YOGAYUGA

This girl is still selling lemon juice in the local market where is near to where I lived two years ago. She must says “Ni Hau!” ( How are you?) as long as someone walks pass her stall. So you can imagine that how many times of “Ni Hau” she says in each day? and she has been saying it for several years and will be more as long as her business never goes down…:) Funny eh?

I went to Taiwan after I left LA. I travelled by Eva air therefore I stopped in Taiwan for few days. Carrie joined me in this trip as she wanted to go for hot spring. I didn’t eat too much during my days in Taipei as I did eat a lot while I was in LA. The LA dinning keeps me full in my entire trip. I am feeling too happy and too sweet to eat that’s why! ^_^ Carrie ate a lot in this trip! I shared most of my food with her as I can’t finish most of them. I was invited to have dinners with ex-colleagues, UK mates and my boss, therefore I had several dinner gatherings. Here are my food photos.

You can only find such ice desserts in the local night market.

Traditional Taiwanese cuisines

Okay, I had nice dinner again tonight. It’s the second Italian restaurant I visited during this trip called Sprazzo. I had cuisines of Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, French and American seafood during this trip. They all are great restaurants. I enjoy all of them and I also love to walk around by the beach. The sunshine here is wonderful. I will miss LA.

I enjoy the outdoor dinning experience in Inn Of The Seventh Ray . The atmosphere is great! They also provide very nice organic dishes and healthy drinks on the menu.

Well…another nice dinner in a family style French restaurant called Soleli…

We went to see The Illusionist in AMC Theatre at Century City. I like the movie and the theatre but find the advertisments and trailers were playing too long before the movie actually started. It took more than 30 minutes for showing all of them.

After we watched the movie, we hanged around in Westwood. We had afternoon tea in Green Tea Terrace and shopped around in the supermarket. Green Tea Terrace offers various kinds of Japanese tea. Their ginger ice cream is very nice too. It’s also a typical student place where I can tell by the atmosphere.

Nook …..a small stylish restaurant where I find very comfortable for dinning…

The Wine and Food Festival was interesting. I did some wine tasting, but not too much. Cat Cora was doing a cooking demonstration in the show, who is from the Iron Chef on TV. I bought her book in the show too.

I cooked tonight. I tried to get some vegetables in small sizes, but is impossible! Everything is in large size here. I made Matzo ball soup, Stuffed Eggplants and Penne with tomato sauce.

I had something heavy again for the dinner. We had a nice dinner in El Cholo, which is a Mexican restaurant opened since 1923. The food is nice but I find it a bit too rich. The portion is super large! I guess I eat too much these days…
