Gastronomical Tour of Taiwan Part VII

The last part of my Taiwan food series. When i was in Taichung, we had 'Ma La' hotpot, something of a Taiwan specialty. Initially i thought it would taste something like Tom Yam, but to my disappoinment, it was spicy but that was all. No tangy or any eccentric tastes, just flat out spicy. What a letdown!

Most food stalls in Taiwan allow people to try before buying, so we had a ball of a time trying out everything. This 'Almond Sesame BBQ Pork' tasted so nice we decided to get a bag to eat in the bus!


Hehe... of course i didn't forego the chance to have a cup of Bubble Tea. They have more choices over there, more flavours and you can even choose if you want extra sweet, sweet, less sweet, or no sugar. The tea has a very strong taste and the pearls were chewy and supple. Plus, they are not expensive at all.


I saw these cute cups in 7-Eleven stores in Taipei. They are actually cups of milk. When you snap the top, the cornflakes will fall into the cold milk, a healthy cereal on the go.


Doraemon's pancakes! These come in several flavours there. Nice snack to eat whilst watching Doraemon on Channel 28 (GTV) on Taiwanese TV.... =P
