Taiwan -1-

We came back from Taiwan to Utsunomiya, and both of our daughters came back to TOKYO. Yuki's vacation was finished, today he went to work.  I cleaned all the rooms, had lunch by myself -- and , usual life has started.

Taiwan, it is a foreign country to us, but here and there we see Japanese.  Here and there we heard Japanese. Elder people talk Japanese naturally, some people can speak English.
We went to Taiwan on a tour at bargain, so it wasn't a gourmet trip. But of course we enjoyed "foods".
M loved airline food.











In Japan DinTaiFung　is really famous with SHORONPOU. We have been to Shinjyuk branch to eat them. BUT we were really eager to eat them at the main restaurant. So we went there. Many people were waiting in a line. Probably half of people were Japanese, and the half of them Taiwanese.  The taste was good and as same as ones at Shinjyuku branch. Anyway we were satisfied with eating them at the main restaurant.

In Japan Chinese dumplings are familiar. So we didn't find new kinds of dumplings. But an interest thing is that they are eaten for breakfast.
Thanks of M (she loves to talk with anyone in Japanese? in English? in gesture? in Kanji? --- I don't know. ) , a hotel front desk took us a small restaurant where local people eat breakfast.

In Taiwan we saw signs of SOY MILK (of course written in Kanji), and we knew in Taiwan soy milk was really popular. So I would have tried to soy milk, but the hotel front clerk recommended to have rice milk. So we ordered two cold ones and one hot one. The taste was --- (I don't know whether you know it) --- Japanese SHIRUKO (Azuki beans sweet soup). Taiwanese rice milk seems to be made from rice and peanuts.
