Wang Hai Tin Seafood Restaurant (望海亭海鲜餐馆) at Yeh Liu (野柳), Taiwan

After about an hour+ drove from Taipei, we reached Yeh Liu (野柳). Well, our purpose was to visit the Famous Yeh Liu Geopark. But before that, we had our lunch in this Wang Hai Tin Seafood Restaurant (望海亭海鲜餐馆) (N25.20421 E121.69038) which is not far away from the Geopark.

Wang Hai Tin Seafood Restaurant at Yeh Liu

Live seafood...

I was attracted by some 'Giant' around the corner...

Giant crab!

Giant sea snail, big?

Our seafood lunch had been pre-arrange and once we stepped in, the restaurant started to prepare our meals...

The internal decoration of Wang Hai Tin Seafood Restaurant. Clean!

Ok, these were what we had...

Cabbage

Cucumber and squids

Sea snails

Steam prawns with Wasabi (ワサビ(山葵)

Steam Fish. It was Fresh!


Lobster


Overall, the foods were Fantastic! I like almost every dishes on the table. Especially the fish, sea snails and the steam prawn with Wasabi (First time tasted). We really enjoy our lunch and we took almost 2 hours to finished it. :)

As I noticed the price tag on the tank outside the restaurant, seems like the prices of the seafoods here are very reasonable and affordable!

Verdict : 4.5/5 (overall)

Do drop by the restaurant if you are happen to be around.

Osan is cloudy this morning and it looks wet outside. Current temp at 9am is 26C

Yesterday's trip to Seoul was good, visited a friend and had some great lunch, the whole meal and all side orders were mushroom based! Did some shopping in a dive center and made it on my own back to Osan in the subway, which was a challenge in it self.

Later today I'm on the plane back to Bangkok!

Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 3rd August, 2011

Today's weather;

Samui is gearing up for a nice day and the sun is getting ready to warm things up. Current temp at 7am is 27.3C

Yesterday saw a warm day on Samui with plenty of sunshine but also with a shower around 6pm. Max temp reached 32.2C


Osan is back to clouds and drizzle, there were two drizzle showers since I woke up but in-between them I could enjoy a run with the sun even popping out for a moment. Current temp at 9am is 26C

Variation on a theme

Yesterday saw a trip to Seoul for some extreme shopping. We went by subway, the ride from Osan to Seoul took an hour and a half but costed less than 60,-THB or 1.5 Euro. Pretty amazing. Seoul was crowded, at least the shopping area where we went to.

Today I will go back to the big city to meet up with PADI's regional manager, MR Boo Kyung Kim and some more shopping is in place, this time for more PADI and dive related items.
