I'm in Taiwan

Yes.. I know i owe you all a lot of updates. But hey, i'mm now in Taiwan pigging it out le. Just reached taiwan last night and have eaten a lot of stuff to date. We 2 are kinda lost here becos of the super chim chinese they use here (繁體 ).

An example is the direction given to us for this 24hour bookstore branch. The lady say look for dong. We both aasume is 洞, so we were looking around for some underground tunnel. End up, we realise she is referring to dong, as in, the building. super fainted hor.. Hk was much better as there's a lot of English labelling ard.

Other than our Cannot-make-It-Chinese, it'a actually quite fun here. The food here is very good, the gers here are super chio one. And super super frendly people. If i stay here any much longer, i think i become a really fat pig. Cos within the 24 hour i landed in taiwan, we already ate a lot of stuff liao.

First Stop: Bubble Tea..
Bubble Tea
ok.. Ordering bubble tea has never been so complicated. they ask u about the amount of ice and sugar you want. All at the same price of NT$30 = $ 1.50. By some luck, we bought from this store as we saw a lot of people buying. It's much later that we realise that this store is ranked second in terms of taste. hee.. We are now hunting for the store No. 1. The drink here is very nice as they make the milk tea upon order. Not like singapore where it's pre-manufactured in factories. Even the portion of sago also super generous..
We going to have at least 1 cup a day. On our second day we have already tried pudding milk tea and buo pa milk tea.

Now the all-time famous: Ah Zhong Mian Sian
JY with Ah Zhong Mee Sua
okk.. It took us super super long to find it as we were bad with the small roads. But it's all worth it. Mee sua with pig intentines. Really good. And the thing is, the store doesn't have chairs, so you see all the people standing or squatting ard eatting it. a lot of chio chio gers eating this while standing at the shop lo. They look like walking ads while i look like a small school ger. =) It's not "goooyie..." =P Definitely needs a second visit to this shop again. Derrick says the next time we buy, we buy the bigger bowl instead. =P

Partyworld = Hotel?
Partyworld
What's the craze taiwanese have with KTV? You see a lot of KTV ard and they are like hotels. The whole storey is the KTV and super posh setting.

This is a bank..
Pukii?
Yes.. Pukki's house is the bank. It's all pinkie colored and all the ATMs are pink.. So kawaiii..

Chinese Hotdog any1?
hotdog?
hee.. Nope.. It's not hotdog.. It's BBQ muah chee w peanut. Super super good. They take super long to bbq this, crispy skin with chewy chewy inside. Even the sauce is great.

Almost forgot to blog this: Fen Yuan
Fen yuan
yes.. It's a giant bowl of ice kacang. We had yam balls, pumpkin balls, fen yuan (aka sago) and red bean. The portion is so big that it fills your tummy. But the thing is, every1 around us is having 1 bowl whereas we 2 are sharing 1. Nay.. I wan to eat more stuff. Not going to stuff myself crazy with 1 bowl of fen yuan each. =)

Cold Noodles
Cold noodles any1
We just joined in the crowd and bought this. Very good cold noodles.

Onion Pancake
Onion prata any1?
It's like prata with Spring Prata.. But where's the curry?? Hee.. we call this the chinese onion pancake. very fragrant and fluffyy.

hee.. see.. Within 24 hours, we have eaten soooo much. we 2 are really pigging it out. We 2 just buy those stalls where people are buying. **Tip: When in Rome, follow what the Romans do.. Observe how people order their food, den follow suit. **Dun care liao.. eat first den think about the consequences. =P keep all updated soon..
