[Medford, OR] - Ooblies Waffles

Following my post on Burgerville as a pit stop for the long stretch of nothing between Portland and Sacramento, is another stop that I made recently. Ooblies Waffles is a food truck not too far from the freeway, gas station, Fred Meyer, and Dutch Bros. It just get so tiring to drive so far and only have McD or gas station snacks as my meals. The trucker life is not for me!

That said, on our way up for Dogsgiving* I decided that we needed to stop here to give it a try. I have to say, I'm glad we did! Those waffles have a nice initial crunch before you get that buttery fluff inside. They have savory and sweet waffles to choose from. It was hard to pick. I prefer savory food, but I like waffles to be sweet. Or not, I do love hot sauce on my chicken and waffles at Roscoe's! Either way, it's nice to know that there is yet another place to stop to eat.

*Dogsgiving - a Thanksgiving weekend that included my brother's dog, his girlfriend's two dogs, his roommate's two dogs, and his roommate's parents two dogs. Dogsgiving. Dogs for days. 

The Ooblies truck.

Buttermilk fried chicken and waffle. Savory, sweet goodness! It has a cider slaw to go with the mild spicy tang of the chili sauce. I liked this one more than the mac daddy.

The Mac Daddy. A bacon macaroni and cheese waffle! Carbs on carbs on carbs! Get an iced tea, as it does get a little salty after a while.

[Kaohsiung, Taiwan] - 桦達奶茶 Huada Milk Tea (Original Location Only)

Image
If you are a milk tea fan, this is a must go spot. It's one of the oldest tea milk tea shops in Southern Taiwan, and from the looks of it, do everything the same as they always have. This post is only about the original location. They have many other locations around the island, but this was the first. I'm told the other locations aren't that great and some people even told me not to try it. But, I like trying the originals, and I have loved milk tea since the summer of 1992 so no harm in throwing down 30NT for one, right? When I mentioned to the local milk tea shop owner that I was going to Kaohsiung, he said I have to try Huada also, so that was definitely good enough for me! Located close to the Yangchengpu KMRT station and in a smaller road, remember to watch out for those scooters! They have a good variety of drinks, but I ordered the original milk tea. They shake it with ice so it's cold, but probably not cold enough for American standards. This milk tea is d

[Kaohsiung, Taiwan] - 查理布朗咖啡店 | Charlie Brown Café Taiwan

Image
I have been a huge fan of Snoopy for as long as I can remember (which is a long, long time). Having already been to one of the Charlie Brown Cafes in Hong Kong, I figured why not also go to the one in Kaohsiung? If you want to go, it's pretty easy. Kaohsiung has an MRT system like the one in Taipei. Take the red line to the Hanshin Arena KMRT stop and walk up Baoi Road 2nd to Baoi Road 3rd. You should see the Hanshin department store on the left. Just walk a few blocks and you'll see the Charlie Brown Cafe on the left side of the road (same side as the department store) with the cross street of Zhizhen Road. It's pretty hard to miss! If you're lucky, it's not too busy and Snoopy is available to join you for some afternoon coffee, tea, sparkly drinks, and/or snacks. Lemon mix blue curacao/檸檬藍柑氣泡飲 When I went to pay at the counter, I saw that there were these super cute waffles in the shape of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Woodstock. How often

[Taipei, Taiwan] - 富宏牛肉麵/Fuhong Beef Noodles

Image
This is currently my favorite beef noodle restaurant in Taipei. It was on my list for a while (like so many other places, but always so many places and so little time!). So what makes it so special in a city like Taipei? I judge by noodles, broth, and meat. Some people care about the location, cleanliness, and service also, but I'm willing to overlook most of that for a fantastic bowl. Which is exactly what this is, at Fuhong Beef Noodles. Incredibly simple, extremely beefy, and supremely hot and satisfying. For now, this is it for me. Of course, I intend to keep up the search because there are just too many shops there and I think unless I lived in Taipei and had nothing else to do, I wouldn't be able to get to every single beef noodle restaurant! Bowl of beef noodle soup (medium size) with some seaweed and pig ears Accoutrements:  辣牛油 or "spicy butter," 辣椒粉 or special chili sauce, 辣椒醬 another chili sauce, and pickled veggies As soon as I sat down I
