Food Trip: Taiwan Day 2
Day 2
Our Day 2 in Taiwan was quite exhausting. We traveled for hours just to reach every destination and it even rained! We had to buy rain coats because our umbrellas were not quite functional under heavy rain and strong winds.
Our first stop for the day was Yehliu Geopark. Before reaching the park, we bought milk tea from a cafe near it, which was one of the best milk teas I have tasted. We had this for 50NTD.
After exploring the park, we had our lunch in a nearby seafood restaurant and had the best-est and freshest seafood ever! We ordered fried rice, boiled shrimp and fried crabs. I forgot the exact name of the restaurant and the dishes tho.
I swear, these were one of the freshest seafood I had in my life! Even the color of the shrimp was different compared to those in the Philippines. You don't even have to devein it! Super happy tummy. 👍
After lunch, we then traveled to Shifen to light up a sky lantern. We bought only one snack, which was Peanut Ice cream roll. It tasted fine until cilantro took over 😓. You have an option to include it in your ice cream wrap or not but we just said yes to every question the seller asked to avoid longer conversation 😂. We had 3pcs for 100NTD.
After Shifen, we proceeded to Jiufen via taxi. It rained so hard but it didn't stop us though it was really tiring. We had Beef Noodles which was included in our list.
It was relieving to eat a hot noodle soup with that kind of weather. But there was this one seasoning(?) that Taiwanese people use that actually has an after taste. I can't explain it but they use it on every dish, even on bread, and you can smell it everywhere especially on food stalls and restaurants. From the time that we ate the noodles until we reached our next destination, we can still taste that "seasoning" which made us feel uncomfortable.
We had a scoop of ice cream for dessert which we bought from an underground mall. T'was sweet enough to make the aftertaste of the Beef Noodles to disappear. This costs 25NTD.
That was our 2nd day in Taiwan :)
