Busy busy busy I thought I had made up my mind to start writing regularly, but somehow a sudden announcement my one of my colleagues now means that I'll be real busy for the next couple of months (only, i hope) Had wanted to blog all about my short getaway to Taiwan, but I kinda forgot the details, now its somehow seems like a distant dreamy memory (even though it wasn't that long ago, but when these many things are happening, it feels that long ago). All I remember are funny bits here and there, the jellybelly giving his tortured look every time I happily announce that we're going shopping (again) and how he trudges along behind me, NOT carrying my shopping bags, as I rummage through the racks,shelves,piles of clothes clothes and more clothes! How we crave shilin chicken and bubble tea EVERY night, how we went back specially to have more mouth watering mee sua. Just blogging about it now is making me salivate.. 
Long queue and yummy mee sua place (this place is located at Hsimenting, near the Hsimen train station exit 6, near Rainbow hotel)  
There's a lot of good food in Taiwan. Pretty girls & cheap clothes too. Lang and I will gladly stay there for like ever. Plus now Ros is gonna be there. One more reason to visit Taiwan again! Other than the mee sua - there's the shilin chicken. There are a few brands, so remember to go to the one with the the packaging featured below- there will be one dude overseeing the frying of the chicken, a few others at the back playing with the batter, and most importantly - one guy giving out plastic bags at the end of the queue. Go for this shilin chicken. It's the best among all that we tried. 
Talking about shilin chicken. After weighing ourselves back in Singapore - we promised to go on a boiled / steamed chicken breast diet. Nothing but chicken breast and everything else healthy - tofu, veggies, tomatoes and so on. The first 3 days went by fine, until the weekend came, and we decided to try making our own shilin chicken and bought a deep fryer. (we even got chili powder and bkack pepper powder to replicate the taste!)And... for the next few days we had nothing but fried chicken, chicken nuggets, seaweed chicken, fries, and garlic bread. What's that about a diet again? Oh wells.. and there was this smelly tofu, and well, was realllyyyy smelly. I know it's supposed to stink, but you know how in Taiwan you smell garbage - and if you do follow the trail of the scent, you will eventually end up at a cart selling smelly tofu. But when you do buy some, it tastes really awesome?? The jellybelly says it smells like your finger after your stick it up your ass. And well, we happened to buy some which unfortunately tasted as bad as it smelled. So anyway, my advise is. buy only at the stalls where you see a lot of locals forming a queue at. Anyway, just to end off this post - real random... but heres a cute shop puppy we saw in Wu Fen Pu.
