A high-end teppanyaki restaurant located on Pingdeng Street in Taichung City known for its distinctive scallop-shaped metallic shell sign. Informally referred to as the Big Scallop Restaurant (大扇貝餐廳), it was a local landmark for over 40 years until it was finally destroyed in 2021. Prior to that it had been converted into a parking garage for many years.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
