*Taiwan continued..*

More Food...



first row is dedicated to the dearly-missed 烤地瓜！mum really loved the stuff!!
it's juz roasted sweet potato - both the orange and the purple type! it's SUPER sweet!! look at the intensed color! it's almost like candy! but fragrant! lolz, it's mum's indulgence..

We went to afew night markets- in tai chung (2nd row); shilin (3rd row- 1st 2 pics: smelly toufu and the famous chic chop!!- super big and yummy we went back for second helping!) and Kao Shung's Feng Jia (3rd row- back 2 pics- roasted seasoned corn! - get to choose which corn you wan and wad flavour: original, pepper, curry, etc really chewwy and nice!; - charcoal grilled chic chop!) Feng Jia mkt also has the BEST bubble tea! the brand's 大拇哥(Thumb Boy)! Super super must try!! *gal serving also very chio! haha*

Last row is of bamboo rice: muz knock the bamboo till it breaks to get to the rice. good if angry at ppl..
last 2 is of dried salted sotong! - juz like hebi- but sotong..

i was infatuated with this little piglet- caged in a pet shop at the Tai Chung night market. it's super super cute, place ur finger and it'll come and try put it's pink snout to it and try to lick it! hahaha.. v clever! and will wag it's little tail as it chases your finger around... i pray that it'll end up as a beloved pet by some vegetarian owner... pls pls pls. such sweet innocence..

the same pet shop also sold ducklings.. i hope they dun become someone's meal.. ... the taiwanese realli love to eat duck- esp if it's stewed..

Also another prob in Taiwan is the number of stray dogs- esp those that were once pets. Many are abandoned to roam the streets in search of food, and it's really heart-wrentching to see some sit in front of the night market stalls sniffing at the food above.. these are domesticated animals which don't know how to hunt nor scavenge, used to having their dinner dished out to them, sit obediantly to obtain treats.. ... worse are those tt seemed broken by abandonment- it really struck me when i saw this thin one who was following his master happily, which was vast constrast to the forlorned ones.. dogs value companionship more than anything else.. if you don't wanna look after a pet, don't even get one in the first place! - i hope Taiwan will one day extend that kind awareness and compassion tt i see in their mrt posters to their animals too.

My fav pics from the trip!!

Really enjoyed going taiwan with Mom!!

Hope next year we can go Jiu Chai Gou! =)
