epicasiatrip: taipei

So, this next series of posts is coming a good six weeks too late but I’ve been really busy since coming back from my trip and I just didn’t really have the energy to go through everything and to be honest, I wasn’t much in a blogging sort of mood.

But here we go… Taipei! This was the beginning of our month-long excursion through Asia. Spent four days here. It was mostly rainy, but we had a few lucky days of sunshine. Mostly we just stuffed our faces. People aren’t kidding when they say Taiwanese people like to eat. Night markets, boba, dessert shops, breakfast places… It never stops.

Not that I’m complaining or anything.

The famed original Din Tai Fung!

Xiao long bao! <3

Peanut mochi!
Breakfast time :) Big pieces of fried dough. You tiao.
Do jjiang: A savory soy curd with green onions and vinegar. Surprisingly addicting. Perfect for our rainy morning. And dunking the you tiao into this was … amazing.
Spicy hotpot. Another memorable meal.
Pork floss! My best friend in elementary school was Chinese and she shared this stuff with me all the time. :)
Beef noodle soup.
Stinky tofu. Really Stinky. Capital S. In fact, it should be STINKY tofu.
Egg tarts!
More Chinese breakfast. :)
Finished the trip fittingly with tapioca milk tea. :)
