Last day
another not delicious braised meat rice for breakfast...
then later I learned from one of my TW follower, that there's generally two type of braised meat rice, one dry like this two pic, and the sticky ones which are godly. I prefer the latter ones.

Rushed over to the airport and checked in..
since still got time, I went over to the other terminal to look for bubble tea. but sad af, T2 bubble tea shop only open at 11am..was there at 10+am

no choice, had to masuk departure already.
and lord behold, bubble tea in front of my gate wub.gif

tapao2 two cup, one drink on the spot, another brought all the way back to JP laugh.gif  laugh.gif

sekian my short taipei food trip.

some key points:
1. summer not for human, so I will never step into TW in summer again
2. braised meat rice and bubble tea alone are worth that return flight ticket

in the end, spent a total of 128k yen in total for everything (flight, hotel, etc.), very cheap n fun trip biggrin.gif
can't wait for my MY & BKK trip this coming Friday brows.gif  brows.gif
all the food waiting for me wub.gif  wub.gif

jiufen beef noodle sucks

there are many nice neef noodles in taipei

yea, really not nice.

the other nice beef noodle also peppery or?

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Aug 19 2023, 11:34 PM)
I find most Taiwan food to be not amazing, but their braised pork rice with each grain of rice coated with a layer of pork fat to be delicious. I can't find it in Malaysia at all.

Some in fact have no meat literally in it...it's just pork fat and rice. Nice but it's heart attack in a meal.
*
same feeling. but I kinda like the night market especially when I'm not living in MY, a lot of choice, give that asian food street vibe..lots of choices although not everything is nice.

yea, a lot of the good ones have no meat all fat but sedap..cholesterol also naik

QUOTE(redic @ Aug 19 2023, 11:37 PM)
boring compared to Japan

but still much better than HK , China and Korea

HK china so boring kah? laugh.gif haven't been to both

been to Seoul once, didn't like it at all, rude ppl..boring food, it's either bbq or noodle or kimchi

you can try this , one of the best, walking distance from ximending

HK, shit place tbh, walk on the street that time crowded, people around you smoking, air con water dripping from building above. people rude too, hell and heaven if compared to Taiwan

China, nothing special, big cities boring, everywhere air quality sucks. people less rude better than hk, those countryside tourist area still ok can go sightseeing, but don't buy anything, lots of scams

yea, korea food only 1 taste 1 style biggrin.gif

it always is
same reason why we also say SG food is bad

because all the seasoning we put is kaw2
but actually all their foods are just healthier
the best oyster mee sua is actually somewhere at their chinatown

personally I dont like mee sua, but if they gotten me to miss their mee sua, its best for me tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif
