This trip was much needed (even though I just got back from a 1001 trips this year), because it was a respite for me. These days, I'm gradually starting to dread work, and feel so mentally and physically drained out because of work. Now that I am back, I'm not much better but.... I think its slightly better than before I went on this trip.
Despite having gone to Taipei for so many times, I find myself learning new things every time I go. This trip, I learnt ......
1. Beside Chia Te, there's other better pineapple tarts. Was staying at Le Meridien this time, and they offered 2 Chocoart pineapple tarts. They were chocolate pineapple tarts. Love it on my first bite! I love it so much that I had to buy a box of it back. They were pretty costly as compared to Chia Te, probably about SGD $20+ for a box of 8 (after the discounts).
2. Second thing I learnt, was Taiwan's bottled Panna Cotta. Panna Cotta is an italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatine. I've seen Panna Cotta around in Singapore, but I've never gotten down to trying it because it doesn't look really appetizing to me. This time in Taipei, I only got down to trying it because they were giving out free samples while I was walking around the supermarket. It was also love on my first bite. So milky..so creamy, but so smooth. And it was in a bottled form which made it very convenient to eat and walk around. They cost about TWD$60-$70. Not sure if the panna cotta is a new rage in Taipei because I don't remember seeing them previously. Now, they are all selling at those bakery, desserts counters. Can easily find them either in Supermarkets, dessert counters at Sogos.
This trip was a foodie trip to me, because everything I bought back was food! I bet I put on a few kilos after this trip.
Because this trip was a pretty rushed and short trip, we did not get to explore Taipei or outside of Taipei. But was really appreciative of the husband, who didn't mind going to night markets with me after his work. Big big kisses and hugs to him!
As we didn't go sightseeing, we did not manage to take many pictures/couple pictures. So here's my #ootd #wiwt pictures from my Taiwan trip.
