Taiwan Day 2: Part 2

A short drive followed by a brief walk later through the paths between shophouses, we were lead to an eatery famous for its street food. Without further ado, let the photos do the talking for a while.

This delicacy reminds me so much of our roti canai. But, much crispier and tastier that is.

What we have here is essentially fish cakes in soup, made really fresh.

Simultaneously, we were served yamcakes and another delight suspiciously similar to our local 'chai kueh'. Both equally delicious nonetheless.

About the only thing I remembered when this food right here was put in front of me, was that I was stuffed to the brim. But who could resist some yummy tasting tempura? Taiwanese style!

The Taiwanese indulge in our local favorite back in Malaysia too...LaLa!

What you see above is nothing more than soda, nothing special. Not if you notice the little marble as the opening to the bottle instead of the usual plastic cap. The direct translation of the drink's name is literally Marble Soda...hehe.

We were taking a stroll on the street, lo and behold...a very Odd-Looking-But-I-Like object on the street. Did I mention that Taiwan is the land of scooters? Yes, it is.

Anyhow, we continued our journey and visited a very special attraction. This building had trees growing all over it and inside out as well. Check it out.

Nature's art on a human created canvas.

Does this remind you of a bodily part?

The group that was.

There were students snapping their very own graduation photos away with their robes. I wish I had graduation photos like theirs, which would undoubtedly be more memorable.

Another round of glorious food during dinner with more friends and we were at Taichung!

Right after dinner and for the first time, we experienced the Taiwanese night market atmosphere and they are affectionally dubbed as "Yes" as the pronounciation in Mandarin is just that for night markets.

It was nothing like our pasar malam and in fact, down right crowded. I also cannot help but noticed that most of the workforce in these night markets are young people.

Anyhow, all "Yes" looks the same to me so here is a shot of the moving crowd amidst the human traffic madness.

Next up, we checked into this really cool hotel afterwards and more activities for our 3rd day. Watch out for it!
