This museum is like no other, a must go for those who love Chinese history. The Chinese name of this museum is 國立故宮博物院 literally National (國立) Forbidden City (故宮) Museum (博物院), Forbidden City in Peking is actually the Chinese Palace so its called National Palace Museum.

Thanks to the President Chiang Ching-Kuo of the KMT, these Chinese treasures had been saved from the dumb communist's destructions during the Cultural Revolution.

This brought back a memory of first trip to Hong Kong, ex's old man worked in a factory complex scummy as hell, took me to lunch with the workers only things on menu boiled rice, roast pork, large bottles of beer, yummy.

Ok this post will not make justice to local food nevertheless here it is a dinner at the Kaohsiung city's Marriot Hotel.

I've never sat on such a humongous table (for 10) like this in my life


Has 2 motors for the center turntable


But its pretty


The cutleries


Very high-end Narumi bone-china


The dishes


The special drink for dinner


Starter - tofu and chives


Starter - pickle


Starter - bamboo shoots


The drink


We started with a appetizer consisting of 4 items - prawns, fungus & jellyfish, mullet roe, tofu


Creamy soup that has prawns, scallops and white fungus in it


And then its the lobster with curry sauce


Braised wagyu cheek


Beef simply melts in your mouth


Mixed vegetables and prawn


Grouper with thick rice noodle


Fruits


Almond cold soup with egg white


We had a wonderful dinner certainly however these are not Taiwanese food at all. If looking at what Taiwanese food is all about look at the next video below

So this is what Taiwanese food is all about



Stopped at a stall and ordered these


Fried oyster with egg and sauce ($3)


Thick soup with pork ($1.80)


Simply delicious all of them

Walked more down the street found another shop




Making dumplings


My sauces


Spring onion cake, amazing


Clam clear soup




Dumplings


Chicken


Dinner (total $11.40)


This is what I'd call Taiwan food

So this the breakfast that I have been dining at past 3 mornings. Overly huge spread this hotel's breakfast it has everything.



My braised pork rice (肉燥飯) today before I check-out from the hotel
