![]() So many people and websites recommended Addiction Aquatic Development for magnificent seafood, so we just had to check it out. First off, this market is huuuuge. It's like a department store for seafood. We first walked into a room full of tanks with live seafood. That's how you know it's fresh. It then connects to another marketplace where you can buy sushi, noodles, drinks, and more. There were also many restaurants surrounding this seafood market as well. The food choices were endless. We decided to buy all our food from the marketplace and hunting for a place to eat in the marketplace instead of the restaurants. We bought sushi rolls, sashimi, fried rice, fried fish, shrimp, and clams. AAD's sashimi pieces are enormous and super tasty. Everything here is larger and more affordable than America hehe. The highlight of the meal was the uni, or sea urchin. I've had this in America, but nothing compares to Taiwan's uni. It was an explosion of sweet, unami, and tasted like the ocean. This uni was amazingly delicious. You definitely have to try this, but if sea urchin isn't your thing, don't worry. Addiction Aquatic Development has a multitude of seafood. It made me change my diet to seafood- when I sea food from AAD, I eat it :)

![]() Taiwan is known for their popcorn chicken, little bite sized pieces of fried chicken and Hot Star is taking this concept and making it huuuuge. Their XXL fried chicken is not an exaggeration. It's as big as my face! The exterior is crunchy, fried perfection. The breading is thick, so it's able to keep the chicken inside juicy and succulent. This immense piece of chicken can feed a family but it's so yummy you may not want to share ;P Most of the people at the Taipei Train Station is not even there for a train ride. They're there for the food. Taipei Train Station has tons of delicious restaurants ranging from tepanyaki to noodles. One eatery that everyone is lining up for though is Uncle Tetsu's Japanese cheesecake. First of all, you can see them making it right on the spot. It's guaranteed fresh and it adds a lot to it's incredible flavor. Now, forget everything you know about cheesecake because this is unlike any that I've every had before. It's a souffle cheesecake, light and airy, in contrast to dense New York cheesecake. Every bite of this souffle cheesecake melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. It's an extraordinary thing, this cheesecake, so don't miss it. Just follow the smell of freshly baked cheesecake.
Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you had a great holiday because I sure did hehe. We flew back to Taiwan to spend time with our family over winter break. It was an amazing experience. My mom, dad, and sister, and I are the only ones that live in America. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are all in Taiwan, so I was very excited to see them again. And well what better way to talk and reconnect again than through food? Specifically the delicious, unique cuisine of Taiwan. Now Taiwanese and Chinese food are similar but there are some differences. Taiwanese cuisine is centered around smaller, appetizer like dishes, similar to tapas. Its flavor profile is sweeter and more focused on seafood. Taiwan also has made up many original dishes, like boba, stinky tofu, and beef noodle soup. I'm excited to explore all these dishes and more with you! Stay tuned for Taiwanese delicousness :)
Signed, Cute Diner Boca is a neighborhood restaurant that we just had to try. To start off, their garlic flatbread is a wonderful appetizer. It's garlic cheesy deliciousness. Moving onto main dishes, their calzones are awesome and huge, stuffed fulled with cheesy goodness. As for their pasta, it's pretty good too, but nothing special. Their clam linguine has lots of clams, so that's a bonus. The gnocchi has a nice texture with average flavor. I think that their dishes were pretty expensive considering how average the food was.
