Well, this time I am not biggest liar in the world. I post my trip in Malaysia on time. But, only ducky. It seems that ducky had a good vacation in Malaysia. So did her mother. (It's me, ok?) Since ducky's mother is learning Arabic, ducky went to mosque, too. It's Malaysia National Mosque. It's really very beauiful. Said by Ducky's mother. Ducky's mother also found a nice Chinese guide there.

Well, well, well~~ In fact, our Chinese Lunar New Year will be on Feb. 18th this year. But, at that time, I will be in Malaysia. Yes, I will have a trip in Malaysia and I will write in my blog. Do you believe me? I am a liar. Cause I wanted to to finish my trip in Bei-jing before my Chinese New Year. Did I ? ha ha ha ~~What is inside that dish? Canned fish with kimchi flavor. Of course this

This is Spanish. The meaning of this is happy new year. :) This is a kind of Spanish cocktail. The name of this is Sangria. :) Today is my Dec. 31. Sunday. Yes, a day to rest. But, I still have my Spanish class to go. Here in Taiwan, we do not pay much attention to this new year, usually. We, Chinese, of course we have our own new year and of course we celebrate that day. But, nowdays, we

What did I do in my 1st pic? Testing the temperature of oil. This is a trick taught by my mother. Just need to put your wooden chopsticks into hot oil. If you see those little bubles, then the temperature is ok for scramble. I mean, for cooking Chinese food. Remember, use wooden chopsticks , not metal or plastic ones.After the tempurature is ok for cooking, add meat first. Because meat needs

Of course I can cook. Of course, good in Chinese food. But, why do I need to do it myself? It's not expensive to eat out here in Taiwan. I mean, if you do not want to eat formal dinner in a big resturant. We have a lot of night markets here, cheap & convenient. Also, we have a lot of 24 hrs convenient stores. So, it's really very easy & cheap to eat out. Or, you can just buy a package of instant

There are many western food resturants in Bei-jing. Not only Mcdonald's and KFC. There of course not only thses restureants. The reason for me to take these is to make fun of their Chinese name. Sometimes, Chinese translation in PRC is really funny.These were taken in the embassy area of Bei-jing. Well, PRC has many "friends" in United Nations, so, of course, there are so many not-Chinese

The name of this resturant is 100 kinds of dumpling in ten-jing. But, the resturant we went is located in Bei-jing. Branch resturants. :)My 2nd picture is their manu. I did not count the numbers. Maybe there really 100 kinds of dumplimgs. Seefood, vegetables, chicken, beef and etc. Really nice to eat. I saw the picture of Bush's wife. (hanged on resturant's wall) They told me that she ate here

This is a tollgate in Bei-jing. I do not know where it really is. Why? My sister's husband drove and I just needed to sit in back and done nothing. I do not need to know where it is. My sister's husband knew the place we wanted to go. Of course, my sister's home. See the middle blue board which was hanged on the top of rollgate. The meaning of those Chinese words there is Bei-jing. Is this

This is my lunch today with my classmates of arabic class. This is an Iranian resturant here in Taipei. Is the food good? well, same as you probably know, to me, food is not so important. What is so important to me? The one or the ones who eats or eat with me. With my classmates & teacher? good. Of course.(The website of this resturant http://www.persian-heaven.com.tw/ )Tell you a joke. It

He is a very famous king of the Qing dynasty and his name is empire Qian Long. (乾隆) This picture was taken in his tomb. He must slept in that "box".Do you like this? I took a lot of this kind things while in Bei-jing. If I have time, I will tell you the history of the Qing dynasty. But, it's very hard for me. Why? first, I need to "remember" it again in Chinese , then translate it into English.

What do you want to see in Bei-jing? Him? He is that famous one. Chairman Mao. His picture is hanged up there all the time. To people of PRC, he is a very important person. More like a GOD. Well, to me? He is a "place" I need to visit. Well, not taking a picture with him, can I say that I've been to Bei-jingu. I was in his land. Could I not have a picture with him? ha ha ha~~~People of PRC call

Well, it's also a big thing to Bei-jing. I mean, 1st direct flight from Taipei to Beijing at Mid-autumn festival. Mid-autumn festival to our Chinese is like thanksgiving to you foreigners. A day for families to renuin. So, when we arrived at Bei-jing airport , of course, there were many people waiting in a line to welcome us. Do I know them, of course, not.Bei-jing airport is not as big as

Can you read in Chinese? The meaning of those words on that red cloth is the first time we have direct flight from Taipei to Bei-jing at Mid-autumn festival. My mother asked me the reason for me to go Bei-jing at this time. Why? Why? Why? Because I had no chance to take direct flight to China before. I should have. At the very frist time when we had direct fleight from Taipei to Shang-hai, I was

This was taken in the airport here in Taiwan at the 1st day when I stared my trip to Bei-jing. This is my ducky. Why she "sleeps" in my sleeping bag? No~~ Not for hiding her. She can go with me and sit with me, no need to hide her. Why I bring a sleeping bag? Because my sister has no empty bed for me to sleep in her home in Bei-jing. Poor younger sister, I mean, Me. That' the reason for me to

This one was taken in a gasoline station somewhere near Bei-jing. In fact, the government does a lot of things and rebulits a lot of constructions for the really big thing in the year of 2008.So, most of toilets in Beijing are not like this. Most of them are like the one you go in your cities, I mean, with door, whole door, not half one (I went to a toilet with half door in China before) So,

I like to take pictures of toilet in China. I should say, I like to "compare" the toilets in different countries. Also, I like to wirte about the "developement" of toilet. ha ha.This time when I was in Bei-jing, I did not have a chance to go so "countryside" places. So, I did not have a chance to take a picture of the toilet which is full of shit and shit is not only full of a toilet but also

Same as I told you before, there are a lot of sections of the great wall. I really do not have too much free time right now, otherwise, I can show you my trip in Bei-jing more. I took 675 pictures. Of course, I deleted a lot. But, I still have around 600 pictures. Especially a lot pictures with my ducky. Well, "she" just fits the size which I can put in my bag. (do not tell the animal

These pictures were taken when I was in Bei-jing. This is a Tibet resturant. I do not know the address of this exactly. But, I know that this resturant is located in embassy area of Bei-jing. What do they do? They will sing first, from table to table. Or area to area. Then, they will have peronal shows or special tibet dance. Usually, after 9:00 pm every day.What is the function of the white

This is the reason for me to be busy. ha ha, now you know the reason? well, this pic was taken in October. Yes. in Bei-jing. I went to visit my elder sister and her husband. Now they move to Beijing, not in Shang-hai. So, "new place" for me to go.

Well, I have not written my blog for so long time. What happened to me? Nothing more than "busy" . ha ha~~Busy for what? For attending my best friend' s wedding.

This is what I like most in Korea. How do you call this? See the cartoon sign? the one with sun glass. ha ha~~ You can know what is this now.This is dried and added a little bit sugar in it. Not bad to eat this with beer. And, not expensive, also easy to buy. The price of this for 1 package is 600 Korean don. Around 20 NTD.Where to buy? Only need to go in to "Family" convenient stores.

I have not written my blog for at least 1 month. Where did i go? Nowhere. Still here in Taiwan. Maybe I am "testing" . Testing what? skin care products. ha ha haWhat do Korean women consider to to important? Skin, body shape, accessory, hair style, teeth, hand, clothes & shoes. The most important thing they care about is skin. So, it's not hard to find those skin care products in Korea. Not only

I think you all who visit my blog are more interested in food than other things. :) In fact, I planed to write my trip to Korea day by day. But, I think that will be boring to you. Cause most of you did not watch any Korean TV programs. That means those places I went are related with Korean TV programs. ha ha ha~~ That's why I feel so happy to go to Korea.

Is there anything special in the convenient store in Korea? No. Of course, no. Why I write this topic? Stupid topic? NO. Cause it is really a convenient store. Why I think so? See the sign, Can you understand those English words? "Family mart" ? Not hard, right? There are this chain convenient stores here in Taiwan. The same English sign. Of course, in Taiwan, we still have Chinese words on it,

Kimchi is a kind of extremly famous Korean food. What is your first picture of Korea? Of course, ginseng or Kimchi. There are a lot of kinds kimchi in Korea. Usually, we can see vegetable kimchi. But, there are fish kimchi in Korea, too. If you like, you can go to Korea and make or eat by yourself.How to make it? First, clean Chinese cabbage, then add some crude salt on it, layer by layer.

This is a kind of famous food in Korea. Same as you know, Korea is famous for ginseng. So, can they not add ginseng in every day meal or any dishes?In Korea, usually there will be few small dishes of vegetables, fishes or seaweed and a main course. See my 1st picture, there are 2 dished, a cup of ginseng wine and a plate of noodles. How to eat this? See my 2nd picture. :)The ginseng chicken is

I stayed 2 days in this kind of traditional Korean room. Those pictures were taken in the room where my roommate in Tainan & I stayed. 5 people can stayed in this room. There are 1 living room, 2 bedrooms and 1 toilet in this house. My tourist guide told us to sleep in the living room. why? Because there are only 2 people, my roommate & I, sleep in this room. If we sleep in any bedroom, can we

But, I find this is more interesting than ginseng chicken. :)See my pictures then you will know by yourself. No need me to eplain more. :) In my 1st picture, the waiter was putting pork on that pan.

My flight time to Korea was 22:30 PM on 28th Jan. (In Taiwanese local time) When I arrived at Seoul, the time was 1:55 AM on 29th Jan. (In Korean local time) The time difference is 1 hour.

This is my first time to go to a casino. I do not spend any money there. Of course, not earning any money there,too. I am not that kind of person who likes to go gambling. Of course, you can not take any pictures in a casino.

You can add meat or other kind of food inside.See my 2nd picture, my mother is adding meat into that to-fu cube. :) What is in that bowl? Meat, carrot and my mother's special flavor & food materials. :)My 3rd picture is semi-well

There are ten kinds of vegetables in that dish. Every year, my mother will prepare this for New Year's Eve dinner. Same as I said before, families shall come back and eat together for New Year's Eve dinner. This is our Chinese tradition.Why 10 kinds of vegetables? Because 10 this number is good in Chinese. We have nice idioms from 1~10. (of course, there are nice idioms in other numbers) There

Have you seen this before? Sushi train? This is invented by a Chinese in Japan. Interesting? The price of each plate on the railway is 30 NTD. Or waiter will tell you how much does a dish cost by the color of that plate.What is in front your table? Chopsticks, tea bags & hot water tap. Usually, Japanese eats with a hot cup of tea. That's the reason for tea bag & hot water tap in front of you. :)

I know, they all look the same to you. Yes? ha ha ha . Sometimes, they all look the same to me, too. The one whose hair is white, I know him very much. Because he is the one who take care of your marriage. His duty is to make matched couples. His name in Chinese is the old man under moonlight.The middle one is charge of study.(See, he is holding a pen in his hand) So, if you will have a very

The guy who with beard and in the middle of my picture is we Chinese so called "fortune God". He can give you fortune, but, you need to earn money in right way, not in wrong way. If you want money and do not want to work, you can go bai bai for other Gods or Ghosts. Not this one. This picture as taken by me in front of a shop. As you can see, you can buy decroation for new year in this shop.

Couple days before, I went to a convenient store to buy some thing cold to drink. I found this catalog. Maybe it is interest for you. There are pictures of dishes for new year's eve.

You can choose to send to your home or send to the convenient store you filled this order list, then go to the store to get it while you

I like hot & spicy food. Cause, is there ant hot & spicy handsome man here in Taiwan? or in the world? No hot & spicy man , so , the only choice I can choose is hot & spicy food. ha ha ha~~ of course, standard joke of meiyunn's style.Ususally, I can not find really hot & spicy hot pot here in Taiwan in normal small hot pot restaurants. The standard of their hot & spicy is not hot & spicy for

This is our tradition. If your shops, not only resturants, but also all kinds of shops, of course, companys are included (Companies are a kind of shops, too ^~ ^ ) , you will need to bai-bai. Similar to my pic.Not only need to bai-bai. Time & position also need to be chosed. Special time, depends on our lunar calendar. :) Usually, shop owners go bai bai on the 2nd & 16th days, of course, by our

Of course, this is for kids. But, I still like to eat this. A little bit too sweet to me, now. But, when I was a kid, I like it very much.First, you can choose the fruit you want. I mean, if you want to make this by yourself. Boil the sugar to become "liquid". Then, put the fruit into that syrup and get it out of syrup fast. The out layer of "candy fruit" will become harder in room

Days ago, a dumplings loving person told me that he thought it's polish and russian speciality. Well, I can not say dumplings originally from China. But, the only thing I can sure is dumplings must from some places where people can grow wheat there. : ) It's nice to know more people from different coumtries. :) Especially by food. :)Here in Taiwan or in China, we have another way to eat dumplings

(supermarket is located in B1) How much does this cost? 69 NTD, equals to 2 USD or around 2 Euro.There are a lot of werstern food & Japanese food in that supermarket. More than other supermarket. Also, the bakery there is nice.The one I bought is from Austalia and is salmon flavor. Nice to eat. There ought to have 8 pieces in one box, why

This is my lunch with my mother outside, today. Steamed codfish? Yes, it is good to eat in this way. Because, if the fish is not fresh, you can find it by this steamed cooking technique. Why? We do not add too much flavors in steamed food. So, the flavor you smell, the mouth feel you feel, it's the true flavor of that fish.We only add a little sliced chili(to make it looks good), caraway,

First, you need to soak soybeans over night. To make soybeans softer & easy to peel out layer. Then, add soybeans & water to mixer, high speed mixer. See my 2nd pic. Do you find anything special? Yes. Soybeans only in the middle part. Why? Cause I do not want to drink my soybean milk with out layer of soybeans.Then, boil the soybean milk slowly & keep stirring. Otherwise, you will have soybean

Beautiful? Traditional Chinese house? Tradition Chinese image to you? This is wu-town in China. A little bit similar to Venice. Well, this place is the place I went during our Chinese lunar new year this year. (2005 ) Of course, I ate a lot of nice food here. :) In fact, that day was very cold & cloudy. But, see my pic, still not bad in weather? ha ha ha~~~ I really like the view

I need to say this first. I do not this kind of show. Why? "Beauty Economics" , that's what they call this in Mainland China. The meaning of that is to use beautiful girls, or I shall say, to use young & nice in figure girls to help them sell things. See my word "use" . That means I do not think those businessmen think those girls as human beings. They treat them as "tools".This is new car show.

Same as you think, of course, sleep in my own bed with my stuffy toys.Ok, no jokes. See this fish. It seems that it is"standing " in the middle of that plate.

Yes.I think this 3 cups one is special for you foreigners. So, I decide to write this first. Why 3 cups? Cause we need to add 1 cup of soy sauce, 1 cup of saseme oil and 1 cup of rice wine together first. Then stew food with those

I-lan county is also famous for hot spring. It's carbonate hot spring. No heavy smell. My 1st & 2nd pictures were taken by me on my last trip to caoling trail. This is Chao-shi train station. You can have free hot spring just in front of train station. Not bad? ha ha. The water is very clean. The blue & brown color are the color of pool bottom.You can go to free hot spring, like my 1st & 2nd pics

This is a kind of famous food in I-Lan. Sugar pickled fruits or pickled fruit with sugar? See my 1st pic, there are 10 kinds of different pickled fruit in that box. Maybe it will need to spend 200NTD to buy for 1 box. I do not know. Cause I didn't ask. My roommate in Tainan bought this for me long long time ago. At that time, it costed her 200NTD. All these picked fruits in that box tasted sweet

Usually, when we go with local Taiwanese tourist group in Taiwan, we do not eat at big resturants or any resturants in 3, 4 or 5 stars hotels. We ususally eat at this very local resturants. Traveling agents usually have good relationship with those owners. Can you froeigners eat th this kind of local resturant? Maybe not. Cause maybe you think that it is a little bit dirty from outside view.That

Those pics were taken on the way to caling trail last Sat. I went with a 70 people tourist group. Well, I need to explain this first. I am not a person who likes to go with such a big group & boring trip. Sometimes, I go with them because of my mother. My mother wants to go some places, but no one she knows can share a room with her, so, asking her baby daughter to go with her is the best way.

It also can stretch. Do you

Can this call vegetarian sea food noodles? Vegetarian kamaboko is made of konjac powder & soy protein. See my 2nd pic. The one is my spoon is vegetarian meat ball. It is made of soy protein. Those small brown

Maybe I will show you more vegetarian Chinese foods in big feast at that time. But, so long long long time later. :)This is vegetarian fillet. See, really like general fillet? The black outer layer of that fillet is a kind of seaweed. This vegetarian fillet is made of

mm, stewed food again. Do you know? We Chinese love to eat something stewed with Chinese herb medicine in such a cool (or cold) day. Maybe the weather now in Taiwan is not cold for you. Now is around 18C here in Taipei. But, humidity. The moisture content of wind is high. So, when the wind blows, mm, cold. That the only answer I can give. *_ ^ !!This stewed chicken with sesame oil is a kind of "

mm, it has been rainy & cool in recently days. Do you know what we Chinese love to do in such days? Eat ! Right ! Eat something helpful. :) Same as I said before, penis of animals maybe the most popular food in this time. *_^ !!! I am a girl, I do not eat penis of animals. But, Chinese men maybe love to eat penis of animals in such cool days. :) (To help them become "stronger" )Not only we

No need much to say about this show. Which country has most booths? Japan, of course. Then? Asian countries. There is one booth for my favorite Egypt. :) One booth for Pero, one booths for Maxico, one booth for Mongolia & one booth for Israel. Why I mention these countries? Cause those ones are the countries I want to go. ^_* !!Of course, there are booths for America, central America, South

Well, this is really Taiwanese food, not from China. mm, I think so. At least, not from China in recently 60 years. :) This is made of rice milk. A kind of sticky & starch content rich rice. You can stir rice & water together, then, boil that "rice milk " , after cooling down, wa gui shows up. mm, maybe. mm, in my poor memory. *_^ !!The light brown liquid on the top is sweet soybean sauce.

mm, really good to eat. This is my lunch today. The price of this is 260 NTD. (equals to 65 Euro) This is sold in B1 of the 101 building. I ate this in Germany 5 years ago. I miss that flavor so much. So, when I find this in B1 of the 101 building, the first thing for me to do is to order it. *_^ !!The 101 building is the tallest building in the world now. mm, frankly speaking, I have no

Well, do you think this girl beautiful? Lin- chih-ling , the most famous model in Taiwan. http://www.catwalk.com.tw/media/shell/head-g/head-g3.swf She is so called the 1st famous model here in Taiwan. Well, but, according to our news papers, magazines & TV news, she had no chance to attend international shows. So, why do our Taiwanese like her? Men in Taiwan are crazy for her, well, will you?She

Well, do not misunderstand anything. I do not have this special "interest". Of course, I love man, ok? But, why did I take this picture? Cause there was a really funny thing happened last afternoon.I was on my way to a subway station near my home. There was a young man, 20 years old around, maybe. He asked his friend out to see this girl very quickly. So, his action made me want to take a picture

Since someone left a message for me and thought that I am very girlish(mm, yes, of course, I am very girlish), so, I went to the street famous for wedding dress today. Wedding dress? maybe this is a beautiful dream of every little girl. Why I went there? Of course, I don't need to choose wedding dress for myself. I needed to go some places near there, so , I went there and also took some

Yesterday was hot, but, I ate this. Why? I do not know. I just want to eat this. Usually, we Chinese eat stewed food(or soups) with Chinese herbs in cold days. That's a kind of herb medicine. :) Maybe I feel too tired in these days. So my body gave me a natural hint to let me to eat this stewed pig's liver with Chinese herbs.Same as I said before. We Chinese think that eat the organ or portion of

Do you see that? That is hog dog in night markets in Taiwan. New style & new flavors. Of course, we have the same style of hog dogs as you eat in Europe, America or Australia. See the spiral out layer of hot dog? The yellow one is cheese flavor, the brown one is chocolate flavor. Funny? One hot dog costs 25 NTD.This picture was taken by me few days ago. I didn't take pictures in these days. Why

This is my favorite food. Believe it or not, when the first time for me to eat this, I had no guts to eat. That was 14 years ago, when I was still freshman in university. What wonderful time it was. Though I am Chinese and I live in Taiwan, I did not know anything related with Chinese herb medicine before 18 years old. And, I almost did not eat any Taiwanese food before 18 years old. Strange? No.

Same as I told you before. There is another kind of meat pudding. The steamed one. The one I told you before is fried one. Meat circle? Rou yuan? meat pudding ? Remember?The one I ate last night is steamed meat pudding with shrimp inside. This time I found a nice seat to sit. So, I can take nice pictures and let you know how to make it. See my 2nd picture, this is steamed meat pudding, the shape

Roasted hamburger on a road? and such a big big hamburger? No! I know you know, of course. This is a big plastic hamburger. The flame is fake, not real. They put orange lights and fans down there . When those fans blow that white paper, if you do not pay attention, or you see for the very first time, maybe you will think that is real flame. Or you see it in a long distant.Interesting? I found

One another famous thing related with Washi street is fortune teller. Maybe I shall say, related with longshan temple. (http://202.39.225.132/jsp/Eng/html/attractions/scenic_spots.jsp?id=93 ) Washi street is near longshan temple.See my 1st picture, that fortune teller was sleeping. Maybe he has bad business.

Ban zhuo? How can I translate this into English? Very Hard! Casue, this is Taiwanese, not Chinese. mm, see my picture, that woman was preparing food on a road. She was preparing food for a big feast. On the other side, they were bai-bai. After bai bai, they would need to have a big feast. That woman was preparing food for them. Of course, they all ate food on a road.Usually, we Taiwanese call

I like to eat squid very much. In Taiwan, we usually put squid into boiling water for a while, then add sauce on it. Sometimes, we Taiwanese like to add wasabi on it. Or we add 5 flavors sauce on it. 5 flavors sauce? mm, there are soybean sauce, garlic, raw paprika and sesame oil . We usually add 5 flavors sauce on sea food. See my 1st picture, that man was putting squid into boiled water. In

Yes, washi street also famous for this kind of "hot". There was a place for hookers. Usually, we women did not go there alone. Why? afraid of "missunderstanding".I shall explain wahsi street more. There is a famous temple near washi street. Many people go there to bai-bai. There is a big night market also. But, maybe in a small alley, there are hookers. Thats' " before". Now, here in Taiwan, we

mm, I promised you. Althought I am Chinese, I still have no guts to eat that. Especially, alone. I asked my colleague to go with me. Casuse there is a big night market for tourists. Many nice food to eat. But, she said "NO" ~~~~.In fact, snake soup is good to people, especially in summer or when you are "hot". mm, this "hot" is not that kind of "hot". Do not missunderstand my meaning. This "hot"

This is fruit ice. The yellow ones are mango chunks, the white ones are sliced banana and the light orange ones are melon slices. There is also cream on the top of fruit ice. Is this kind of ice in western country? I do not know. It's really very good to eat such a dish of fruit ice in the hot summer in Taiwan.Why I eat this today? mm, After a long & tired meeting day, and there is a little bit

Do not need to introduce anymore. Everyone knows where this place is. Spinx & the great pyramid, this is Egypt, everybody knows. That picture was taken at year 2000. Maybe I was an Egyptian in my ex-ex-ex -ex life. *_^ !!See, how large the great pyramid is. I sat on a brick. One brick weights 1 ton. After my Egyptian trip, I didn't know where to go anymore. Cause, Egypt is the most place I

dao xiao mian? mm, noodles sliced by a knife, can you understand, now? See the noodles in my picture. Can you find any difference ? The shape of this dao xiao mian is not as general noodles. The shape of dao xiao main is irregular. Cause this is sliced by a knife, maybe I shall say, sliced by human, not by machine. So, mouth feel of this dao xiao mian is more elastic.

This is ice milk tea with pearls. Where are the "pearls"? See the bottom of my plastic cup. Those small dark brown balls are "pearls". Same as I said before, this pearl is made of casava starch. A little bit elastic in mouth feel. You can use that straw to help you to eat pearls.Have you ever found one thing? We Taiwanese like to eat something elastic in mouth feel very much. *_^ !

This time, I do not know how to translate "mian xian" into English. See my bowl, that "noodles" is called "mian xian" in Chinese. Narrow than general noodles. What are there in my spoon this time? The left one is oyster and the right one is pig's intestines. Usually, we Taiwanese have mian xian with oyster or mian xian with pig's intestines. But, I can not eat too much. So, I ordered

Miki told me that sausage in Europe is not sweet. We add some sugar in sausage here in Taiwan. But, this kind of sausage maybe you only can eat here in Taiwan. (See my picture) Usually, that man roasted sausage first. Then add a kind of flavor on it. You can choose the one you like. See, there are 14 kind of flavors on the top sign. There are original flavor, cream, honey, lemon, pepper, wasabi,

Pumpkin? No, duck's blood. Interesting?This is duck's blood pudding hot pot. (Thanks to deCinabre for correcting my English. Meat pudding. ^_* !! ) I know you western people do not eat "blood". Only vampire sucks blood, right? Maybe this is the best food for vampire.Except for duck's blood pudding, what else are there in my hot pot?

Meat circle? I do not know how to translate this. The shape of this is in a circle. Inside this are meat slices & bamboo. On the top of my meat circle(rou yuan) is sauce. Soybean sauce, hot & sweet sauce. The outer skin of rou yuan is made of casawa starch. So, after boiled, elastic in mouth feel. See my 3rd picture. That's the way rou yuan looks like.

They cost me 75 NTD. (Around 2 Euro)What is inside my bowl? Shrimps, of course. Fish meat, sea shells, fish meat syrup ball, vegetables, fish meat syrup slices. What is so special for you inside? Pig's liver.

This time, I do really not know how to translate it. This is mix of Taiwanese & Chinese Manderin. I can tell you what is inside the bowl. The one in my spoon is made of a kind of starch.
