Fried Chicken Hearts and more....


Like I mentioned previously I wanted to try chicken hearts at the Market. As you can see there was ice around them, which is not something you see often here. While trying to communicate with the seller a girl was standing there and saw how hopeless I was and helped me-- this is typical Taiwanese behavior. I took the opportunity to ask her for any recommendations, she picked up a skewer with there round things in it. I kept thinking to myself, please do not let it be meat. I cannot eat another piece of meat ( most of you know that I am not a big meat eater, and I find that most of the foods we eat always have meat, even when you don't expect it to !)
Lucky for it, it was deep fried bread- well so I think it was! I never got to ask her exactly what it was. We had a short conversation where I learned that she was a student at MCU!
About the chicken hearts, they were good. I had never had them fried before, it was a little spicy but nonetheless it was tasty!

As I sit here in my room to write this I keep telling myself I need to keep blogging more and more because I know how important it is for me to remember everything I am feeling and experiencing. In all honesty, this is really hard.
Rachel and I decided to be a little more adventurous and go to the Food Court. It is basically what you think it is, a place full of restaurants in close proximity. Now, the main problem was we could not communicate very well with people. After looking around for a menu we found a place with an over simplified English menu. As a sat down, I looked at Rachel and said. I hope I did not order what the people next to us are eating...and of course. When I got my plate, it was just that! A sticky, crab omelet. The taste was good, the texture was interesting to say the least!!!

More to come soon!!! Headed to a Hot springs today!!
