Food Porn in Taiwan :D

I know it won't be complete without a food porn post for my Taiwan trip :D. On this year trip, I didn't take much of the food pics as most of the time we ate in restaurant and almost everytime when the food reached to me, they were half eaten. Also when we had the opportunity to eat at night market, it was always raining. Sad I know. So for this post, I'm going to combine the food pics that were taken from my last year trip to Taiwan too as on that trip I did eat a lot of foods! Hee... Enjoy! :)

(Warning: long post & pic heavy & mouth watering :p)

The famous Ah Chung rice noodles

Ding Wang Hotpot

This drink is absolutely good! It has my fave green tea and barley, what more could I ask :D









Oyster omelette

Stinky tofu

Cheap and yummy beef steak









Stinky tofu

Glutinous rice in bamboo

Fried sweet potato ball



Haha! I know you all must be drooling now :D *evil smile*

Haul from Taiwan

As I've said on my previous post, I went Taiwan by joining a tour group so I've expected that I won't get much time to shop. But nevertheless, I still got to grab some beauty stuffs there :D

A bunch of MBD masks that I bought to share with my sisters and friends. They were doing a promo in Cosmed for buying five packs of any kind of MBD mask from natural line, we'll get one pack of White-tea Peony from luxury line for free. They told me that this promo will last until May. I think it's a pretty great deal.

Of course I didn't want to miss FaceQ masks that from the same company of MBD masks. I got all four of them :D
(Green: Luffa Adlay, Blue: Ocean Aloe, Red: Red Pomegranate Co Q10, Purple: Grape Seed Green Tea)

Last haul from Watsons. I only went to one Watsons store there, and was disappointed that it didn't have some stuffs that I wanted. But still, I got to buy some stuffs from my list.
 
First row: Cleansing sponge, Kawae oil blotting sheets, Mentholatum Acnes UV Tint, Carmex lip balm in green apple.
Second row: Hadalabo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask, Nexcare Acne Dressing, MM Lash Expander Frame Plus, Canmake Nudy Glow Rouge in 04 sugar milk tea, MM Honey Pump Lip Essence, Koji eyelash curler no.71, Canmake Cream Cheek in 01 peach dream.
 
I didn't buy the Hadalabo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion but my sister did and she's loving it right now. Instead the lotion, I got the masks. Haven't tried them though. 

I was going to check out the Lush store in Taiwan but sadly it turned out that Taiwan's Lush got some problems (read here) and all of their retail stores were closed on the exact day when I was in Taipei. Sigh... What a coincidence...

That's it for my Taiwan trip's posts :) Till next time!

Trip: One Week in Taiwan

I went to Taiwan last week with my family and relatives for around one week. We joined a tour group, and toured from Northern Taiwan to Southern Taiwan. We did have a lot of fun but it was tiring because we changed our hotel everyday and had to wake up very early. We visited mostly scenic area. These are the highlight pics of my trip from day 1 to the last day in Taiwan :) Enjoy!
