Taiwan Yum Yum: YumYum Finale

It has been quite awhile since my departure from Taiwan. I apologize for the sudden stoppage of posts, but with only one more week left in Taiwan, I really had to treasure every second I had. I continued to take pictures but there was no time for sitting down at the computer to blog. Yet, even now, 5 weeks later, it does not feel right to leave Yumyum without one last conclusive post, for all the dedicated readers, for myself, for all the unforgettable foods. This last post has about 28 pictures, so it will take awhile to load. Here it is, my last week of glorious grubbin' on the island of Formosa. Enjoy!

Here is an awesome chicken sandwich I had during one of my lunches at work. The composition of sauces and toppings was simple yet unique.

Came home late on night to find the usual fried foods stand already packing up for the night. Slightly flustered, I quickly gathered my senses and made my way to the nearest 711, where I gathered this team of snacks. Sarsaparilla, which tastes like a less sweet Dr. Pepper, seaweed chips, and a refreshing grass jello. Bomb.

Considering the extreme waves of crowds and heat, there's surprisingly very few places to sit down and rest with some AC and quiet in Taipei. This leads to crucial napping sessions such as this at Dunkin' Donuts of all places...

Daikon pancakes at a local tea shop where I frequented to play card.

Sweet potato fries with ketchup.

There are a few places in Taipei that provide afternoon tea buffets. You get there at around 1 and eat as long as you want. I went to one at the Hyatt. The foods were indeed snacks, very small portions and not too many choices. But EVERYTHING was exquisite beyond your imagination.
