At April 17th, after going to an eye doctor around MRT Zhongxiao Fixing Station, my mom and I decided to have a break in the middle of midterm. Situated behind SOGO, BELLE EPOQUE is a bistro which sells pasta, desserts and some drinks. Although the room may be small, the food there is great. Last time here, I ordered a dish of seafood pasta with tomato sauce and a big plate of cheese and spicy meat sauce with French fries. Due to the joyful experience of last time, I feel like trying one of its specialties this time. So, we ordered pearl milk tea pancakes. It could be out of imagination to try it first time ever. The pancakes have been dipped into some caramel milk tea. And the cream sauce is like milk tea with whipping cream. But it's not too sweet to enjoy the dessert even for my mom. If you like pancakes and Taiwanese pearl milk tea, this is the dessert you shouldn't miss.

Lovely Desserts
I have to admit that I'm certainly a dessert person. Everytime I go out for meal, it always end with a fabulous dessert which makes me too full. I'm not a sweet-lover, however. Dark chocolate is usually more fulfiling than milk chocolate for me. Thus, the dessert doesn't have to be huge or super rich to make my meal completed. What it needs to possess are just multi-layer of taste and light flavor.
One night of this week, tired of studying, I went out to grab some interesting stuffs. One is from the Second Floor Bakery, and another is from 1789, which is a new dessert and coffee shop near my house. I have to say that the best cake that I've ever tasted in Taipei is this one, Oreo cheesecake sold at Second Floor Bakery. If you are a person who loved Oreo-related products, you must try it. The cake not only consists cheesecake which the bakery is famous for, but also Oreo on top and below the cake. The flavor is sort of light but tasty, made me enjoy the time sharing with my mom. Another dessert that I tried this time is from 1789, which is a French dessert shop named after the year of French evolution. The dessert there is super tiny but expensive. I picked one with blueberry and one with caramel. It's kind of hard to explain what the desserts are exactly; nevertheless, they are something made of pastry and flavored custard that I've never seen before. What I could say only is that they're like luxurious puffs. It taste different and lighter, but the ingredients look alike.

Dinner at Wulao after the Scandal of Deceiving Customers
Since Wulao restaurant is near my neighborhood, I've always wanted to give it a try for seeing it full of people every time I pass by. Thus, even after the scandals that the chain restaurants of that company have provided artificial ingredients which they claimed to be natural, I consider the restaurant worth a try to anyway. During the holiday, my family decided to have a dinner at the restaurant. Surprisingly, maybe because of either the scandals or Tomb Sweeping festival, there's still table for us to make a reservation an hour before we went.
We ordered twin-side hot spot, which consisted of spicy and regimen soup on each side. The ingredients that added to the hot spot are all sold separately. Therefore, it mithy cost you a lot if we like to enjoy an all-you-can eat kind of meal. The sliced beaf and pork we ordered is pretty fresh. Also, the soup came great with all the ingredients. It's neither too salty nor light.
The meal was great and the atmosphere was good for those who want to have a decent dinner with friends or family. The service there was really great like others have mentioned, but I guess it won't be an option for me when it comes to having a satisfying meal next time.
