The contest has ended, and I'll be announcing the 4 lucky ladies who'll be receiving the bows very soon! :)
Continuing from my post here on my first day in Taiwan.
The myriad of colors and smells and noises at Shilin Night Market is a jolt of excitement to the senses:
A massively long queue for the famous XL chicken chop!
There were a couple of XL chicken chop stalls at the night market, but being typical Asians, we went to the one with the longest queue.
Spot the different headgear sported, hahaha.
Process of purchasing chicken chop:
#1 Eager and hopeful for a yummy chop.
#2 Impatient with anticipation...
#3 Hand-clapping when the first chicken chop neared our hands.
#4 Delirious with happiness when chicken chop reaches my hand.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the prize-giving ceremony wtf.
Golden crispy glory. There is no chicken chop XL enough for the Hoe family, wahaha.
Funky cuttlefish soup, whereby the cuttlefish was too tough to be eaten, and the amount of soup was too little to be consumed. Wonder what's the purpose of this dish eh.
Fried bee hoon with braised pork.
Fried oyster with egg (or jien), Taiwanese style.
I still prefer the or jien in Sitiawan, the Taiwan one is too starchy for my liking.
Dessert with more starch wtf.
This (sausage wrapped in glutinous rice) looked blush-inducingly obscene.
Pigs as pets! So cute. But I don't think my dog will like them very much.
Elastic jaw.
Taiwan has a lot gimmick restaurants, for example the toilet restaurant (whereby the entire restaurant is designed with a toilet concept wtf: the chairs are toilet bowls, the food is in the shape of shit...you get the drift). In fact, there is one opened in Sunway Pyramid now. Be careful when you visit the site though, it makes shit plopping sounds whenever you hover on the links WTF.
Anyway, we saw another gimmick restaurant that's worth a special mention.
This is a risotto restaurant which looks pretty normal right?
But the concept of the restaurant is to serve food that looks like dog food, hahahahaha.
Click for larger image.
The rice is all mushed and mixed up and dumped into a stone bowl to look like it's, erm, food for the dogs. I wonder whether they provide cutlery or we have to lap the food up like a dog wtf. And check out the menu! They have Sit-Down Combo or Shake-Hand Combo, hahahaha.
The name of the restaurant is Ah Mao.
For those of you who have studied in a Chinese school before, Ah Mao is like the most generic name for dogs in textbooks (Ah Wang is a close contender wtf),hahahaha.
Y'know, kind of like how Abu is the generic boy name in Malay textbooks.

I love the suede elbow patch on my sweater! I've been looking for something with preppy elbow patches forever, and was over the moon to find one with real suede ones! :D
I brought a piece of this sweater to the recent Chicpop sale, and I had so many people asking about the sweater! Everyone wants a piece. :D All because everyone fell in love with the suede elbow patches too,heh. Love Korean stuff! :D
Owh, and who can forget my most important accessory for the night!

I love your hair, what product do you use to make ur curls stay?
anonymous: Hi dear, I permed my hair, so I don't really have to use any products to make the curls stay! I just scrunch them up when they are wet,and add in some serum. :)
yvonneling: Oh, I've tried the red wine chicken/mee sua before! But I always associate it with confinement food, hehe. What's gong piang though? :)
haha... yah...the local ladies will always be served with this noodle during their confinement! haha. so u r also right.but its also served during big days like birthdays or cny etc etc festivals..gong piang is something like roti naan but its small and it have like ingredients inside. there are several types of gongpiang the most famous ones being the ones with onions and the one with pork. u should try them the next time u come here! =)
hmm...isn't ah mao for cats though?
mmm gong piang! they look so normal and, well, not pretty, but oh so nice when you bite into a hot one!
yvonneling: ooh, gongpiang sounds interesting! Will definitely try it the next time if I go to sitiawan!:D Are you staying in Sitiawan now? :)
misst: It's not ah mao as in 'ah cat', but as in 'ah fur',hahaha. The 'mao' means fur, which is a name usually used for dogs! :P Now I am really curious about gongpiang!
