Around the Island - 環島 (huán dǎo) - Part 5

Food in Taiwan is wonderful, tasty and healthy. There is only one thing I complain: hotel buffet breakfast. Seemingly there are many things to eat, but when I look closer, I hardly find anything I want to eat. There is no bread, different kinds of bread, no cereals, no cheese, not familiar meat products, no porridge. They have this:




This


And this


Here is the breakfast plate of a friend who is used to Asian breakfast.


And here is what I found suitable for my breakfast, oats with milk and coffee.


(THIS IS ADDED LATER: The real reason I didn't like Chinese hotel breakfast was that nobody told me how to enjoy it. Now I know better: you take a bowl of rice porridge and MIX all kinds of ingredients into it. And surprise! it becomes very tasty. The good thing is that you can choose yourself what your porridge will taste. In conclusion: I was ignorant).

But everybody love cakes!


East coast, especilly East Rift Valley is the most beautiful and pleasant part of our trip. Mountains on both sides, wonderful countryside, very little traffic.


HOKKI LA! is an expression of good wishes in Taiwanese language.
