Taiwan

阜杭豆漿

Today we had yummy soy drink breakfast at 阜杭豆漿 (located at 華山市場2F).  We went on a weekday and avoided the morning rush.

花蓮小吃

We had half a day to try some famous street food in Hualien. Thanks to our great taxi driver / guide who took us to all these great spots! First stop: 公正包子.

Tokyo

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.

It’s all about chicken at Torikaku

One night we had dinner at Torikaku (鶏料理専門店). We were so hungry and ran into this place by accident. It looked quite happening from the outside and the food turned out to be great!  Beer please! While we study the menu.

Going Places

Visiting Fujiko F. Fujio Museum

We made a trip out to the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum (藤子.F.不二雄博物館), to see Doraemon and many other characters created by the cartoonist Mr. Fujio.   Lots of characters are in the park. Here is a photo of me with Doraemon!
