月老快速介紹 -
Quick yuelao introduction

月老，月下老人，是台灣民間信仰中的愛情和婚姻之神，傳說他會用紅線把有兩個緣人牽在一起。

月老 (ㄩㄝˋ ㄌㄠˇ Yuelao), literally means ‘old man under the moon’; he is the god of love and marriage in Taiwanese folklore. It is believed to bind couples together with a red thread of destiny.

台灣的年輕人特別喜歡去廟裡拜月老。希望得到月老的祝福，找到真愛或改善他們的愛情
Young people in Taiwan are particularly enthusiastic about praying to Yuelao in temple. Many seek his blessings to find true love or improve their relationships.

I often worsip Yuelao and I talked about it in my YT video when I visited to 龍山寺 Longshan temple(10:02). Be sure to go there when you travel to Taiwan.

你覺得我們臺灣人迷信嗎? :)

上次我看到菜單的時候會心一笑，馬上跟我姐和我妹討論
我心裡想 一定要跟你們分享
你喝過這樣的臺式調酒嗎，下次試試看!

Do you think we Taiwanese people are superstitious? :)

Last time I saw the menu, I couldn‘t help but smile. I immediately discussed it with my sister. I thought, “I have to share this with you all.” 🤭
Have you ever tried these Taiwanese-style cocktails? Give them a try next time!
