Dream Lamb-chop

My sister asked me: what do you want to eat the most when you are back in Taiwan this time? The first dish came to my mind is the lamb-chop made by a cool beard-guy in Tainan. Its Chinese name is "東北十三香烤羊肉." In translation, I infer that the lamb-chop has been seasoned with thirteen different kinds of spices and that may be originated from the Northeast of Mainland China. (Well, I've heard that the owner's wife comes from the northeastern part of China.) Anyway, the lamb-chop was a little crispy outside and juicy inside. Combined with various seasoning, it was surely a perfect match with a glass of red wine, or maybe beer.

Riding a bike to Anping and all the way back to my home took me around forty to fifty minutes. It was nice exercise when I had no access to any workout center in Tainan. As a matter of fact, I stopped by a fitness center called "Workout Factory" near my home. The price for one-year membership would cost me six hundred US dollars which was six times of the price in ISU. Wow~~~again, I was spoiled by the gym in ISU.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, I bought a giant hot dog which cost me 50 Taiwan dollars (almost 2 USD). Well, it was just a piece of hot dog wrapped with bunch of fries. Believe me, I was sweating like hell while eating that hot dog. I should have just bought a cup of bubble tea. ^^
