Amazing Rocks of Yehliu 野柳 at Wanli, New Taipei, Taiwan

Yehliu (野柳) is a cape in the town of Wanli, New Taipei, Taiwan.  What is interesting here?  Rocks?
Well, the rocks are carved by wave and weather over many years and they were formed into shapes.
However, you might need to use your imagination to think what they look like.  The most famous one is the Queen’s Head, but since the queue is super long, we didn't get to see it.  Are you ready to use your imagination?

Some rocks are not accessible due to high tide.  The wave here are pretty strong, so watch your step.

Ice cream or oyster?

Some say looks like cup cakes, some say looks like bell, some say looks like ahem ahem

Ice cream?  Duck's head? Or Predator's helmet?

After visiting the Yeh Liu,  we went to the opposite market and found these!

BBQ Squid!  Looks so big so didn't buy this

Bought this type if squid instead.  Very fresh, juicy and chewy.  The third nicest food I ate in Taiwan after the stinky tofu and the tea egg.

Image
Our Penang trip starts with eating Penang's local food at Kedai Kopi New Cathay (新國泰茶室) . Once we reached Penang, dropped our luggages and took bath at our homestay Havara Place ), we walked to Kedai Kopi New Cathay for local food. This hawker food restaurant is introduced by our homestay owner since it is his favourite place for delicious local Penang food and also within walking distance from our bungalow homestay. Penang Hawker Food - Char Kuey Teow Come to Penang must eat Penang Char Kuey Teow , right? The Char Kuey Teow here at Kedai Kopi New Cathay has big fresh prawns as shown in the photo above. One of the best Char Kuey Teow I ever ate, but I have not eaten other Char Kuey Teow here in Penang. Most of my dates with Char Kuey Teow were in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur stalls only. Cockles (siham) spotted. A must have optional item in your Char Kuey Teow. When I'm chewing my Char Kuey Teow, it is always exciting to spot some siham swimming between the kuey teow...

Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant At Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, Petaling Jaya

Image
Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant  at Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara is one of our favorite Chinese seafood restaurant in Petaling Jaya. Before this, the restaurant was operating near Subang Airport. In Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, our other favorite Chinese restaurant is the Damansara Village Steamboat Restaurant as blogged on my blog post here . Lala Chong's specialty is their big and juicy lala, thus the name Lala Chong. We saw many customer eating their crab as well but we never had the chance to try their crab. Steamed lala soup is the must order dish here in Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant. The tasty addictive soup goes well with white rice. I can just eat the soup and the rice alone. This dish is also served with candle to keep the soup warm throughout the dinner. Big, fat and juicy lala. The lala are clean and no sand found in the body. Steamed tilapia. Fresh and delicious but personally I'm still prefer steamed Tilapia at Restoran Lan Je Steamed Fish as blogged on my blog post here . ...

Visiting Peacock Garden and Wen Wu Temple during Taiwan Trip to Taichung and Taipei

Image
On the way to Wen Wu Temple, we stopped for a while at Peacock Garden.  I think there are only around 30 peacocks here.  Nothing special if you have seen a peacock before in real life. The Peacock Garden. Can you see any peacock? A nice peacock, too bad it didn't expand the tail. A white peacock staring at my black lens. Is this a peacock or a chicken?  Looks like a chicken to me. Another peacock with nice hair After looking at the peacock, we went to Wen Wu Temple.  Wenwu Temple is located at the shoulder of mountain, north of Sun Moon Lake .  It was built in 1938 when the people are worried the water of Sun Moon Lake will cover Longfeng Temple and Ihuatang of Shuishotsun,  so they built the Wen Wu Temple. Year of Steps is the original entrance to the temple.  There are 366 steps of stair which represents the days in a year.  Now it leads down to the the Sun Moon Lake.  We just take some photos from the top but didn't climb down as we worrie...
