Taiwan Day 7 (9 June Sat)

Morning: Was supposed to head up to Ah Li San. However the weather has been raining for the past few days and a few cars have been hit by falling debris. We thus had a change of plans and Ting Yun's mum suggested us accompanying her to some gathering with Principals and Teachers. By the way, my friend's mum is actually the principal of a primary school while her day is a professor and a university. Impressive.

饭团. You Tiao, peanut and some salty vegetables wrapped in glutinious rice. Tasted not bad.

We then followed his mum up 梅山。I hope I remembered correctly. We went up to view the scenery. Seriously, Ed and I did not know where we were heading as their parents have arranged for us. So we were hurried into the car and off we went! This peanut is very nice. Haha. I bought a packet back to Sinapore. Cant imagine that I can even buy stuff at the restaurant where we were having lunch. We joined all the teachers and principal for a free lunch. Haha..



A delicacy. 山猪皮。I dont like it.. Rubbery and a tangy taste. But Ed said it was nice. Different preferences.

Ed, Ting Yun, Me and Ting Yun's Mum. The wind was going strong!


The scenery that we saw up at the 梅山。

Afternoon 4p.m.: We took a train to get to Jia yi.

The tear dropped shaped sweet was super sweet. Luckily I bought one only. I could not even finish one and had to throw it after 2 bites. Too sweet for my liking.

This is called 状元糕. Very nice. Taste like Tuk tuk kueh but even nicer. The skin is spongy, full and moist. The fillings are either black sesame or peanut. Only saw this food at Jia yi. Must try!

Ting yun is a good catcher. She caught this Mushroom for Ed and I. Love it. She got me hooked to the toy catching machine when I was back in Ximending. haha. Ed literally had to pull me out for each stall.

This basketball machine is also very common. My ball aiming is super lousy. Got a point of only 18, Ed 30plus while Ting Yun got about 50. Some experts can play up to 100.

Our day ended off with 喷水鸡肉饭。Jiayi is famous for chicken rice. Shredded chicken with some special sauce gravy white rice. I still prefer Hainanese Chicken rice.
