this monday night, i was taking a walk with my girl friend on the campus of a famous university near Muja. It was a very great night. the tempwerature was mild because of passing typhoon in the south. I originally thought the typhoon would bring much rain and fierce wind, so i might have a typhoon holiday. However, it seemed that this mid-level typhoon wasn't going to satisfy our wish. So we didn't have a day off and had to work as normal.
If you are a visitor in Taiwan, es[ecially when a typhoon hits, you might notice that the sky before and after the typhoon will clear up, revealing the most azure sky ever. That night had the same effect. Though the sun has set, but the sky was clear. It was a nice walk and the campus was kind of deserted since it's summer vacation now. We heard nothing but the cicadas' songs and the laughter of kids racing around the campus on their bicycles.
Walked about two hours and we found out that this restaurant in the building beside the newly-built swimming pool. The restaurant is call Ken & Richard's. It is a American style restaurant, serving snacks, burgers, pasta, a variety of beer, and wine. And the most imortant of all, the food is offered at reasonable price. Because the main consumers of the restaurant are students and staff of the university. During semester, the restaurant is opened until mid-night, while during vacation it's opened only until nine. What a pity, planned to stay later to enjoy the beer and snacks.
OK, when food arrived, I was quite satisfied with the amount of them. There were a pile of giant fried onion rings, and a full basket of fries. I had a belgian beer call Dragon Beer. It is a 10% alcohol beverage that has a fragrant smell and creamy taste. The taste is a perfect balanced combination of sweetness and acidity. It is stimulating, but definitely put a smile on my face. The onion rings are delicious and crispy when hot. They're always greasy when cold, so eat them before thy get cold. The onions are very sweet and have a crispy crumb. The fries are made in V-shaped and deep fried with skin. Seasoned with raw salt, they are a delicacy to go with the stimulating beer. Great combination! But they might be fattening, so maybe another walk after this.
So, we left at nine o'clock, though having some compalints to the waiter. Because he kept syaing they're closing at nice sharp. They have to clean the cups and everything before hand, bla bla... We didn't argue with him because we thought he might be just a student or son. Besides that, the restaurant offered a great place to go at night.
