Fleur de Chine Hotel Breakfast Buffet

Breakfast started off with the hotel buffet. The spread was huge and I ate a lot to avoid snacking during the morning.

IMGP9653

Bacon, hashbrown, mushrooms and roasted pumpkin. The bacon was too try for my liking, the mushrooms were quite good.

IMGP9654

Salted pork, hash brown, roasted pumpkin, honey ham, mantou and a fried egg. The salted pork and ham were good, the mantou was a little dry.

IMGP9655

Banana yoghurt drink.

IMGP9656

A strawberry cream pastry and pistachio danish. Yum! I wanted to eat more but decided not to.

Chih Kan Pedders Noodle, Tainan City, Taiwan.

The tour took us to Tainan City where we visited a LOT of temples. Lunch was suggested by the tour guide, where some traditional dan dan noodles were served. This set cost $200 TWD ($6.66 AUD) each:

IMGP9657

Some kind of Taiwanese tea. This tasted like warm grass jelly without the jelly.

IMGP9660

Deep fried fish fritter of sorts. Served with some sweet sauce with wasabi in it. I preferred to eat it plain.

IMGP9661

This was termed a coffin, deep fried bread with a creamy prawn filling. Quite heavy and felt dirty afterwards.

IMGP9662

Dan dan noodle. This had a strong garlic taste throughout it and whilst I ate most of the noodles, I didn’t drink the soup.

IMGP9663

Taiwanese vegetable with the same topping as the dan dan noodles. Heavy with the garlic again.

IMGP9664

Bean curd and red bean. This had a slightly grainy texture but was still good.

Chimei Museum and Cafe, Tainan City, Taiwan

2012-03-06 16.05.19

After visiting the Chimei Museum, we had a few moments to spare before being picked up by the bus. I had a soft serve icecream, costing $35 TWD (just over $1 AUD).

Lio Ho Night Market, Kaohsiung, Taiwan

IMGP9666

We were originally going to have dinner in the night market, but the options didn’t look appetizing. I had a chicken leg as a snack which was slightly sweet and covered in pepper. Not bad, but a little dry.

Rice and Noodles, Kaohsiung, Taiwan

IMGP9668

After getting dropped off by the tour bus, we headed down the street for some dinner. We found this place which looked busy and asked for noodles. We eventually got some pork porridge with century egg, which, whilst not what we ordered, was still tasty and enjoyed by me.

Master Fang, Kaohsiung, Taiwan

On the way back to the hotel, we stopped by the local bakery.

IMGP9671

The garlic bread was a little weird. Savoury garlic butter, but the dough was slightly sweet.

IMGP9672

This chiffon/meringue thingy was scented with orange and coated with almond flakes I think. It was nice, a bit sweet, but not cakey enough to warrant another try from me.
