Taipei is themostamazingplacetoeatintheuniverse because…
Taiwanese street food is the best!
Turo-turo adobo. You turo it, she adobos it.
My favorite assortment of adobo thingies
Sometimes I like it nice and neat
Sometimes I like it all scruffed up
My combo of choice: roast pork, soy chicken and roast duck rice
Mushrooms, tofu, balls, intestines, hearts, gizzards, hash browns, radish cakes, fish cakes
Very, very addicting Taiwanese fried chicken! Now available in Manila at Big Daddy’s!
Sweet and spicy Taiwanese sausage
Bean curd, green beans, red beans and peanut dessert
Adobo duck tongue, adobo duck wings, adobo duck neck, adobo duck feet…
Milk green tea with pearls and grass jelly
Delicious meal of lo-ma rice, fried tofu and ampalaya soup that cost me only NT$40!
My breakfast of bicho-bicho wrapped in sesame bread then dunked in hot soybean milk
Frog eggs drink. No need to freak out, it’s just green beans, jelly, sago and milk.
Everything matcha, matcha, matcha. I love matcha!
Fresh fruit juice stand everywhere
My drink of the day, Mixed Vegetable Juice.
Contains pineapple, lemon, cabbage, bitter melon, celery and carrot. Yum.
Beard Papa’s has many many more products than just cream puffs
Like this vanilla custard-filled doughnut-puff
Mister Donut has doughnuts in all shapes, textures, flavors and sizes
Supermarkets have the best selection of dairy products
My stash: Macamdamia nut coffee, no sugar yogurt, plain yogurt, strawberry yogurt,
matcha milk, matcha milk again, strawberry milk
Sweet potato milk, black sesame and grains milk, fresh milk, and
my childhood-all-the-way-to-spinsterhood favorite, Uni-President egg pudding
Milk I grew up drinking: fruit milk, apple milk, malt milk
(Mom used to feed me these in my baby bottle)
And of course, while in Taiwan, you can’t not notice Taiwanese fashion.
What can I say, they’re really not very brand spelling-conscious peoples
I love Taipei.
