After my Taiwan trip, I'm definitely few kilos heavier. I'm beginning to wonder how Taiwanese women stay slim. They zip about on their scooter through the streets that are lined with snack bars and street vendors plying delicious food.
While poor Conrad was lying in his room nursing a cold on Friday night, I decided to take a taxi to the night market. So, there I was, wandering about in the night market in Taoyuan district, checking out trendy clothes that were too teeny weeny to fit me. What to do if the clothes can't fit? Why, eat of course!
I normally dislike dining alone but having light snacks by the roadside seemed quite appealing on a cool night like this.
Shoes galore!
The night market here was very quiet on a Friday night. I can imagine the night market in Taipei, which is about 30 minutes drive away, must be bustling and packed with tourists and locals.
Steamed groundnuts and other snacks for sale.
Locally grown strawberries glaced in a sugary sweet coating.
Popular fried street snacks.
Hot noodles.
I ordered a bowl of noodles topped with pieces of fried fish and vegetables.
I also tried a small bowl of gooey seafood soup.
When I came across this brightly lit dessert store, I just knew I had to walk in and order something.

The pictures remind me of my taiwan trip more than three years ago. Fruits there are especially sweet and all kinds of eateries all over the place. Jog more now that you are back huh? :-)
Hey Soul! It's good to be back.
Yes, these 8 treasures are red beans, kidney beans, green beans, barley and other jello stuff.
Hi World, for a moment, I thought the dog was a toy. It looks really cuddly. Very cute indeed.
Oh JY, you're slim, that's why!
Hi Water! I walked for 2.5 hours around Bt Batok today. I must have burnt off most of the food I ate already. Yah, I bought some jambu and they were the sweetest I had even eaten. But the ones that I bought home weren't as good.
awww, CUTE dog. Gosh, it doesn't look real. :-)
Okay... I want the strawberries, the snacks, the fried pork and noodles. I'm hungry now. :-P
WOW!!!
The food looks so delicious!!!
