【食記】台中 - 花現鳥地方＆藍色東海－il Giardino Romantico

I remember feeling dubious about starting a new life in Taichung. Although I'd lived here for four years during uni, and I liked the place a lot, I had been unsure about living here. After a while, I really started to like it here. I have friends here. Friends I could meet up with regularly. Even friends from up north and down south find it easier to meet here, half way in between. This was one of the dinners that had no agenda, but just a simple reunion of old friends. I'd actually been here once before, but unfortunately without my camera. This time, I made sure my camera was ready. This way, I get to share with everyone.

記得當開始對台中的新生活感到非常的困惑。雖然大學時代曾再這住過四年，但還是對於在這裡生活感到非常的不安。過了一陣子之後，我發現我非常喜歡這裡的生活。因為我在這有許多朋友，可以常常碰面。即使北部與南部的朋友，也覺得在中部見面不是一件難事。這天這餐沒有什麼特別的目的。存脆是老朋友的聚會。雖然來過一次，但第一次沒帶相機。這次爲了要與大家分享，有確定相機在身上才出門。

There is a wide range of choices of restaurants near Tunghai area, and honestly, it's really hard to choose a venue from all the available choices. This was a good one. I hope you can tell from the pictures.

東別地區有許多餐廳供選擇，不過選擇聚會地點真的是一大難題。不過希望透過照片，大家也可以明白為何這天選擇這間是個非常不錯的抉擇。

Outdoor seating. 戶外座位。

Pasta 義大利麵。

Vegetarian hot pot. 蔬食火鍋。

Everything vegetarian. 都是素的～

Another pot. 也是鍋。

Diary pot. 牛奶鍋。

After meal tea. 餐後茶。

Blue Tunghai. 藍色東海。

I think it's just vodka lemonade (sprite) with a bit of blue food colouring... But looks exotic, doesn't it!

喝起來像是伏特加加雪碧（當然還有一點藍色色素）。不過看起來挺有異國風情的呀！

So no beer for me that night.

這晚，救不用啤酒了。
