Fuzhou Pork Pepper Bun (Hu Jiao Bing 胡椒餅) at Raohe Night Market in Taipei. I wrote a long list of food recommendation for Taipei on my blog 👆🏻 BUT this pepper bun might just be my favorite one among the entire list. I found the famous Fuzhou Pork Pepper Bun at Raohe Night Market, where the bun is baked en-masse by sticking the dough, filled with peppery minced pork, to the sides of a large cylindrical oven. The result is a very tender, juicy, and very peppery pork bun. I’m a huge fan of pepper so I was sold from the first bite. Fuzhou Pepper Buns is the very first stall you see if you enter Raohe Market from the North East side, next to Songshan Temple. Hat tip to my friends @o20ne and @michael.paravati for this recommendation! #shotoniphone8plus #girleattaiwan

I’ve had the opportunity to travel and sample traditional foods from different destinations, but I’ve never been able to do anything like @girleatworld does.

Is Japan Cool? 🇯🇵 I am partnering up with ANA (@allnipponairways_official), my favorite Japanese airline, to show you my take on what makes Japan a cool place to visit for their #IsJapanCool campaign. Most of you know by now that I'm a huge fan of Japan and Japanese food. It's difficult to not love Japan when everything there is crafted to perfection. Take this Matcha Green Tea ice cream for example. This is one of the most memorable food I had in the many trips I've done to Japan – It's probably the most perfect green tea ice cream with matcha powder at the perfect location in the alleys of Gion in Kyoto. Matcha is a form of green tea where the tea leaves were grounded finely to form soft green powder. I'm a huge fan of green tea, and this ice cream truly embodies that perfect flavor of green tea – aromatic, slightly bitter but sweet at the same time. Then, to add more to the taste, you can opt to sprinkle Matcha powder on top of the ice cream.

Hi everyone!!! I'm back with a little… 4 year challenge. I managed to find the same Bakso push cart in Gili Trawangan that @singasongjess and I visited 4 years ago! I swear it wasn't planned – I was just biking down the road, spotted a bakso cart and of course I had to stop. It was only after taking the photo and comparing it with the one I took 4 years ago that I realized I was actually standing at the same spot! He was still charging the same amount per bowl. The island has changed quite a bit though. The first image was taken in 2019 and the second image is the one I took in 2015. Swipe right/left and spot the difference. What is Bakso? Ask any Indonesian about Bakso and i'm sure you would be met with excitement. It's a small bowl of yellow noodles, meatballs and fresh beansprouts in clear beef broth, served with fried shallots, chili and kecap (sweet soy sauce). Bakso is traditionally sold on the street in a small push cart (called "gerobak" in Indonesian) that would go around the neighborhood during supper time and you have to catch the bakso guy at the right time. Because of its small portion, we normally eat it as snacks for supper or midday between meals. Nowadays you can also get them at restaurants for a meal-sized bowl. We got this off a push cart in Gili for less than $2 and proceeded to eat it on the side of the street. #shotoniphone #iphonexsmax #giliislands #gili #lombok #lombokisland #beach #gilitrawangan #visitlombok #explorelombok #girleatworld #indonesia #bakso
