Short Trip to Taiwan
Re: Short Trip to Taiwan
What lamb? The "mutton" was goat meat. I always knew mutton to be older lamb, e.g. 1+ year old. But since being here I have found that mutton is goat and real mutton is nowhere to be found.

Re: Short Trip to Taiwan
Goat meat is actually healthier for you than lamb, beef and pork, apparently its called Mutton in most of south Asia and the Caribbean

Total baller. How the hell can anyone get through that much food and booze in a few days? Are you 200 kilo or something?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Short Trip to Taiwan
Thank you for this post Monsenior Yong. This point you make about the National Museum in Taiwan having all the national treasures of China is no small consequence and has a lot to do with the coveting of Taiwan by the motherland.yong wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 9:20 amThis 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.

My last meal with my suppliers was on Wednesday afternoon lunch. We went to a chicken restaurant
Located in a secluded place and a tiny lane, easy to miss it if not for this sign
But it looks new
The inside
The 7 of us booked a private room
Chicken glutinous rice (has to pre order one day in advance)
Simply heavenly with all the sesame oil and rice wine used in the cooking (I must learn now to do this)
Garlic chicken with chinese herbs
Meesua (rice fine noodle) in chicken brooth
Local green mushrooms
Fried chicken with salted egg
Palm flower
Tofu fried
The spread
Fried fish
Very traditional Taiwanese village food

Re: Short Trip to Taiwan
So this is Taiwan's HSR (High Speed Rail). We were taking this train back to Tao Yuan Station and then off to Tao Yuan Airport
Comfortable and spacious
Serving drinks and snacks
So the above are the last photos of this trip. Hope you like them.

@yong Do you take any sort of medication to digest all this food (without exploding) ?

Re: Short Trip to Taiwan
All very nice if you're a business traveller.
My memory is of excellent street food at reasonable prices, that's both street stalls in night markets and the lower end small restaurants. All good.
Also worth mentioning: the people were great; not over pushy, but genuine.
