How exciting is a list of my meals, day-by-day!? I know! I can hardy stand the excitement.
Still, I’m doing this for science. There are just some things that I either can’t get at home or they suck back home.
This morning I went back for Shao Bing You Tiao just so I could get a picture for everyone. We went to a place (might as well be nameless) on Heping Rd that my wife likes to get breakfast at. It wasn’t as flavorful as the “famous†(and yet still nameless, as far as I know) place we ate from yesterday. Photographically, though, they were pretty much the same. (Incidentally, if anyone knows the name of the famous place, it’s located near exit 4 of the Shandao temple MRT station.)
Lunch: Costco, hot dog and a soda. They used to have proper beef hot dogs at Costco Taiwan, but they’ve switched to pork for the “local tasteâ€, which just means they’re aren’t particularly good, but they’re better than any hot dog you’ll get at a Taiwanese 7-11.
Dinner: Stopped in at the Emperor’s Happy Pork Chop near Xinsheng and Xinyi Rds. Two years ago I had the pork chop with noodle soup. I recall liking the pork chop but being unimpressed with the soup. This time I went with a simple pork chop and rice. It still came with a bowl of clear soup, which just didn’t have much flavor. The rice was served with a variety of toppings.
The highlight of the meal was, of course, the pork chop and it was quite good, although there was a rather large fatty section near the bone which mostly went to waste.
