Good food and friendly people (Taiwan Part II)

When we studied in London, JingBin used to tell us about how friendly people are in Taiwan and how good the food is. We challenged him and promised to come to Taiwan to see for ourselves.

At our first night in Taiwan, we were invited out for dinner by JingBin's parents (picture 2). We went to one of the best restaurants in the capital Taipei and had an otherworldly gastronomical experience. Numerous exotic dishes were served, and combined with the friendliness of our hosts we had a wonderful experience. Try baked papaya with mixed seafood (picture 1). Or how about a coconut filled with tender chicken in coconut sauce. Or deepfried fresh fish. Or white carrot cake..etc. As if that was not enough JingBin's parents invited us home for a fruit dessert the following night (picture 3). And it was, of course, excellent!

After two days in Taipei, we took a bus to the second largest city Kaohsiung, where JiaLing lives. Here we got to meet JiaLing's family as well and were invited out for dinner. And again, it was delicious.

Upon leaving Taiwan, our conclusion was that JingBin was absolutely telling the thruth back in London last year; the people of Taiwan is very friendly and the food is excellent!!
