welcome to the room


Hello dear diary,

I have no idea what is exactly eaten in many countries until I get a small taste of it.it still leaves me questioning or wanting to see what else is eaten there.this just happened not very long ago.below I will give u a glimpse of some Burmese food .i did go out to the country as usual it happened by luck someone knew the place where there are several restaurants and not long I and the others got a taste of it. Moving on if you ask me what I thought or if I like it. Honestly not exactly but it was wonderful to grab a taste of the food around other South East Asia countries.basically I thought if the noodles were have been hot then perhaps I would have enjoyed it.the cook asked for the amount of spicy we wanted but still but not that of the best to me once more i confirm.take a look  and see the pictures and hope your journey in Asia be wonderful .



This are the 2 kinds of noodle .








lastly the fish soup along with noodles.this was the only one that was hot.








lets keep moving on with things around me. i just have a quick thought since i have been growing up in a different place than Latin America.there is this one fruit i found on local market and some supermarkets around the city.At first i didn't know exactly what it was ,since i had seen the fruit back at home and also the tree but we never ate that or never saw it at our local market.Seems people in my country don't eat it.Well , i then asked someone what is the fruit for and if it is eatable,hhaa. Surprisingly it is eaten by people around Asia but one thing is kind of smelly.so be on lookout for this strong smell which i have learned the more it smell means ready to eat.Then just now i have found out it has healthy benefits and honestly i haven't tried it except the biscuits ,which attract the smelly flavor.Other thing that i also don't know is how to buy them however there is a website here and you can read if you ever get interest in trying it off and i let you know what i feel when i get to try it.






Beach time


what is next , today .It happens that few weeks or lets say 

sometime in June i had some interest

in going to the beach.I found a friend to go with me so we took the train from the city to the 

popular and most nearest beach to Taipei. the beach is called Fulong .It takes about 2 hours to 

get there by train as that is what my friend and i took.The reason we wanted to go is play a little 

on the sand and see the  sand sculpures. With my acquaintance on getting there is to check the 
train schedule or else u might be in some trouble and be coming in a crowded train .Once you 

get there it will only take you a few minutes to get to the beach, but whoah be aware you want to 
go into the beach just to take pictures or go for a swim don't be surprise, you got to pay 100 

Taiwan Dollars.I was quiet shocked that to go to the beach i needed to pay an entrance fee. 

That is dumb to me And the other thing that surprised me was that people can't swim wherever 

they wished.Guess what you better stick to one area or the coast guard will chase you . 

Guys this is the link for the Fulong Beach ,just have fun and check it out it might not be the most 

beautiful beach but just to see the real thing be okay.

good day



A day of stopping and try to explore what is around me.As to be sure was not craving or wanting anything sweet on a hot day but i ended up buying it. Is just simply a candy that is found in Belize .It has been awhile i have been around Asia so not really worried in wanting something sweet for a small snack after my lunch hhhaa!  It just happened accidentally that i ran out into this mini market and ended buying the sweet and sour Tamarind candy. I thought it might taste similar to the country of Belize so there i have it.
this candy looks quiet different .I had seen the big rounded one but not a tiny as this on the picture below.this one is sold in a much bigger bag, so basically the price is a little high.My opinion after just trying one is that is is not the same taste .it has more sugar than the tamarind sold in Belize.





this is the small bag of tamarind in the market.







this image i got from google just to make a comparison of how it looks .
this is more delicious as i remember ,has less sugar and more of the tamarind sour flavor.

Fear Not


Just awhile ago was trying to find something to read while sipping a fruit juice and guess what.
Don’t be too shocked .it was one of those ordinary evening stopping to see what is going on and
Came across and an article of rat meat in china. Why do I point out this just that you may not fear?
The island of Taiwan as I did many times. I thought I would find this sort of thing over here and
The thing of eating worms but is way safe. So don't run up with this on your mind. They have
Some good places to eat so don't need to always end up in the night markets or the street
Vendors. The strangest thing I have found here on the city of Taipei is the snake corner which is
A snake corner. The temple is called “Longshan” feel free to take a look you don't need to try the
Snake blood or any organs.

this is the article going viral in china but must be okay in other areas you might visit.


then if you ever come to Taipei might want to go over the snake area and just take  a look there you have it .

turn and look

HI  there do you know how a lunch in Taiwan looks. that is if you want to eat the local way and are on a

rush for instance have a class within 40 minutes and are a slow eater.Well there you have it it is usually

bought in either cartoon boxes or some plastic plate.the strangest things are some sort of tofu served with it i

mean u get rice and some piece of meat either fried or stewed you name it. so usually i don't like to buy and

sometimes they seem oily even i like fried chicken but has the fat and that makes it a bit to think twice and

just buy it from the buffet .since usually these boxes are already prepared so you just grab it on the go and

pay then go eat and class or work .however if it is your first time you might try and perhaps who knows you

could end up liking it.i have some pictures to show you what it looks like .so take a look and have fun

exploring .This lunch boxes are not very expensive so you might consider buying if it is the case of low budget or just try and get out of the curiosity. jjja





take a look of it and  this chicken is stew and at the far end you might get the glimpse of the weird things that they add as perhaps think of it as a small salad. 









this is the fried chicken  and at the very low end  is the rice just same thing with the above picture as was bought in same vendor .


yet another small lunch box .just simple i thought only poor people ate like this .
