Shirley proudly displays the egg on a stick. You might have thought you couldn't have egg on a stick, but you can! I'm not altogether sure they were chicken eggs. They tasted pretty good.
It's almost like modern art. No, those aren't corn dogs on the upper left. I'm not sure what the big black brick on a stick is...
Yep, that's a 5-story SBUX...I am pretty sure the biggest I have seen, in this case right outside of the Danshui MRT station on the outskirts of Taipei. There was still nowhere good to sit.
Famous Taiwanese beef noodle soup. This one apparently award-winning. Yum!
Say HI to Shirley, Tsarina of the Chinese Market Planning Team. She, too, loves the Ice Monster.
I love the Ice Monster. The Taiwanese know a thing or two about yummy mangos and ice. This was a serious helping of mangoey goodness.
No, apparently some part of a cow's digestive system. Chewy.
Taiwanese like to EAT! And they can pack it away. I don't get it, because they are all really skinny, but there are food places EVERYWHERE and people are eating all the time. Below is an afternoon snack. I'll be honest, I am pretty unclear on what any of the items in this little stew were, but they all tasted pretty good. And somehow 2 hours later I was expected to be hungry for dinner?!
...and it didn't stop there! Next stop was a famous dessert place. I am unclear on what all is in this concoction, other than some red beans and what I think are some tapioca balls. No, those aren't baked beans on the top right. Well, I don't think so. Anyway, it was delicious!
Taipei is known for it's interesting street food. I figure it's been long enough since the deadly doner of Stuttgart that I'm willing to try a few things out. Here I am checking out the "inside of pig" soup.
