Taiwan Day 3 and 4: Food
Day 2 wasn’t much. We ended up going into the mountains again to eat at the same chicken restaurant with a different set of people because it was soooo good that we had to share this restaurant. We ended up ordering something new though. It’s kind of like hearts of palm, and you peel the outer layer, and dip the fleshy soft part in soy sauce and eat it. It was reeeally good. Kind of bamboo-like.
Then, my eye surgery was at 6:30 and that took about an hour and half of prep (pills to calm me down, more info and what to expect) and eye’s hurting, I quickly went home and my dad bought a sammich for me and I knocked myself out in bed without taking a shower or brushing my teeth. It was pretty bad. See my eye surgery post!
Day 3!
The morning after the surgery was much better and I went out to eat with my parents are family friends. The restaurant was called “I Love My Home.” and it was french cuisine. It was pretty good. Full courses with dessert and everything. Some of the pictures didn’t upload because they are more than 2mb and I’m too lazy to upload them all. But you get the gist. Then we went back to our house and hung out for a bit before going back out to eat at all you can eat hot pot! for only 198 NT! That’s…about 6 bucks. A lot of the all you can eat here is 198 now. The meats and other ingredients like fishballs come in the escalator above and you can just take the dishes. Other ingredients, like veggies, you have to walk over to the section to get it. They had a big drink section, and desserts, popcorn, chocolate fountain, and assorted toast you spread yourself.
Yes, Taiwan has a lot to do with food.
