Ximending, Food Trip

Ximending in Taiwan usually refers to Ximending in Wanhua District, Taipei City. This area is in the northeastern part of Wanhua District in Taipei City and it is also the most important consumer district in the Western District of Taipei. The well-known Ximending Pedestrian Area was the first pedestrian area built in Taipei and is the largest in Taiwan. Ximending generally refers to the area surrounded by Zhonghua Road, Kangding Road, Hankou Street, and Chengdu Road.

We walked along this road and at the T-junction, we turned left..


and came to this famous stall, Ay-Chung Flour-Rice Noodles..


three of us shared a bowl..


at the next corner, there's the duck rice shop, a popular one but we didn't eat there..


We were attracted to the large hot dog at the Bratwurst Salami Stall..


so we ordered the Great Stick, hot dog with pieces of french fries and cornflakes..


we yearned for this cool ice-cream..


then we had the fried quail eggs..


and yummy mochi..


Finally, we enjoyed this waffle with red beans and cream..

    Wow, ultimate food trip ang ginawa niyo ha! One of my friends who's been to Taiwan before said that one of the best things about the country is the food - that eating out is sort of a national pastime. I wanna Taiwan if that's the case :D

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
