Taipei, Taipei, I Love You!

 

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

 

Green onion pancakes

 

Sometimes I like it nice and neat

 

Sometimes I like it all scruffed up

 

Taro pie… Mmmm…

 

Lunch box vendor

 

My combo of choice: roast pork, soy chicken and roast duck rice

 

Everything fried vendor

 

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…

 

Self-service dimsum take out

 

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. Sick smile

 

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.

 

Furry boots with furry balls

 

What can I say, they’re really not very brand spelling-conscious peoples

 

I love Taipei.
