 this is the braised pork knuckles w fingerling potatoes. baby LOVE the potatoes. this meat is juicy, tender, full of flavors (punch). good for meat eaters, maybe too heavy for ladies. for me? i love it. the gelatin from the skin nearly killed me. super tasty.

 baby enjoying herself.

 this meal was actually my treat for baby's b'day. ok, still not yet....pre-celebrate.....i told her, kick off the celebration with a powerful start.

A very nice dinner despite the shitty job

i have to admit dat the recent biz trip was way way better then previous ones.
reason being different projects. at least i can hav a few hours sleep in the hotel b4 the nxt day starts. i hav to stay in the factory for at least 48 hrs in the past. continuous. hw's dat?
no wonder i look old n fat.
hate this job. gah.

 this restaurant is in tainan. selling dumplings.

 my colleague n i (yes, 2 ppl) ordered shit loads of food. taste ok, but super big servings. we were stuffed to max for this meal.

 we went walking around to digest. look at the ultra big watermelon we saw in the super mkt. dun b fooled by the appearance. the watermelon is super sweet here.

 we went n continue our walk to a nearby nite mkt.

 this is damn awesome. wild boar meat. bbq on big big fire. damn tasty n tender n juicy!!!!

special 滷味found oni in tainan. the variation here is sweeter than those in taipei. n the stew the stuff on the spot, so it was still pipping hot when u buy them. v nice i think. an extra fragrance to it. i like.

 the wild boar meat w garlic pcs. v nice lor.

 this thing has no meat la. i suck n suck. ok lor......

 super duper nice chix feet. boneless. i asked for extra spicy. was crying when i ate them. super nice (alamak, drooling now)

 this is dinner w the bosses. bulldock i think.

 my restless SM n R after a long day's work.

 the food here is so so. nt worth mentioning. i prefer taipei. seriously.

 we traveled bk to taipei from kao shiung n reached taipei at 11pm. super duper tired, n this is wat i saw when i step into my hotel room. fantastic service.

 i bought coffee. yes, at 11 plus at nite.

 bought a cake to go w the coffee. i noe, i shdnt b eating at that time. i deserve to b fat (*wink at MQ*)

 we went to the Taiwan National University to meet a professor.台大leh.....they told us that most of the buildings were there since jap occupation.....creepy though......

i have been feeling super grouchy recently.

the stupid ass in my dept is driving me absolutely nuts. i am doing most of his job. y shd i b a kindergarden teacher????? damn pissed off.

i've decided that i nd to perk myself up, so i went on a date w baby.

 this plc is a tapas bar opened by famous celebrity chef luke mangan

 this is one of the best sangria i've tasted. baby camwhoring, trying to snatch the limelight.

 perfectly shucked oysters. fresh n sweet.

 taco w prawn tempura n mango salsa. refreshing.

 grilled pumkin n pear w spanish blue cheese n spice. i love blue cheese. yumz.

 grilled iberico pork loin w mint n yoghurt sauce acc by lentils. my fav dish of the day. super tender pork w lightly charred exterior.....sweet n juicy, n the yoghurt brings a refreshing taste to the dish. buonissimo!!!!

 no, this is nt a pc of chao dar bread. this is grilled beef tongue w tangy sauce n fried cauliflower. aquired taste n texture. but i love this. the more u eat, the more u want.

 fried soft shell prawn with aioli sauce. super sweet prawns w super nice garlic sauce. u can eat the pranws w the shell. love this.

 look at the internal of the tongue. super tender. a freaking big pc of tongue though. hahaha.

the churros r light n fluffy. goes v well w the choco sauce n vanila cream. fantasically done. super light too (to my surprise) 

it looks so "foreign" outside. dun look like singapore. i love this new plc. this will b one of my fav hunt out from now on.

the super good dining experience was ruin by the stupid ass in my dept who sms-ed me at 11pm. yes, 11pm
sms me to ask me abt stupid things, which i found out 1 hr ltr, dat its him who interpret the email wrongly. he even dare to challenge me when i ask him nt to jump at every single little thing.
i have a feeling that he will get it from me real soon.
get me out of this shit hole. quick!!!!
