MOS BURGERS!!!!!!

Considering how much MOS BURGER I eat in Taiwan, I think it's time for post dedicated just to some Mos. Even though they are just burgers, for some reason I feel like it might be one of the things I miss the most once I go back to California. Maybe Mos for dinner tonight then?


Teriyaki Chicken Burger. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the dryness and lack of flavor but I've heard great things about it so maybe I just got a bad egg.


According to the elders, when I was 4 yrs old or so, I spent a summer in Taiwan and every day after day care, I HAD to eat Mos Burger Fries. That was back in the day, when there was only one Mos in all of Taiwan.


My favorite item on the menu. A fried shrimp burger with a lot of thinly chopped lettuce and some crazy sauce that tastes like thousand island/ tarter sauce/ mayo. Every burger is made to order so the shrimp is always still steaming hot when you break the fried exterior.


The classic Mos Burger. Love it too. The patty is very dense and flavorful. Fits nicely with a thick tomato slice and a chili-like sauce.


A potato patty. My dad loves this one but I am not too interested. I eat it sometimes just for kicks.


Witness the joy that MOS brings to children all over the world.

Ice In, Fire Out

Here you can see the refreshing crushed ice desserts Diana and I enjoyed at Meet Fresh (the name of the place) about 1.5 weeks ago. That is also approximately the same time my stomach took a turn for the worst. Since then I have been mutilating innocent toilets around Taipei without mercy. One of the many benefits of writing Taiwanyumyum is that I can use all the photos I take for it as an accurate database for what I've eaten and when I ate it. I am still currently analyzing the immense amount of data, but the dishes you see below are very high up on the suspect list. However, The possibility of it being the cause of my traumatic intestinal issues is unassociated with its deliciousness. So jump into the past with me and try to enjoy the cold treats below without thinking about the unpleasant aftereffects.


Red beans/Ice/Condensed Milk. The simplest and best ice dessert in my opinion, though probably not that many people agree with me. You can't tell from this image, but this plate was HUGE. So HUGE that I could barely eat it fast enough to prevent the melting mountain of ice from overflowing over the edge. Many children strolling past my table commented to their mothers about my situation.


I'm not really sure what's going on here but Diana really digs it so maybe it's okay. I do know those things on the left are squishy taro balls. Wouldn't mind a couple of those guys chillin' with my red beans.
