Ending 2012 in Taipei


We spent our days in Taipei visiting family and roaming the streets for food. My favorite? the warm sugar cane juice at the Shihlin night market and grilled squid at Keelung Miaokou.Taipei was definitely a food paradise. If only we have the same 7-Elevens in America...they have fresh food, dumplings and even ramen!


Despite having a giant camera on our back, we did not take too many photos. With so much food around us,  I decided to use the camera for video instead. Perhaps we should've carried two cameras instead of just one.


bamboo was everywhere!

oyster and egg

vegetable soup

fried food in Taipei was exceptional--perfectly crispy tofu and basil w/ chips


egg and bitter melon

We're thankful to have Danny's family as our hosts, especially Aunt May who arrange for our hotels, her husband who drove us everywhere. I'm thankful to have met so many of Danny's relatives and see his old home.

Tip: go there before 11 AM to avoid the rush Miao

My husband's aunt and her family took us to Miaokou and we wish we had four stomachs each to eat the food. We were surround with so much variety!

Tips: 
1. Try their peanut ice cream, grilled squid
2. Go on an empty stomach...there's a lot of food to try!
