prevent infection and make efforts to revitalize and revive Bali. Step by step forward!
