Taiwanese delight

Last Monday in Taipei Alex and Lily took us to Hutong Yakiniku restaurant which came highly recommended by their friend. We ended up walking round and round in circle and none of the locals could tell us where the shop was. Fortunately we found the place just as we were about to give up hunting for the restaurant.

It was 7PM when we arrived and the place was buzzing with diners. Thankfully the very friendly waitress found a table for us. The restaurant was small & cozy and they had closet and lockers by the entrance, where we left our jackets and haul from Stay Real.

The food was fantastically delicious!! *drools* The beef was tender and juicy and so were the lamb chops. And the sweet potato in cheese was absolutely heavenly.

the beef is soooo yummy
lamb chops for me, me and me :P
even Vivian Hsu loves the food there!
Mayday's favourite cafe
The next day we went to try out Tin Tom's Cafe (Mayday's favourite cafe). Their specialty is the home made burger but we didn't try it that day as we were still full from our teatime snack so we ordered light snacks, salad and drinks. The food wasn't too bad and the portion was fairly generous.
The night before I left Taipei we went night shopping at Shilin and I was craving for ice dessert. Taiwanese ice desserts are the best cos the shaved ice are so fine they taste almost like snow (I don't like crunchy shaved ice)

I'm not particularly fond of beef noodles but Shirley recommended this one, which we had a Jiufen. The portion was a little small and there were too much tendon on the beef but it filled my tummy just nice that cool winter morning.

The girls were crazy over the below snack. They told me that it's like roti canai and it really does! We had ours with bacon, corn and fried egg wrapped up like crepe. Best eaten hot on a chilly winter day :)


The girls were also crazy over mala hot pot and we ate at Fei Tian restaurant twice in one weekend! It costs NT$499 per person and they serve big portions of meat with unlimited seafood, drinks, ice-cream and fruits.
