台北小吃 here and there
Lots of delicious street food in Taipei! 216巷粉圓大王 – I think this is even better than 東區粉圓!
Natural Beauty of Taroko National Park
We had a great hiking trip to Taroko National Park (太魯閣國家公園) and truly enjoyed the natural scenery. Here we were at the entrance.
Cute and delicious snacks from Japan
We brought some snacks back from our trip to Tokyo. Loved everything! Hiyoko – Baby chick sweet steamed bun with yellow bean jam.
Kaiseki at Imahan
Today we had a great Kaiseki experinece at Imahan (人形町今半) located in Ginza. I had the Ko-Kaiseki (小会席).
Ippudo Ramen
Among the few bowls of ramen we tried in Tokyo, Brian’s favorite was Ippudo (博多一風堂).
Ramen experience at Ichiran
My favorite ramen place among the ones we tried on this trip to Tokyo is Ichiran (一蘭)! I love how you could customize the soup, the noodle, and the ingredients to your likings. Self-serve vending machine where you purchase your ticket.
