Jamie’s Italian, a restaurant brand established by British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, will soon open its first outlet in Taiwan this month at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store’s A11 branch in Taipei. It will be the fourth restaurant to be opened in Asia by the brand, which owns over 40 outlets worldwide.
Best known for his cooking TV shows, Oliver shot to fame following the debut of “The Naked Chef” series in 1999 on BBC. That same year, he was invited to prepare lunch for then British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Oliver has also written several successful cookbooks and has worked on a global campaign for better food education for many years. According to TheRichest.com, he was the world’s wealthiest chef last year with a reported net worth of US$400 million.

Native to New Zealand, the kiwi has tiny wings, furry-looking feathers and a long beak, making it strangely cute. Still, it has become one of the nation’s best-known symbols. Evolution had a hand in shaping the kiwi’s unique look. Millions of years ago, when New Zealand lacked land predators, the kiwi lived in an environment where flight was unnecessary for survival. Gradually, it adapted to a ground-dwelling lifestyle. Its wings shrank into small stubs hidden beneath its feathers, while its

A: It’s a pity that I didn’t get the ticket for K-pop supergroup BigBang’s concerts at the Taipei Dome this weekend. B: Well, it’s OK.
