June 17th is Father’s Day in many western countries, and we’re celebrating with a Beach Day at the Fu Bar on Fulong Beach! We’ll be starting the day at the beach and finish with a barbecue, South African style! The Fu Bar is offering us a special meal deal: [quote=“Grillmaster”]Hi all,
We usually do a buffet service for groups but I think it is going to be a little difficult to predict numbers for this one. So, we’ll do platters for you guys instead. We’ll prepare something similar to the Hunter’s Platter and a Pita 5 Platter for every 4 people who attend. That would usually be NT$2,350 but we’ll do it for the event for NT$2,000 or NT$500 per person. We have quite a few vegetarian options on the pitas and each platter comes with a Fu Bar salad and mashed potato or mielie pap* too.

Cash bar but we’ll put together some special cocktails for you guys too at a special price.
*Mielie Pap = Africa’s staple diet, made from white corn flour. Eaten as a porridge for breakfast and as the main part of the meal for lunch and dinner. Similar to polenta or grits. We serve it with a tomato/onion based sauce. Yummy. And makes you big and strong.[/quote]
And good news - we’ve got a full-sized bus! So if you were wondering about how you’d get there, wonder no more! :discodance:
The bus will pick up people at 11:45 from the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station (departure at 12:00) and leave Fulong at 8:00 pm to go back to Taipei. Go to and from the beach in air-conditioned comfort! The cost will be $350 per bum (return trip). Obviously, babies that don’t require a seat ride for free.
Please contact vanessa@taiwanease.com if you want to reserve a seat - first come, first served!
Hurrah! It’s a sunny day! I’ve got two new frisbees, a cooler of beer, two beach umbrellas and a surfboard (although I don’t think I’ll be using it - more likely it’ll be me towing the kids around on it.)
Beach umbrellas can be rented right next to the Fu Bar, so if you don’t have one, don’t worry - we’ve got you, um, covered, lol.
If you need comfortable, convenient, DIRECT transportation, you should know that we have a bus, with lots of storage room for beach chairs, strollers, coolers, umbrellas, even surfboards! The bus leaves from Exit 3 of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall MRT Station on the blue line at 12:00. Please try to show up by 11:45. If you haven’t reserved your seat on the bus YET, please call Vanessa at 0923-668-111 to avoid disappointment.
Oh, and this just in - because it seems there’s good number of us, Fu Bar is going to close its doors to outside business to focus on us! They’re also changing the meal deal - NT$500/plate for adults, NT$200/plate for kids 2-12, kids under 2 eat free. You all know Fu Bar and the kind of spread Etienne puts on - this will be a good feed, with good company.
The most exciting aspect of this excursion is that jimipresley will be in attendance! If you were previously reticent about attending, you now have a perfectly valid excuse for shrugging off your usual Sunday ennui! :discodance:
