Xing Fu Tang - The Number 1 Milk Tea in Taiwan

 The best Brown Sugar Milk Tea I've ever tasted was Xing Fu Tang in Taipei, Taiwan .   It's even called Taiwan's No.1 Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea... And for good reason!  The branch that I visited was hidden in a corner walking distance away from Ximen Station. A line of people gathered around the store. Usually, their service is fast so there's not that long of a wait.       My family and I ordered a variety of different drinks from Xing Fu Tang... Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Milk, and Taro Milk Tea on two different  occasions.     I've got to say, I love them all... But the Iced Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea holds a special place in my heart.         Their cream is so rich and thick, it's almost like melted ice cream... Actually, scrap that. It's like you're drinking chilled heavy cream. It's good.  Their boba is tender and chewy... Surprisingly, despite being fried in sugar it's not overwhelmingly sw...

Addiction Aquatic Development - King Crab, Deep Sea Abalone, and Fresh Salmon in Taiwan! (picnic time!)

Addiction Aquatic Development If you're a foodie looking for a great place to wrestle up some grub, the one place you MUST visit is Addiction Aquatic Development.  Why? Aside from being a giant complex dedicated to seafood... It's also... THE BEST PLACE FOR KING CRABS! That's right. I said it. King Crabs. The stuff you see on "The Deadliest Catch"... You see them LIVE swimming around in the tanks. You can buy them fresh or you can get them from the grocery... Chopped up, cooked, and served in more affordable portion sizes. IT'S A PLACE WHERE BUYING KING CRABS WON'T BREAK THE BANK! You can buy lobsters, Snow Crabs, and other different species of crustaceans as well. But I strongly recommend you buy King Crabs when you're here.  The price for crabs and lobsters start from NT$ 600 (PHP1, 006.75) to NT$ 3, 000 (PHP 5, 033.77) for a generous portion.  The crustaceans are boiled and their shells pre-cracked so you can easily access the sweet tender meat.  T...

Sushi Express - A Delicious and Affordable Conveyer Belt Sushi in Taipei, Taiwan

SUSHI EXPRESS If you ever find yourself craving for sushi in Taiwan, look no further than Sushi Express. Sushi Express is an affordable kaiten sushi or conveyor belt sushi chain in Taiwan. Each plate of sushi will only cost you NT$30 which is around PHP50.33 or US$1 . They have a wide variety of menu items which you can grab from their conveyor belt or order from a server.  Salmon and Salmon Roe (Ikura) I highly recommend their salmon and salmon roe sushi.  Aside from them being my personal favorites... Their salmon is fresh, meaty, and succulent. The flesh of the fish is absolutely tender and goes perfectly with the rice. The slices of fish on the salmon sushi are significantly better than the tuna sashimi. It's a classic and a definite must have. Salmon roe is my favorite type of sushi since it's very difficult to find and when I do find it... It's expensive. It's great to be able to eat salmon roe here in Sushi Express... It comes with a half slice of cucumber...
