Although the set meal portions were small, the quality was very high, and the staff provided excellent service. The hot pot ingredients ordered separately were also of very high quality, making it good value for money. The restaurant was spacious and not cramped.
It saves time because you don't have to buy tickets. I also bought an EasyCard (which can also be used on the MRT) to ride the bus, and it was a relief to be able to get on and off without worrying about the fare. I'm not sure if I used it enough to make it worthwhile, but it's probably a good idea for those who go to the furthest stations on the MRT and get on and off frequently. The first hurdle was figuring out where to pick it up, but I got it from a station attendant at a glass-enclosed, circular information counter-like place next to one of the ticket gates at Taipei Main Station. It was basically a matter of showing the voucher and saying "one day free pass, please."
Beauty Magic, a salon in Nishimachi, was great! They gave me three different hairstyles during the shampoo, and the scalp acupressure massage was fantastic! It was really firm, but not painful, and felt great! The finishing touches after the shampoo were also good!
They are very dedicated and professional, and it's also great for kids to experience. The teaching, guidance, and interactive methods used by the staff make it very relaxing, and the tapping is very stress-relieving. The finished products are beautiful and the atmosphere is wonderful. I highly recommend coming here for hands-on activities.
