Miss Peach's photostream  

with a cup of warm whole milk, and I was all set and ready to watch Supernatural after the 2-month looong mid-season break ^O^ but the scene of Jensen Ackles' character Dean doing the Hannibal Lecter impersonation was so hilarious I almost knocked over my cakes... XDDD

so I just got a small pack of the cake as present... hmm, for years I kept thinking that honey cakes and those Japanese castella cakes are the same things... but apparently traditional castella cakes aren't made with honey so they're not honey cakes at all~ I did not know that.

enjoying afternoon tea @ Meloty~

there's only a handful of people photos in my photostream cuz I don't like to take photos of people... it stems from my own dislike of people taking photos of me.

I take photos of myself but I don't like to have others take photos of me... XD

friend told me that this is a new restaurant that's been in business less than a month and apparently has been getting super long lines everyday... the place won the championship of the beef noodle competition in Taiwan for 2 years straight or something, hence the craze.

we didn't try anything else on the menu so dunno how the other things are... and I got this very basic one. I didn't really examine it before I took the photo so I didn't know... otherwise I would've shot it in a way to show the difference more clearly... cuz it came with both beef shanks and beef strips. I was surprised... I've never had beef noodle soup in Taiwan before where it's served with beef strips.

the meat was the best part - cooked nicely, looked pinkish and not overcooked and all that... noodles, maybe it's cuz they're this type of flat thick ones, they tasted a bit too doughy (thin noodles can be ordered too, maybe they'd taste better?!)... soup, was tastier than what I tried at another place the other day, but not anything like a really good bowl of beef noodle soup in Taiwan that'd leave its flavour linger in your mouth looong after the meal.

verdict is that it's definitely not worth the $11 high price! some crazy price, which I knew before I went and was quite shocked to learn we were gonna go eat some noodle for $11... O_O

dunno why within 10 days I had beef noodle soup twice... they said it's the recent craze here now in Vancouver. I'm not eating another bowl anytime soon tho... cuz I just realized that actually I like Japanese ramen waaay more than this.

a cup of hot chocolate with maple dipped donut~ I was in need of some sugar fix! XD

ah, first milestone of 50th photo~ I realized that I've got no theme for the project... I guess depending on what I did on the day, it'll probably just end up being a mix of food, scenery, things in and around my place ^O^;;;

and I'm still getting used to the camera so its full potential hasn't been quite realized yet... ^O^;;;
