It’s been another week in Taipei and time is passing quickly. We leave for SE Asia the following Wednesday.
The highlight this week was heading to Pingxi to celebrate the Lantern Festival. It’s the end of the new year celebration. If you’ve seen Tangled, seeing the lanterns in person is even cooler than a Disney moment... and I was in Disneyland only a few weeks ago. A shout out to our new friend, Winnie, for some of her lantern pics. We also went strawberry picking with Warren’s cousin (or 2nd cousin) on the mountainside. Of course, we ate a 10-course meal after the laborious work of picking strawberries.
As most know, I’ve always had a separate stomach for dessert. What we learned is that Warren also has a 2nd stomach for dessert when we’re here in Taiwan! He will even order 2 desserts that he wants and I eat whichever one he likes less.
Food pics (top left going clockwise): Shave ice with strawberries / milk pudding, lao bing, MOS rice burger, Warren, peanut roll (an awesome dessert – rice paper rolled with shaved peanut brittle, taro ice cream, and the kicker…cilantro), Mel, sesame mochi balls with fermented rice soup, and pai gu fan.
My favorite kind of post - - all food references. Which second cousin?
