Sightings: Milk Tea and Latte at the SpaceTime Cafe

Down by the Breeze Center, I was passing the time before a movie at the Space Time Cafe. It felt a bit like walking into an American vintage and resale shop… with cafe dogs!

SpaceTime09

SpaceTime06

Milk Tea 奶茶 is the Golden Retriever. (Incidentally, this is the texture when a Goldie grows back their coat after a summer shave.)

SpaceTime07

Latte is the Shiba (perhaps mix). They’re both a little older, with mellow temperaments and white faces.

SpaceTime10

I got a cursory sniff out of Latte, but mostly she didn’t pay me any mind. Typical.

SpaceTime08

SpaceTime12

The dessert and drink I ordered were, unfortunately, on the weak side. Also had some of the most perfunctory latte “art” I’d seen yet. I’d rather have had a stronger drink than this mysterious Rorschach test in milk, because I kept nodding off even while I was sipping my mug!

SpaceTime01SpaceTime02

I don’t think coffee-making is their main business priority. They seemed very interested in renting out the space itself for photo shoots, films, and other commercial ventures. Dogs may or may not be included as part of the rental fee.

SpaceTime05SpaceTime04SpaceTime11

Well, it’s an interesting business premise and use of space anyway. As long as the pups get to hang with their people all day and are kept in kibble (or whatever their diet of choice), I approve.

Sighting: Another Corgi at Pillow Cafe

I promise this is not turning into a Corgi blog. These are just very popular dogs in Taiwan. And yes, I’m still in Taiwan.

Anyway, here’s a quick hit-and-run update to sing the praises of Pillow Cafe, currently one of my top five favorite Taipei cafes (a list which gets rearranged every week, it seems). They are named thus for the super cozy cushioned seats and back pillows comfortably spread about the cafe (very conducive to glueing your ass in one place for hours on end and getting stuff done)…

Pillow Cafe

… and, perhaps, also for the beautiful, thick pillow of foam atop their lattes.

pillowcafe

I find the coffee tastes above average, and it is reasonably priced (for Taipei) at 130NT. I got mine with an extra shot for 150NT (about $5USD). They also have a range of teas, light sandwich sets, freshly made desserts, waffles and some other sweets.

But the sweetest thing, of course, is their CAFE CORGI.

Untitled

Siapa 夏啪 is this lowrider’s name. I don’t know if Siapa is male or female. That’s the problem with these furry unseen undercarriages. And ungendered spoken languages.

Untitled

S/he is prone to allergies and muzzle-scratching sometimes, so on goes the cone…

Untitled

When the cone is not being worn, it’s used to accentuate the furnishings.

Well yes, that IS what I think of when I see pet cone collars!

Pillow Cafe is conveniently nestled in an area of good eats, so if quick-heat snacks are not your thing, you can time your meals for before or after your stay. Mostly, though, I think you’ll want to stay, because this place is lovely.

Sighting: Cafe Corgi at Atlantis Coffee

Tucked away in a quiet alley behind the Brother Hotel 兄弟飯店, off Nanjing East Road 南京東路, you’ll find this hideaway coffeeshop:

Atlantis Coffee

The two head silhouettes on their sign are somewhat mysterious. It’s actually the cafe proprietress and her dog, Jeeter 基特 the Corgi.

20131103 Atlantis Coffee

Jeeter is very welcoming and happy to greet visitors. She’s friendly, but also just fine staying out of your way — after you acknowledge her presence upon entrance!

Atlantis Coffee

Traffic here is relatively slow, based on what I saw on a weeknight. Still, as a small capacity cafe, all the tables were occupied, so I got a tall bar seat at the outwards-facing window. Not a bad option for people-watching.

Atlantis Coffee

My caramel latte with an extra shot was 130NT (a bit over $4), which I’m now learning is on the lower end of the price scale as far as Taipei lattes go. It was pretty average in taste. The complimentary cookie was a nice gesture.

At the tall bar seat, I didn’t get to interact with the lowrider Corgi very much, but I was there to get some work done, anyway. It was just the right, mellow setting for the tasks I had at hand.

Sighting: Oreo and Miss Lamb, Cafe Border Collies

Different health ordinances and cultural standards for public hygiene allow for animals in Taiwanese cafes. I’ve run into enough cafe dogs (and cats!) for a series of Taipei cafe pet sightings. I’ll roll them out as time permits.

20130923 Cafe dog is watching you.

Meet the two cafe dogs at 4 a.m. Cafe. Oreo is black and white.

20130923 Oreo

And Yang Meimei 羊妹妹, or Miss Lamb, is the one with ticking.

20130923 Miss Lamb 羊妹妹

Their black heads don’t make them very easy to photograph, especially at night, which is when they usually seem to make the rounds (or maybe that’s just me).

20130914 Oreo and Miss Lamb want what you're having

They’re especially responsive to the rustle of food wrappers.

4 a.m. Cafe is named such because of its unusual hours. It’s open seven days a week from 2 p.m. until… yup. Caffeinated bedtime!

Night owls who can’t drift their way to slumberland on a raft of espresso can partake of tea, or Belgian and local bottled beers instead. They’re not cheap, but it’s not a terrible option when bars are not your scene, everything else is closed, and you want something to ease the thought of going home to an empty apartment.

They also feed and shelter (outside) a very affectionate stray kitty who has been TNR’ed and allowed to linger.

20130906

I only wish the dogs were more affectionate or as curious about me as I am about them. Maybe that’s just because I haven’t ordered any food yet. House-made raw chocolate, cookies, pretzels, nuts, and simple dishes like pizza, lasagna, and sausages are on the menu. They don’t seem uptight about people bringing in outside snacks, but it’d be cool to order from them. They work long hours, after all. Might as well make it worth their while.

Sighting: Pidan 皮蛋, the Cafe Dog at No. 14 Coffee Shop

boston terrier, cafe dogs, store dogs, taipei, taipei cafes

This urban environment and doglessness is forcing my body into new routines. I can deal with the physical reality of being away from the pets, but my caffeine addiction is a hard habit to shake.

Luckily, Taipei is now dotted with more specialty coffeeshops than I’ve ever imagined. Unfortunately, they are not cheap. You pay for atmosphere and comfort, not just what’s in the mug.

20130827 No. 14 Coffee Shop

For me, I’ll willingly fork over $4 for a drink if I get to spend it in the company of a personable store dog. After not having gotten to pet an animal in over two whole weeks, I was eager to make friends with even this brachycephalic, bug-eyed, pink-skinned Boston Terrier at No. 14 Cafe.

20130827 No. 14 Coffee Shop

I’d say he’s qualified to be called an urban “working” dog — his role is to greet, inspect, and welcome all incoming guests. He excels at his job.

Placards at every table address the commonly asked questions:

No. 14 Coffee Shop

inside diners, please order at the bar
minimum purchase 100NT per person
service with a smile? nope, and nope.
water for tea, help yourself — wifi password 66666 — thanks
dog’s called Pidan — 4 years old

Pidan means leather/preserved/century/thousand-year-old egg. One of these things:

Dogs and I all had congee tonight. Mine comes with one of these.

As weirded out as I am by pets named after food items, this is a very fitting (and cute) name for a Boston Terrier. Lots of things about him are rather egg-shaped.

No. 14 Coffee Shop

A caramel cappuccino is usually priced at 140NT 100NT (the current exchange rate is about 30NT = USD$1). I almost scored an “imperfect latte art” discount. Guy takes his craft very seriously, as he’s the one that pointed out the misshapen splotch.

No. 14 Coffee ShopNo. 14 Coffee Shop

Mr. barista-owner takes responsibility for everything, including selecting and roasting the beans to taste, and of course the overall design of the shop. What results is a strong, tasty brew offered in a homey, unique setting.

No. 14 Coffee Shop

No. 14 Coffee Shop

It’s a small-capacity cafe, accommodating about 14~18 seated indoor customers at any given time, and about three people outdoors. Given the limited seating, I wasn’t sure if it was the type of place where one could just set up shop and do their own thing. However, since the owner himself maintains a hands-off, laid-back attitude, I’d say you’re free to occupy your space however you’d like. While you’re hatching your next business venture, doodling in your travel journal, slogging through a stack of photocopies to read, or drafting your next blog entry, the owner’s off in his own world — training his dog, and occasionally recording videos of himself playing his acoustic guitar (Pidan oversees the production of all videos).

Nevertheless, good cafe etiquette always applies. As long as you meet the minimum charge, and there are spaces available, you’re welcome to linger. Should it get busy, be respectful of the need for table turnover, and pack up within a reasonable amount of time. I came in on a weekday towards the late afternoon and stayed a couple hours until dinnertime, and it was never at more than half capacity during my entire stay.

If the place is usually so chill, I expect to become a regular over the next few months.

Two store mascots: Ah Mao Risotto, Ximending – Taipei

Ah Mao Risotto restaurant (阿毛石鍋燉飯) in the Ximending (西門町) area of Taipei has made its dog-friendliness into a rather successful gimmick.

Ah Mao

Apparently they serve Italian style rice in a Korean stone bowl, with the bottom crisped bibimbap style. Sounds yummy, but I’ve never tried their menu, despite being tempted many a time by the presence of the Golden Retriever perpetually parked by the door.

Air conditioning? or water?

Air conditioning or water? Such a tough choice…

Since I was last in Taiwan, they’ve expanded to at least one additional store in the area. The second shop featured a different mascot — a rather plump, shaved Border Collie.

Shaved Border Collie @ Ah Mao

I suspect the store mascots are being fed a high carb diet of leftovers from the kitchen…

FILM: Rainy Dog (Gokudô kuroshakai)

dog movies, japanese film, taipei, taiwan dogs, takashi miike


Film: Rainy Dog [Gokudô kuroshakai]
Director: MIIKE Takashi
Performers: AIKAWA Shô, CHEN Xianmei, GAO Mingjun, HE Jianxian, TAGUCHI Tomorowo
Production Information: Daiei, 1997 (Japan)
Breed featured: Taiwan mutt

Director Takashi Miike isn’t exactly known for his subtlety. His work often rubs me the wrong way, and there was a period of several years where I flat-out refused to watch his films. I’ve only been persuaded to give him a chance when there’s been the promise of something different, such as the anthropological exotica of The Bird People of China or the delirious musical revelry that was The Happiness of the Katakuris.

While Rainy Dog, the second in a disjointed trilogy narrating the violence and vagaries of yakuza life, is more in line with the “typical” Miike fare that I tend to snub, I had to see it for two simple reasons: 1) it was filmed on location in Taipei, and it’s always a thrill to see how foreign directors depict that city which I love so dearly, and 2) the English title contains the word “dog,” hinting at something that would be of thematic significance.

When one watches a lot of films, one is allowed to have arbitrary criteria when deciding what to bump up in the queue.

The story is simple enough. An exiled yakuza in Taiwan, Yuji, has a child dropped off at his apartment one day by a woman who claims that he’s the father. Not exactly pleased with this new responsibility, Yuji proceeds to tromp around Taipei on various assassination jobs oblivious to the kid shadowing him and witnessing each bloody hit. It’s not exactly Léon or Kikujiro, because the boy is unable to talk and his gangster father barely acknowledges his existence. There’s no emotional buildup or blossoming relationship because they just don’t interact. This wall of silence persists throughout the movie, as well as the torrential downpours that render the entire visual palette into shades of a depressing, industrial steel gray and blue.

In the eponymous scene, Miike almost achieves the trifecta of pitifulness: child, puppy… but not female. That’s okay; he still manages to milk every pathetic minute through stark montage. The child and puppy are abandoned outside in the rain, while his father is shacked up with a Taiwanese prostitute in a shabby but dry room. Between rounds, they replenish themselves with lip-smacking dishes, while the kid tears through garbage bags for a few greasy smears of leftover rice.

You’d think, in this rather heavy-handed sequence, the director could have spared us at least one gratuitous close-up of the puppy’s snorfling face. But alas, these low-quality screenshots were the best I could do.

At least Miike didn’t turn this tender moment around and strangle the puppy as he’s been known to do in other titles. The man’s not so nice to animals or hookers or, really, most living beings in his films. So maybe some dogs are better left out in the rain…

Light years ago… Lantern Festival images from the Year of the Dog (2006)

lantern festival, taipei, taiwan, taiwan dogs, year of the dog

I was organizing my digital photo albums, and came across some of the photos I took during the 2006 Lantern Festival in Taipei. That was the Year of the Dog, so many of the displays tried to incorporate that into their themes. However, I remember being disappointed; the truly artistic lantern constructions (and there were plenty!) had little to do with dogs at all.

So again, the paucity of canine representation in Chinese art…

Rather than wait another 12 year cycle (or rather, seven years until 2018, the next Year of the Dog), I thought I would present some old shots for nostalgia’s sake.

000qyyew
Photos taken 14 February 2006

A Taiwanese aboriginal figure with what I think is supposed to be a Formosan Mountain dog — except this one is shaped more like a Lab than the most “classic” Formosans with pricked ears and a sickle tail that arches over the back.

This thing was HUGE, towering over all at the entrance to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, where the Lantern Festival was set up that year.

000r48fq

A scene out of the Jungle Book — Akela the wolf encounters Mowgli.

000rgp9t

Some of the best lanterns featured more traditional and folkloric Chinese images; the dogs featured in such scenes seemed purely incidental. The creature above was probably supposed to be a Pekingese or some other lapdog of the court, like these musicians.

000r6kpq

000re67z

Not sure I understand the appeal of puppies dangling dangerously off of bare bottoms… but apparently this image is in global circulation as part of some standard iconography of “cute.”

000rqrfs

Would you trust this cop with the REALLY DILATED PUPILS… with this dog? I think it’s supposed to be a Doberman, but again, I’m not sure.

000rr93p

One of the better creations where the representation was actually somewhat true to form. Apparently I only liked the Basset Hound, because I don’t have pictures of the other breeds featured in this display, though I remember there were several. But maybe, aside from this specific display, none of the others were aiming for “purebred” representations anyway.

000r37w7

And finally, one mystery dog with pricked ears holding a string of gold ingots. He was part of this rather garish scene…

000r29w5

… where the dancing lion centerpiece was apparently the most compelling element, since I didn’t bother to document the rest. Alas!

The Taiwan Lantern Festival has now migrated to cities further south on the island, and I haven’t seen it for years. But apparently it’s just about to happen for 2011. Wish I could be there, bombastic music and crazy light shows and all!
