Chicken's heart, hot milk with salt, a full plate of fried ox liver and pear, some bugs (or maybe it was feet - I couldn't really tell), frog, fermented sour milk served hot, stone soup, sweets made of sour yak milk...and the one that tops it all....an entire goat's head baked and served with carrots. All in a week's time.

Now, that's what you call a food riot!

A taste of the Middle East

Some of our purchases from the Middle East combined together: spices and crockery.

More than just two minutes of joy

Kinder eggs have always been entertaining only because I get to 'build' a toy. I still get my 2 mins of joy from them even though the toys aren't as nice as they used to be (they initially had miniature wooden airplanes and cars - and now all I get are plastiki things).



When we lived in Taiwan, the footballer would get me a kinder egg every Sunday morning when he went out to get breakfast. This ritual eventually led to the footballer even proposing to me with a kinder egg - and long story short, there was no need to 'build' the toy that time around but it has surely given me much more than 2 minutes of joy.

Cooking diaries

You know what's better than having someone cook for you?

Having someone who can cook a spinach souffle like the footballer made for lunch today.

Nothing else going on today - been lazing around the house for most of today except for the much-needed 40 mins at the gym.

An egg with my tea?

Sure, why not? But an egg soaked in black tea, along with soy sauce and spices? Not so much.

It's a common snack here in Taiwan, commonly referred to as the Chinese tea egg. You will find it in every 7/11 you walk into over here. Honestly, the contents don't sound bad at all. I mean it's just tea and spices, with your egg (much easier to digest than some of other food we get around here). It's just the visual effect that puts me off - it almost looks rotten. So it's not for me - but if you are adventurous with food you should surely give it a try when you get the chance.
