Oily Rice

Oily Rice

My mom made this last night! This is Taiwanese style oily sticky rice. I can't really describe how good it is, but it definitely reminds me of home and childhood :)

Eat Like the Aborigines

Monday, January 3rd, 2011... We visited the Leader Village @ Buluowan, Taroko Gorge. Leader Village is a hotel/restaurant where you can live and eat like the aborigines! When we first stepped into the courtyard, I felt like I was in the Dharma Initiative (LOST). You are surrounded by humongous mountains and cool looking cabins :) It took my breath away!

The food was different. They served sticky rice in a bamboo tube... Hualien's speciality skinned chili pepper... The vegetarian skewer was seasoned so well, Beth thought she had the best bell peppers ever! Grilled tilapia was amazingly tender and moist (yes, i used the word moist)... I mean, I can go on and on and on about how amazing this meal was... plus the scenery was out of this world! Also they have free wifi for me to "check-in" on my Foursquare.

Next time I will have to try the "When Wild Boar Met The Eiffel Tower Meal"

First Night Market DAY ONE Part 2

Taiwan Travel Tip #002: must visit night markets!!! well... we were told that there's a night market just down the street from my aunt's house. Without any hesitation Uncle Quan volunteered to be our night market tour guide of the night and Aunt Heidy made a batch of the most colorful and yummy dumplings as our pre game before the night market!

Beth's first night market experience!

There are just so many things to see, eat, smell, eat, play and eat in this narrow street of Banqiao Destrict. If you look at photos from the slideshow below you can see how much we love squid! Squid is delicious... Along with the squid we also got bags of skewered tofu, Taiwanese tempura, chicken butt, green beans, fish balls, and yam balls... I think that's about it... but i'm sure i missed a few other things hahah

What's better than night market street food + Makers Mark?
