THE DECEMBER,
2008 ISSUE IS OUT NOW!
Letter From The Publishers
People--from close friends to complete strangers--call me on a regular basis to ask for Taichung dining suggestions, often enough that I joke about opening my own directory assistance hotline. Sometimes it's for a special date, an anniversary celebration, a birthday, a business gathering, a group meal, or romantic evening on the town. Other times, someone's just looking for a particular type of cuisine, a specific dish, or is simply bored and wants to know what's new. I really don't mind and do my best to provide some good restaurant options. But I also have a confession to make--I cheat. Many might assume that the Compass Magazine editor-in-chief has all this information filed away inside his cranium, but that's not usually the case. Instead, I grab a copy of my own magazine--always within arm's reach--and start flipping through it.
The next time you're looking for that new, unique or special eatery, you can do the same thing. Inside each edition, there are several places to look, including our "What's New" section, dining articles, "What's Cooking" listings, restaurant business listings, and many advertisements. If that's not enough, literally hundreds of more dining articles, accumulated over years of Compass coverage, are available on our www.taiwanfun.com website. A couple useful reminders: For on-line articles, it's best to call an establishment before visiting. Given the sheer number of openings and closings, it's common for our massive web database to include businesses that have already closed. Also, please inform us if you see any listings within this magazine that are out-of-date. We do our best to update all information but need your help.
This holiday season provides even more incentive to pay special attention to our dining information, as you prepare for special Christmas, new year and lunar new year gatherings and meals. Be sure and check all of the above-mentioned sections in this magazine and I guarantee you'll find something to suit your tastes. For the health conscious, I did happen to notice that we have not one, but three separate articles this month on vegetarian restaurants--both our main dining articles and a "What's New" business fall into this category. To assist you in your holiday planning, this month's cover story also offers some interesting dining and non-dining options to satisfy all age groups and styles.
On behalf of Co-Publisher Donovan Smith and I, and the entire Compass/Taiwanfun staff, best wishes to all our readers, advertisers and supporters for a joy-filled Christmas and very happy new year!
Sincerely,
Douglas Habecker
Co-Publisher
