Fu Long Beach Golden Sand




Fu Long Beach. Sounds like along beach, its about 3kilometers on coastline. It is quiet long for me to walk. Its located in northeast coast at New Taipei City. Another name for it is the Golden Sand beach. Look at the tiny waves, so many but not really big waves for now so I did’t see any surfers around. Other beach activities could be surfboards, canoes, kayaks and other water sport ready for rental. But the big thing here is making sand castle along the beach. People make their sand in various design, from Hello Kitty, Doremon, Choo choo Train, Buddha and everything else, see it for yourself in the photos. How is sand castle made? Water and sand. Yes but I did hear of that they add some form of chemical to make it stick. Maybe some sort of water glue. If not I guess the sand castle will not stand too long.

Dinner In Taipei


Somewhere in the city, in some streets.This place ‘Zee’ has a live band performance. The bands here are not those famous celebrity yet but they seem like students and young teenagers singing at their best. Not too bad. Never know when a song record producer would walk up to those talented singers and take them in to groom them. That would be like striking a lotto lottery. Well you have nothing to lose; all you need to do is sing with your heart. OoOoooOoO… hhhh…
 How about the food? It was average for me. They served salad just like in the photo posted. The dessert came with a pudding and strawberry with biscuits. It was not sweet, neither sour. For the main dish, you could choose the seafood which comes with fish fillet with prawns, clams and mussel. Another main dish could be steak. They have others, you can have your pick on the menu. Bon Appetite! The appearance was not to bad but the taste was rather blend. So average it is…
 While enjoying your meal, you could listen to the “future to be singers”. Lalala…. Ooh…

Taipei ZhongXiao FuXing Sogo


Sogo is a shopping centre. There is a train (tube) direct to this building, so it makes shopping much easier. Once you reach the stop you will see the signboards directing you to the shopping centre. Here are some pictures on the building. Not just shopping but they do have a food court somewhere at the ground floor.
Oh.. Food, here I come. As I reach the mouth of the shopping centre at the ground floor, there were a couple of stalls selling this pineapple cakes. I bought some pineapple with egg yolk cakes. Walking along, I bought another pack of nougat. What else? I grab a packet of snack, the Chocolate Popcorn by Oishi. At that time, chocolate popcorn was not a norm and has yet to be sold in my country.
 Let’s continue our food quest. I bought a maple pudding, this was nice, worth having one. Going on next was a cake stall called Berry Milk, need I say more? I bought a cake for myself topped with a strawberry. Oh my, I am shy now as I feel I am a glutton because everything I write here is about food. But it fits my name of mini food travel blog.

 
I saw a Chinese restaurant whereby they made a transparent glass to show their chefs making the Chinese Dumplings. Very hygienic as all of them are wearing masks. Thumbs up! I have been to many food outlets, but I was really sad to see that those staffs preparing food had no mask or wearing their mask on their chins instead of covering their mouth. One of the outlet was Sushi- Tei, yet worse, they were chatting along the way while preparing food. It was so unprofessional!
