http://meieats.com Taking on Taipei one bite at a time. Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:02:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Where's the pistachio gelato? Sold out. But you still carry the flavor, right? Um. Depends on what gets delivered. I am grossly perturbed by my visit to O Sole Mio just now. The last time I visited I had to rush home to post glowing praises but today I also rushed home ... http://meieats.com/2008/03/no-sole/ I really don't hang out enough in my neighborhood. If I did, I shouldn't have missed the opening of this new(-ish) gelateria in my side of town. "Pistachio gelato? No way." Way. I've been a fan of The Girl Who Ate Everything for quite some time now ... http://meieats.com/2008/02/o-sole-mio/ No, not mine. I thought I'd be using my time wisely during the Chinese New Year break to catch up on some seriously back-logged blogging. But no. Between stuffing my face and sleeping in, I've been secretly watching a lot of food porn. I have a short attention ... http://meieats.com/2008/02/beautiful-blog/ I was going to write a blog post sometime ago entitled, "Beat this Meat" (in reference to 1010 Hunan Pop's signature ribs, not man-meat, m'dears :>) but a previous visit and a lackluster serving of ribs made me forget about this restaurant. Until this week. This visit ... http://meieats.com/2008/02/1010-hunan-pop-1010-%e6%96%b0%e6%b9%98%e8%8f%9c/ "Good spicy food shouldn't leave the arsehole burning the day after," so some say. In that case I must've hit the jackpot at the Land of Plenty*. Yours truly has been hearing quite a bit about this Shichuan restaurant out by the Dingxi MRT station through the grapevine and naturally, ... http://meieats.com/2008/01/land-of-plenty-%e5%a4%a9%e5%ba%9c%e5%ae%b6%e5%b8%b8%e8%8f%9c/ I may be cheap but who'd ever thought that I'd start eating out of a garbage dump? If I could muster the courage to eat out of the loo (at Marton. Boy, was that a shitty restaurant. Pun very intended :P) this should be a piece of cake. ... http://meieats.com/2008/01/moon-star-rotating-restaurant/ Yes, I know. I haven't been blogging. I've just been too busy with work. Truth be told, I've also been spending a wad of cash on another hobby of mine, photography, and so I'm lacking the wherewithal to grubstake my grub habits. (Check out my new ... http://meieats.com/2008/01/yus-almond-tofu/ "Egg Egg Milk." What a name. I came across a stall selling this curious sounding drink, the "Kenting Egg Egg Duai Milk" (墾丁蛋蛋ㄉㄨㄞ奶) in Gongguan this evening. It's not much of a pitch but the real clincher was seeing the round-the-block queue. Apropos to the Taiwanese ... http://meieats.com/2007/12/bubble-milk-tea-and-other-tapioca-ball-drinks/ Not food related - I ran the 9km run today! *Beams* Waiting for the official timing but from my calculations I ran it in 1 hour and 4 minutes. Not too shabby given next to no training. Hopefully, I'll work up to the 21km/half marathon next ... http://meieats.com/2007/12/ing-taipei-international-marathon-2007/ Tee hee. Totally made my day. Here is where i got this from. http://meieats.com/2007/12/interesting-stir-fries/
