Din Tai Fung, Xiao Long Bao Expert

I am not the type that has to try appetizers, but their house special got me curious. :D 

This one is great! A must try House Special Appetizer. 

Getting ready for my Xiao Long Bao

I tried Pork Xiao Long Bao and the Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao. Both are highly recommended! =) 

Din Tai Fung's Wintermelon Milk Tea

I honestly do not remember if the Xiao Long Bao tastes the same with their Taiwan main branch, but Well, its just me. All Xiao Long Bao tastes the same already...?! ehehe

Fat Fook Taiwanese Kitchen in Glorietta 1, Ayala Makati

Having gone to Taiwan and enjoyed all the foods in there, I kind of well craved for a Taiwanese Cuisine.. and just had to bring my friends along to a restaurant when we met up.

Luckily there is this Taiwanese Restaurant called Fat Fook Taiwanese Kitchen in Glorietta 1. Their menu looks perfect and reviews are good too. =)

We tried the salted egg prawns. So the thing is, I'm not sure why the shell is not removed. It tastes good but drawback is that you can't fully eat it well coz you will have to remove the shell! =(

Sweet and Sour Pork is good, serving size is too small. 

We ordered Spicy Beef noodle set and it comes with a bowl of rice. This is their best seller; sure tastes good too, especially if you like spicy food. Also, we ordered Xiao Long Bao which is a must if you are to eat in a Taiwanese Restaurant. 

A day (and night) in Taipei 101

The concert venue of the Kpop Concert we are to attend is right next to the Taipei 101. 

Here's a photo of the Taipei 101 day and at night. 

Inside the Taipei 101 were a lot of high end shops and food stalls. There was also a grocery right next to the food court. The food choices was a variety of different cuisine. There's Singaporean / Malaysian Food, Chinese Cuisine, Indian Food, Fast Food, Shaved Ice Desserts, Fresh Fruit juices and Bubble Tea.

So we really had a good amount of time in there, for some really good food at the food court, and of course we just have to try out the best Xiao Long Bao or Soup Dumplings in Taiwan. It is in the same level as the food court. The queue is long, there was about 40-60 minutes of waiting time and that is about 20 people ahead of you, and yet people wait for their turn.

Sticky Rice

Soup Dumpling

If you are in Taiwan, You must also not miss trying out the Shaved Ice Desserts. 

Some good take outs or pasalubong shop is also in the Taipei 101 food court. It must be really good as we saw a couple buying like at least 10 boxes whilst we were walking around and looking for something to eat.

Also, in Taipei 101, We bought their MRT Easy card for $120. For Souvenir! =)
