GO! CURRY – Neo Soho Mall

Go! Curry has opened their new branch at Neo Soho Mall, Jakarta and we give it a try when they have a special opening promo 20% off for all food and beverage. Go! Curry located on 4th floor of Neo Soho Mall. The place is quite small with minimalist design and wooden furniture. To be honest, our first impression is not good since the place is cramped and even difficult to walk among sidelines of tables when it’s full.

[TAIWAN] SHILIN NIGHT MARKET (士林夜市) – Taipei

Taipei is inarguably one of the top street food cities in the world. Taiwan is known as the land of snacks: they have literally invented and re-invented genre after genre of snack food over the years. From pearl tea to fried chicken, the Taiwanese are all about inventing and perfecting the ultimate snack foods. The catch with Taipei street food, though, is that almost all of it is nocturnal. You can find some stalls during the day but 99% of the street food options don’t come out until late afternoon and evening when the night markets begin to spring to life. We visited Taiwan in January 2016 and visited one of the must-visit night markets in Taipei, Shilin Night Market  (士林夜市)
