Afternoon tea vs. high tea. Let’s start this post out by discussing these two terms. Basically both are tea times, but actually bottom lining them are the timing. Afternoon tea, also known as “low tea”, is assumed as the having tea activity when we heard “high tea”. Involving things like manner, afternoon tea is meant for social-gathering during mid-afternoon and up until now is adored mostly by women.
One very special day (12.12.12) my dear roommates L, F, and I planned to have a celebration (just kidding – we realized it only afterwards though).. Anyway, December (new month!) is coming so we kinda feel like deserving a lunch off with yummy food 😉 (we hope to schedule at least one lunch-get-together session every month). Moreover, there is a trendy cafe cum brunch place in Gongguan just short walk away which L really wanted to try.
Monday Blue?! Nope-nope! Monday Red and Green probably I would say.. 😆 coz Christmas is coming? Partly true, but another reason is because we had reddish and greenish yummy pastas for our dinner!
Posing besides xiao long bao, stinky tofu and shaved ice, beef noodle (牛肉麵, read: niú ròu miàn) is popular all-around the globe as Taiwan’s iconic food. What makes this noodle so special?
It was Oct 22! So what?! Yeah well, there was just small thing worth celebrating, so we were looking for a place to have dinner. Learning there is a nice bistro opened by Singapore Les Amis’s ex-chef, off we dialed RSVP’ing for the night.
Do you guys know what in this world that can’t be joked? Please gimme 2 answers! Alright, I believe some of you can make a good guess for the first answer: “Marriage”. You got it right? Great :). How about the second answer? This is a tricky one though ;P.
It was an accidental encounter we could probably say. Previously, we (actually I, but anyway I would have dragged my partner as well so..) roamed around Yong Kang area to kind of trying to look for the famous Ice Monster stall one day, but it was nowhere to be found.
Are you guys familiar with toast? I believe most of you have tried it many times. How about honey toast? Is it toasted bread spread with honey? Well, maybe, but Taiwanese has their own unique style.
