last taiwan related post

 the awesome spread of dairy treats above is what we had when we visited a cow farm. it wasn't really worth it to travel 3 hours to the farm and 3 hours back just to see cows but the dairy treats were really good! the milk was so creamy and fresh. the chocolate version actually tastes like choc koi to me. haha, and i love koi. (:

there's cheesecake up there too. it's just a small sliver of cake, but its really rich with a very smooth texture. the biscuit base was a bit disappointing cos it wasn't fragrant, but the cheese layer made up for it (:

but we unanimously loved the fried and steamed mantous. :D so good when its hot and crispy.





and i ate a really weird fish when i was in taiwan.

have you heard of the mola mola? or oceanic sunfish.

well, i have spent hours researching it in my office for bali tourism. :D hahaha so i was quite keen to try it out in taiwan.


doesn't look very out of the ordinary does it?

maybe you'll change ur mind when u see it!!!!

 it is a GIANT!!! measuring 2-4 metres long and weighing between 1000- 2000kg.

haha, it is a harmless giant though, and eats jellyfish and small fish.

people actually like to go diving with it.

the pointy dorsal fin and its enormous size often gets it mistaken for a shark though.

I for one, know that i would absolutely panic if i saw it. :/

 even if it i knew it wasnt a shark i'd still panic. how can u not when there's something this huge!

i am so fascinated by it though. haha, the meat is quite nice, but a little too chewy and rubbery.




i'd rather eat more xiaolongbaos (: 

and at the airport before coming home, i saw this huge gundam figure (almost life size) and thought of z so i took a picture of it. z sometimes talks about the skill involved in painting and assembling the thing.

so i tried to observe the figure.

 

i still see a robot.

hehe :p
