Street Snack at Taipei

Hello, welcome back!

I will take you back in my days traveling  studying at National Taiwan University. After opening ceremony of BACT summer course program and touring around Taipei on the first day at school, my new friends and I will explore street food at night. I was grateful that I can hunt for food with them because I have food restriction (can't eat pork) and my knowledge of Chinese language is close to zero >_<

If I'm not mistaken we gathered outside the dormitory at 6 pm. If I remembered there are several student that gathered that night because we just met and couldn't wait to get to know each other. There were Clara, Rebbeca, Jingyi, Joshua, Bao Chai, Heder, Jinhui, and I that hungry and eager to explore Taipei street food. We met and Joshua lead us because he already exploring the area around campus and this was not his irst time visiting Taiwan. We explore the street near our campus and dormitory. Yes, our dormitory is outside campus but it only 10 minute walking. 

The street area is not too different with the situation in Indonesia. If you are studying in Malang it feels like Sumber Sari Area near Brawijaya University. If you studying at Bogor it feels like Babakan Raya / BARA (Dramaga). It is only slightly different.. The food is slightly higher than the price at Bogor or Malang, but if you life at Jakarta the price probably about the same. As we know Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan so it is understandable that the price is higher here. 


I finally find this one food seller that serving food that I could eat and reasonable price. Most of my friend were already got their food. It was very hard to find street food here that not containing pork. People here eat pork as their source of protein, during war the only animal that were abundant is pork, so it was understandable they use it as their main protein source. This vendor was actually not pork free.. But the pork meat only for the topping. Hence by eliminated the topping I could eat this food.

My happy face anticipating the first street food I bought.

I ate it and it tasted so good!

No wonder it tasted good because the lady used a cool tools to cook it ^_^

We strolled around again for a while before going back to dorm. I was happy and grateful meeting with very nice students that help me out a lot during food hunting moment. I will writes more about my day in Taiwan so keep reading my blog and check out my new updates.

See you on next post.. XOXO..

Lady Roslyn Chadwick is in dire need of husband. She is a granddaughter of a very wealthy duke who recently passed away. She promised to her grandpa to marry as soon as possible but it isn’t the only reason why she have to get married quickly. She have long distance cousin Geordie Cameron who really want to stake claim on her grandpa inheritance. It is not an easy task for a rich heiress like her when she is 25 year old virgin who doesn’t have any suitor. Lady Roslyn is very pretty but she spent 6 years to nurse her grandpa and doesn’t have time to look for husband. So she come to London asking help to her friend who is a widow Frances. On the other hand the famous formidable rake Lord Anthony Malory (Youngest from Malory brother) is avoiding every ball. He never like the attention. Not only for his good look but also he have pugilist skill which also famous and known as unbeatable make his appeal even more rising. The bad boy and dangerous aura is a magnet for the opposit...

Weekend Travel around NTU Campus

Today is a holiday. I explore place around the dorm in holiday. I like the architecture here. And I found a tiny area for children to play. The children can play happily here. In Taipei, most of the citizen living in apartment, they don't have their own garden. This public space for children is very useful. This is very nice. The child plays happily Even though I do a solo travelling but I feel safe because the neighbourhood is not crowded. My destination is Taipei Grand Mosque. I search on google map it is not far from the dorm. So I go there and planning to pray there. Taipei Grand Mosque It is not as big as I imagine considering Indonesia grand mosque is so big with 10 floor. The mosque only has 2 floors but it is clean and comfortable. I pretty impress because there are a lot of people in the mosque. Apparently, there is someone die. In Muslim rules if there is someone die then at least 40 people should pray for the corpse and wishing he has a pleasant...

Mount Qixing Taiwan

Today we will hike Mount Qixing. I am so excited because I only hike Mount Bromo before. When we arrived, first we se a very nice movie in a mini theater. I really like the animation and the movie help us understand about the volcano. The movie tell us about how volcano and eruption happen. After that we start to hike. There is Mr. Woody that from time to time stop to explain about some plants and bugs we encounter during our walk. I am the last one that coming. Thanks for Jack and Sinmin that help me a lot during the hiking. Even though I am so tired to hike I can’t help but put a wide smiley face when we take picture. It is actually a very nice experience because I don’t think I will do it if I am not join BACT. Eventhough my pace is very old lady like Jack and Sinmin always keep my motivation high. Finally after a very hard hiking (we took a hardest path) I am at the main peak of Mount Qixing. It was hard to keep our eyes open because the wind is too stro...
