first meal i had in Taiwan! fried carrot cake aha. but i'd soon discover that everything in Taiwan was just about fried, fried, and fried.



fried oyster pancake.. more starch than egg :C



minced meat rice. not bad.



Ximen, the Shibuya of Taiwan and also where our hotel was. yay.



Shilin Food Center. the place is asking to be burnt. and the stench of fermented beancurd was EVERYWHERE D8



cuttlefish balls. very very very good, and i'm not even a fan of cuttlefish D:



shishamo. also pretty damn good.



er more fried edibles. they prepare them the Shilin Street Snacks chicken way style, cut and seasoned.



okay i wouldn't be taking photos of all these if they weren't good 8D



geological park filled with mushroom rocks. adz will be ecstatic.



xiaolongbao from the original Din Tai Fung



fried rice there is also awesomeness



Old Street of Wufen, a nice small coastal town.



yong tau foo cheat our feelings, the fishballs were 90% flour.



local mochi



train tracks.
i not-so-secretly think trains are the best form of public transport. not MRT trains, but long-distance trains like the Shinkansen. they're more comfortable than airplanes [with more legroom too!], quieter, and you get really lovely views. [not to mention the toilets are cleaner too eheh]



went up to Taroko Gorge



mountains



more mountains



there's only one highway around these mountains and gorges, and prone to rockfalls. so we were all teetering on the edge of our seats and wondering whether we'd get crushed from above or crash to the bottom whenever the bus slid around a steep curve. seriously adrenaline-pumping man.



spaghetti at a food court there. not bad. my last meal before i left.


the round one.

Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
