Beer lovers in Taiwan are especially lucky because a dedicated Belgian entrepreneur, Geert Anthonis distributes a large variety of his country's best beers to locations nationwide on a weekly basis. "I have to do it on my own," says Geert, "because I want to keep in close touch with my clients."
For the Belgian festival at the Regent you may try: Duvel (devil), a strong, rich and full-bodied beer with a strong alcohol content (7 percent); Delirium Tremens, which was nominated best beer in the world in 1997. The bottle is often kept as a decorative item; Dentergems Wit, a slightly sweet wheat beer; and Liefmans, a rather unique raspberry-flavored beer.
Entertainment
From Dec. 22 to Dec. 31, diners at the Grand Formosa Regent will also be treated to a musical journey by Diavolo, a chamber orchestra from Brussels. Their repertoire is broad, ranging from oldies to Broadway tunes, from Charleston to Tango and a few Gypsy tunes. Don't miss their special appearance during the Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch as well as for the traditional countdown on Dec. 31.
