Food Galore

Shilin Night Market
A walk in a night market is the must for any Taiwan trip. Well ... a picture may speak a thousand word, but it can never describe the sense of taste, smell, and feeling of bloatedness after eating so many snacks as we walk down the streets; and the stickiness of your shirt filled with perspiration in a hot summer's night.




The fried crispy chicken is so many many times better than KFC


Jiufen
A really nice town on a hill. Beautiful place.


Nonetheless, the weather is warm and humid. So gobble down some really cool stuff, literally.
Ice cream popia! and ...


Ice kacang. I think this is called fen yuan in taiwan.

It is really nice eating fen yuan at the shops at the edge of the hill enjoying the scenery after a long tiring walk.

And some good old Chinese traditional tea!
(though I must admit the weather is a bit too hot for outdoor tea appreciation)




Dan Shui
is a fishing town, and Dan Shui old street is famous for .... what else ... more food!!!


I know Taiwan is very advanced in agricultural technology, but the water melon and carrots and ... are humongous ! Oh yeah, some how the manage to cultivate white bitter gourd and white sugar cane.
