The Pinoy Byahero

Fuhang (Michelin Rated) was not on our list of places to go to Taipei but my sister asked me to look for it. On our last day in Taiwan we went to Fuhang Soy Milk in Zhongzheng District. We went there around 6am. When we arrived there was already a line starting at the Ground Level, going all the way to the 2nd Floor. This is the Line when we finished our Breakfast The Line was moving fast and in 25 Minutes it was our turn. As you go nearer the Counter you can see their Kitchen on the Left. You can watch how they make their breads (If you will take pictures, turn off the flash) They have an English Menu located at a Stand so there is no problem in Ordering, just point to what you want.

It had Chives inside and was very Filling. 2. Egg Pancake $30TWD - This was DELICIOUS ...

The other day we were supposed to eat at another restaurant along Lilac Street but when we arrived at the Restaurant it was still closed and so we ended up at the nearest restaurant we could find. The Restaurant that caught my attention was Dapo at Tisa. Formerly an Old House and repurposed into a Restaurant. There were a lot of Diners at Dapo at Tisa when we arrived and that was good.  Staff were friendly at Dapo at Tisa. We were asked how many we were. We seated ourselved at a big table for 6 (we were just 3). The Menu of Dapo at Tisa looked like what i would usually eat at home. There were so many choices. Since i was reducing my intake of meat i concentrated on the fish dishes. We ordered the following, Prichon, Sigarilyas, Adobong Hito sa Gata, grilled blue marlin, cucumber lemonade and Dapo Secret. Our order arrived after a few minutes. The first to arrive was the prichon. It consisted of 7 pcs of Lechon wrapped in wrapper. It was delicious!! I wish i coul...

The last time we went to La Trinidad we did not do the Strawberry Picking. When we went to La Presa they also had it but they said there were no more strawberries available for picking. When you arrive at the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad you will first be greeted by rows and rows of Souvenir Shops, Strawberry Ice Cream Sellers, Strawberry taho Vendors, Strawberry Sellers.  The first to greet us upon getting out of the car were the Strawberry Ice Cream Vendors. I bought a cone for P25.00 and it was delicious. And if you thought that was it, you are wrong. As you get nearer to the Strawberry Farm, more and more rows of Stalls will greet you. And this time more sellers of Strawberries, Strawberry Wine or Strawberry Jam. Just go inside the Strawberry fields and someone will surely approach you asking if you want to do Strawberry Picking. We entered one of the Strawberry fields and a lady greeted us and asked us if we wanted to do Strawberry picking. We asked how...

Since we did not avail of breakfast at the Hotel we went to Choco-Late de Batirol for Breakfast, It was still closed when we arrived, they open at 7:30am. The place is very nice, located just beside the Igorot Park, Choco-Late de Batirol's location is just perfect.  We ordered the following: Vigan Longanisa - This was my order and this is delicious. Liked this a lot. Tocino Kalabaw - This was my sister's order and she did not like it. She asked me to taste it and when i did it was just horrible. NEVER ORDER THIS. Daing na Bangus - Got to taste this also. The Daing na Bangus was a bit itchy to the mouth but otherwise quite good. Bibingka & Suman sa Lihiya - Both were not good. The Bibingka was just cake. It had no cheese or Salted Egg. The Suman sa Lihya was not good, it was not sticky. they probably did not use Malagkit. and of course Chocolate de Batirol - Perfect for Baguio weather but there are other Chocolate de Batirol much better. Overall ...
