taiwan BIG harvest!

here are the pictures of the super harvest we had in Taiwan. i dun think we had alot thou cos our tourmates defintely beat us in all ways! would love to be back there for more shoe shopping, chicken pipi, chicken chops, load of ice desserts and more!!! if our wishes on our lantern come true then surely there will a next trip there! fingers-crossed! the food stuff we bot filled our dining table! my in-laws were haha prepared to be shocked bah... knowing i will buy as much as i can to let every try whatever i can get from taiwan! lucky me gx bot me my long awaited agnes b bag! love it! i oso like my $5 checked pink bag!got lots of cute cute pencil, wooden animal magnets, cute little torches for the kids, the hello kitty and little melody are clocks for teaching kidos to read time. i got 2 pens one snoopy one which have 10 colours in it, and the kitty one had 6 i think. its for myself still a big kido who loves stationery!well i cover my music area too! the lime green cd had a guzheng song used in kungfu movie. haha thats why i buy! i like it! when i went to enquire the blue cd and white cd the lady told me got promo buy blue cd and get the white one free. and i bot an old dvd of richard claydeman cos when i was young he was my inspiration why i loved piano and he got me started. and of cos my favourite buy in taiwan my wind instrument! bot an orange dress or actually i consider it a along top and rest were all tops and sweaters. Gx jus bot tops, cos they berms cutting are too straight cut.
here are the "cake" harvest! the first thing to clear the very nite we arrive was our 8 mister donuts! they were very different, chewy in texture. LOVE it... and i oso love the chineses pastries in taiwan they are soft skinned and lovely!

th sesame biscuits are nice very aromatic and crunchy! the sun biscuits from jiufen was nice but my mum complained that it was too sweet. my famly according to gx eat quite bland. haha.
this was recommended i have yet to try it yet but my mum say nice. we managed to spot it right before getting outa shilin. jus to let u know how big each piece was we did a comparison foto! haha big right so we only bot 1 box cos of space problem... 3 each for each family,


this are the pastry we bot in danshui bakery. the white stuff is the mochi. bot yam and black sesame flavour. the only big pineapple tart we bot had salted egg yolk! loved it! the pastry nice and pineapple not too sweet!

this yam pastry is really nice. recommended by agnes and mic. this is bot in jiufen. at first when we tried it we say not really nice and when we came down hill to get for agnes we tried again and found it nice! then i tried to figure out why. the reason was we were drinking almond milk right before we tried it the 1st time so the pastry tasted bland. and we try only little pieces so the almond killed the taste. it smelt so good but i was surprise that it didnt taste good. so next time you wana try cakes or whatever food make sure you didnt drink or eat strong in taste stuff!
other then pastry we bot jiufen peanuts which tasted so good cold! they have dark coverings! oso in jiufen we bot a bottle of grape extract! good for health! taste like vitagen grape! danshui hei tang mochi cubes and tie dan. Duck tongue for my bro this is bot at XMT the street opposite watson. this is the most expensive cost S$20+++. the cuttlefish was very nice even when its refrigerated!



gx was doubting if my lantern project will be churned out smoothly. i was quite sure that it will turn out fine jus worried if MIL will like the surprise onot. that nite i slept early cos headache cos starred at the com too long! only next morning i woke up early sat in living roomn watching the mobile turn then when MIL woke up she told me it was pretty and she was surprised. cos in the day before she did asked me why so many lanterns are they for giving away. i didnt answer her cos i didnt wana lie and didnt wan her to know that was gog to be surprise.
