While waiting for Kabil to arrive the next day for lunch, we decided to try out this interesting Taiwanese delicacy named Snowflakes. I was pondering over the name until it arrived. It's made mainly of thirst quenching shaved ice top with any toppings you desire based on the menu. They have 3 series such as Snowflakes series, Memorable Series and Tohua Series. Since it's our first time trying it out, we decided to try the Snowflakes series (cold)- it comes in either hot or cold. Our order came with grass jelly, grass jelly flavoured shaved ice, taroballs and creamer. The taroballs are chewy and have a slight taste of yam and mango. It is truly delightable.
We also tried the Memorable series on the following day as we just couldn't resist the temptation from having it again plus the weather is just killing us. This time we had the Lemon jade Jelly Ice. This is a real thirst quencher. We were both surprise as it really soothes our throat that actually wanted cooling water in the first place. A must try. =)
After having this for our appetizer before lunch, we met up with Kabil and headed over to Din Tai Fung for some steamed dumplings. Being the lamb in this huge city, well sort of since I'll practically get lost on my own, it's my first time going to DTF. Was asked to try out the juicy steamed pork dumplings and gosh, both of them were right! They were steamed in such a way that when you bit a tiny tear in the dumplings' skin, you can actually taste the juice before resisting the temptation to gobble it up in just a couple of seconds. It's tender and I don't think I even mind ordering that and that alone. *sighs*
A couple of dishes that we had was the egg fried rice which is so different from your ordinary fried rice. In every bite, you can feel and taste the eggs that has been generously added to the fried rice. The rice itself is another story because it ain't your ordinary fried rice. I ordered the pork chop noodles and yes I was struck by another kind of cupid that solely ruled over food everywhere. Noodles were made by hand on the spot when you order and it just makes it a wonderful and satisfying meal. Now I wish to go there again. =)
and no meal is complete without century eggs =)
