My main reason for visiting Taipei this time was to catch up with an old friend: Sasa Sushi, a Michelin Plate Japanese restaurant I've been frequenting since around 2017. It's conveniently located right across from the Regent, just a two-minute walk away. Since I have a good relationship with the owners, I often bring my calligraphy, paintings, and ceramics for the manager to admire, as both the manager and head chef are quite knowledgeable about such art. This time, I brought a set of four landscape paintings by Fu Baoshi, previously collected by Beijing Rong Bao Zhai, to display. They looked quite good in the restaurant, as you can see in the photos. After dinner, I returned to the hotel to enjoy the evening performance by the resident singer. The hotel's bedding, air conditioning, and everything else are excellent, making for a very comfortable stay, which is why I'm a frequent guest.
