They have great food. I purposely chose my apartment here in Taichung so I was within walking distance to a big night market. Now I just have to work on my mantra "fried food is bad food...fried food is bad food" and hopefully I'll keep the pounds off! Yum! They have great food.

I've seriously stretched my stomach after Taipei can't wait to get back there. We went to Shi Lin, apparently it’s the best around.

I'm still not sure how the girls around here are so thin, especially the ones I see with a bubble tea drink in one hand and a piece of fried chicken in the other. Did you go to any of the nigh markets in Taipei? The Shi-lin/Shilin one? What does your girlfriend suggest eating at a Hakka restaurant? What did you eat there? I'm always a little intimidated about going into a more traditional style restaurant with my low level of Mandarin...and even lower level of Taiwanese...and nonexistent Hakka.
