hi Brunty. i spoke too soon – another problem cropped out but fortunately it was fixed under warranty. John had a great time here and he’s already thinking about coming back next time! i’m glad you’re back to posting Brunty. it would be a loss for your blog to go totally dark my friend. take care!

hi Stephan. when thinking about showing John around, i also thought about my first time in Taiwan. i also found it to be very different and quite an adventure. i sort of combined the best of my first and second trips here and rolled it into one long 19 day tour. John took about 600 photos and i also gave him copies of mine, so he has some things to show friends and family for sure! thanks Stephan.

How did your brother like his visit? Is he ready to visit again?

I enjoyed your pictures of the scenery and food dishes. The taffy in the bun did not sound good and you carefully said it was different. Looking forward to more of John’s visit with you both.

Reminds me of the first time I came to Taiwan – everything was just sooo different. Even after having spent many years working and studying abroad from my home country … it was still so very different.

It was a wonderful experience. In part probably because my girlfriend’s family welcomed me so warmly, and showed me everything they could think of – having local contacts gives you an understanding of the country which you can’t easily get as a tourist.

Of course exploring entirely on your own also makes for a great adventure.

MJ looks like your brother was well looked after the first 4 days. Thankfully I have just had dinner but still have pangs of hunger pains after looking at all that delicious food.

Great that the computer problems are fixed and look forward to more of John’s trip.

Happy New Year! I look forward to more posts. Agree with Brunty on the food comment.
I have found a source in town for sweet potato leaves. So will not have to leave this island for Seattle.

LOL… “mainland beauty”?
I know the chinese slang used, and it’s not as eloquent as you put it.

It’s actually a small version of the romaine lettuce.

Cheers,

Thank you for letting me know how to cook sweet potato leaves. What is usually cooked with the pumpkin in pumpkin soup? I see more than pumpkin in the picture. Thank you again. The food dishes look terrific.

???? is probably a mistype for ????

? (gan4) is a ‘colorful’ word in the Taiwanese language not to be abused easily…

hi Brunty. well, like you, we’re blessed by living in a country known for it’s excellent cuisine. i do like a nice burger once in awhile, but unlike some Americans I know, i do not seek them out when traveling. glad to have you commenting in our blog, as usual Brunty. take care.

MJ I was looking at these on your Facebook page yesterday and my mouth was watering my friend. The Teppanyaki beef looked great and as you said perfectly cooked and not over-done.

I like you at times feel like a burger or something along those lines and thankfully there are a few places here in Ubon that now do a good burger. The are not Thai owned though

Thanks for sharing mate and making me hungry

hi Carolyn. thanks for your kind words. we don’t like to keep our readers hanging but sometimes things interfere with our writing! sweet potato leaves are probably my favorite vegetable served in Taiwan. until i moved here, i never heard of them being served anywhere before. it’s rare to use milk products in Chinese style (and most Asian) cuisine, so the pumpkin soup sans cream is normal here. Christmas is not celebrated in Taiwan so there aren’t any traditional foods served during for that holiday, except for places that cater to foreigners (which i avoid). take care, Carolyn.

Welcome back! I have missed seeing your blog updated. I love seeing the different foods, especially the vegetables. I have never heard of eating sweet potato leaves. I love sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Pumpkin soup here usually has cream in it, so it is nice to see it elsewhere without the cream. Every dish looked good, except the bacon, cheese burger. Sorry.
Will you be doing a blog on what food dishes are served at Christmas time there?
