Beth and I have been planning this trip to Taiwan for ages! I wanted to show her my roots and GREAT food! We love to share so this blog will feature photos, videos and fun stories of our fabulous adventure in Taiwan. NOT "Chinese Taipei"14 hours on the plane we finally made it to Taiwan!... Soooo LETS EAT!!! On our way to the breakfast cafe with Uncle Quan we witnessed a crazy crash involving two motor scooters. The lady got t-boned, flipped off her scooter and broke her arm... It was quite a scene... but we were hungry so we kept on walking... The breakfast cafe had sandwiches, burgers and coffee... not that interesting actually ha! Off to the next foodventure!
Banqiao Market
Believe it or not, my grandpa (who passed away when I was about 12) used to be the "dude in charge" of a farmers market... this market is located in the Banqiao District. We met up with my grandma and she wants to give us a quick tour of how Taiwanese people do their grocery shopping, This market is not like any typical farmers market, not only can you find all kinds of fruit, vegetable, meat and fish... you can get a haircut or trim your brows before you check off your grocery list.
After we left the Banqiao Market grandma suggested that we should check out this hokkaido style hot pot restaurant inside the Banqiao Train Station. I thought I made some kick ass hot pot... I was wrong... This place is insane delicious, the herbal soup base and the meat quality is out of this world! Bottom line is... I wish y'all can smell the photos!
and that was our first lunch in Taiwan together as a family :)
Too bad they can't be scratch and sniff!!
