Taiwan continuation

in tribute to my Taiwan trip

eons agoしょぼん. but hey, at least i am gonna write about it here.
better late than never.
i realise my memory is running short and my blogging initiative is running dry after viewing various good blogs (low self-esteem kicking in)

here goes nothing!!

when you travel on the bus, the disadvantage is you are always in the middle of nowhere.
unless you asked, then you are going to be told off you are in the middle of somewhere虹
and...
u woke up from lil nap jotted up and suddenly you are at the fun-park--Janfusun

being a safe playerモグラ, of course we went for the most steady ride, well, as we thought--the Ferris Wheel.

it wasn't safest after all. above the clouds, even the slightest movement could rock the cabin.
it was until the height where clicking on the camera could strike a squeal ヒヨコヒヨコヒヨコ

afterwards, we sit as silently as possible. until we finally reach the ground. frankly speaking, the moment my foot touch the ground, i have the urge to kiss it.

the park itself wasn't much an amusement. i wouldn't wanna recommend it to anybody who is heading to TW any soon. and to think that we waste a day and a night there...

acrobatic show, not by your typical China folks. i suspect them being Russians.


it was just basically "ooo" and "ahhh" but it did not leave enough impression.
except..

for the "Wall Runners" dressed in leopard prints.."Wall Runners" is a personal term since their pull a wondrous performance of running up and down walls doing stunts.

during the night, my virgin "Ah-Gua" show not in Thai, but of all places, in Taiwan, imported from Thai ガーンガーン

one of the guys ermmm...girls..i suspect she took Leah Dizon's and asked her doctor to perform exactly as the prototype目

at "Ah-Gua" show, you have to treat your customers right by having the best entrance welcome. make it warm, sexy, naughty so that your customers will feel at home. the saying "home sweet home" don't go for nothing.

The next day. (i lost counts of the days since it was quite long ago but i knew it was towards the ending of the trip)
in the bus. again..

the "taufu street" (for you bananas and non-Chinese), taufu is soya.
rough translation "Soya street"
the whole street is made of soya. you can kneel down and eat off the street.
taufu is a staple here. they are more important than rice.

my paradise (note: i hate rice)

pots and pots

there is one thing about Taiwanese that amuse me.
why do they fancy blood so much??

the blood grey blocks (my term) definitely not my thing.

tofu tofu everywhere

i had the ice-cream. with every spoon, you will feel yourself a step nearer to possessing beautiful smooth silky skin. definitely different from the commercialized ones.

from ice-cream to cakes to cheese (right top corner--black tofu cheese)叫び

yes..the chinese reads correct
(TOFU TI-RA-MI-SU)

we are spoiled with choices.the whole street is literally Made Of Tofu

this shop is taken from the restaurant we ate our "Mala stink tofu".
the name and dark interior looks Mafia-ish.
the bicycle on top is just for decoration to cheat stubborn kids and parents-who-thinks-they-are-THE-only parents with adorable kids.


presenting the "Mala"... stinky tofu
if you never try this, u never been to Taiwan.
so like it or not, longkang (english: close to meaning of sewage) water or not, die die also must put this in your mouth.

the chip-off at the corner is purely my work of playing safe. take abit. taste a bit.
but shame to say, the taste is growing on meラブラブ!
it actually doesn't taste that bad

the couple with their fried tofu.

up-close.
so much for tofu street.

OMG OmG *shrieks* Rose, you're back with your fabulous entries. :-D Great job on the taiwan trip entry.

If you did not mention about the AhGua show,I wun even be able to tell the difference. :-0D

Does the tiramisu tofu taste nice? Or it's plain weird?

Pete said...

This time Cleff beat me to welcoming you back. Tofu and ice cream, like these very much. Ah gua show not interesting larr, I was thinking more of eating Tau Kua. Ha Ha.

Mei-Wah said...

3rd? friday? right after raya holiday? sigh! so fast... :(

Calvin Soo KJ said...

hmmmm, you can shake hands with rachel. she simply adored taiwan. so much so that she's pestering me to go there with her....again. since she came back (mid september), all conversations were about taiwan, until one fine day i told her "one more thing about taiwan, you're banned from going there again!!", then she stopped. hahahha.

so you're starting work this friday...all the best to you gurl. cheers + god bless..

cleff
the free days are running short.
i am just simply running out of topics to write.
i am glad somehow you still come here. =)
we did not try the tiramisu tofu. decided our impression of tiramisu is best left as it is.. =)

pete
tofu and ice cream in ONE. what a combo eh.
i gave my virginity to my first Ah gua show in taiwan. that is depressing enough
what is a tau kua anyway?? related to tofu?

MW
you are going to THai soon, my dear -____-
you are that proud to be listed as "a bestie" huh?

Calvin

i am sorry you have to bear with taiwan again here in my site... =P
Rachel will know you didn't mean about banning taiwan. lol.
