[Taipei, Taiwan] - 六季香茶坊 Six Seasons Teahouse

Once again, I find myself a tour guide in Taipei. Luckily, there are a ton of things to do in Taipei - including things I have yet to do myself! This time, I take my friend on the Maokong Gondola so we can check out some more temples and wander around some tea fields. Of course, the more we walk around and wander, the hungrier we get. It was hard to choose. There were a ton of places that were packed with tourists which made me question how good they were. Maybe they were fantastic and the tourists weren't wrong, but what are the chances? We all agreed to wander some more. We ended up at the Six Seasons Teahouse. What we really wanted was just a snack and to enjoy some local tea. It had a pretty good view, minus the power lines. I was also happy to see that they had some bitter tea oil noodles, along with some fresh bamboo.

The patio. Pretty good size that is uncovered, but also a covered area in case it rains.
Our view. You can see Taipei 101 peeking in the background. The power lines are a bit distracting, but it's a nice relaxing way to pass some time.

From the main road, the view is much better.

[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

[Daly City, CA] - Noodle in a Haystack

Image
Noodle in a Haystack is a ramen pop-up that I have been following for about a year now. Through following them, I learned that they had been working on their yuzu shio ramen for a few years now, and that they started making their own ramen because the local selection wasn't great , especially after having gotten used to the ramen in Japan (I was pretty excited to know that I wasn't alone in this assessment, or that others have suffered from culture shock moving back to the States!). Before I went to Japan and had real  ramen, I wasn't that picky. After having Ichiran and a few other random places, I just wasn't able to eat ramen anywhere. Santouka became the only place that I would go to, but their ramen is only tonkotsu. I personally prefer miso ramen, so the tonkotsu is too heavy for me to enjoy frequently. At first, I wasn't sure about going to Noodle in a Haystack because it looked like it was $50 for ramen. Let me explain why it's more than just ramen,
