YumYum Mixtape 1.0

I just realized I've been in Taiwan for a month now and after thinking about it, this is definitely one of my best trips yet. Taiwanyumyum has let me organize the mayhem and enjoy everything much more thoroughly. Sometimes if you don't take a break from the ongoing events and analyze all that's happening, you can easily forget or fail to truly appreciate the memorable moments that pass by.

On that note, I've been pretty busy lately with the internship, personal work, and eating. So sorry for the lack of updates. However, I've still been taking pictures constantly. To catch up the audience a little bit and catalog my own thoughts, I'm gonna bundle up a couple days worth of material for some expedited pleasure. It's gonna be hectic, so try to keep up...


Diana rips apart a rice patty MOS burger like a velociraptor on a baby seal.


I've tried to document every meal my grandma cooks, but with 5 meals a week and 5 dishes a meal, its purely impossible. Here's one of my favorites, chunks of chicken blood with pickled lettuce.


As usual, Lulu waits patiently until someone gives in.


Stumbled into a random food stand at Shilin night market with Diana. Here's some stinky tofu with hot oil. I meant to order the fried kind but this was enjoyable too.


Some classic cold noodles with peanut oil and soy sauce.


Half an order of crab cakes drenched in sweet n sour sauce.


The line for these meat buns was massive. They're only 10 NT each, so only bout 30 cents US. Imagine how much I could sell MY meat buns for..


Diana was adamant on getting this fried pastry covered with an egg and hot sauce. It looks deadly in this picture but was thoroughly pleasing. Is it just me, or is 80% of the food posted on yumyum fried?


A shot of PRIMO nightclub. Pretty nice. Sorry, all the good pictures are too scandalous for our younger yumyum audience members.


A refreshing self chosen mix of soy bean jello, red beans and grass jelly on ice. This definitely helped ease some of the bodily pain induced from all the fried treats prior.


Can anyone guess what edible Oriental delicacy lies within this Taiwanese chamber of mystery?


What the..!! A hamburger?! What is going on!?
-Very impressive though, comparable to a solid restaurant burger from the states. A welcomed change of palette.


Alright party's over people. Now get outta here before Nappa here has to regulate. Seriously, look at him. Look at those fingers! Do you really want to mess with this guy???!!
