Last Monday was a holiday in Taiwan, and our friend Xiao-hui (also spelled “Shao hui” in some blog articles) invited us to join her party at Neiwan, a touristy town in the mountain region.
We made our way down under this bridge to a flat area beside the river.

Dear Readers, it’s been awhile since we had a strictly food article, and week 14 of 2011 was an interesting one. So let’s get right into it!
Hui-chen and I had dinner at the Rainbow Restaurant in Hukou. That’s pork/garlic/basil on the right and fried egg Thai salad on the left.

This, the last installment of our 2010 USA Trip series, is bittersweet because it deals with one of our favorite countries – Japan. We wish our Japanese brothers and sisters all the best as they deal with restoring things to normal after the terrible natural disaster that afflicted Northeastern Japan.

All too soon, it was time for us to leave and head home to Taiwan. We had a fantastic time in the USA, saw sights and people I haven’t seen for years, most of them new experiences for Hui-chen. We packed our bags and boarded our flight to Narita, Japan. But there were some unexpected events that occurred along the way home.

This post is for people who love real smoked BBQ!
On our last day in the US on this trip, I wanted to use the wood smoker again. It had been so long since I had cooked with one that I needed the practice to get back on my smoking game. So I chopped up some wood and started another cooking fire in the fire box, using white oak, which is what I normally like to cook with.

I know we’ve dragged this series out longer than any other we’ve done, but we’re coming to the end! After this installment, we’re going to show you what we did on the last day, and then what happened to us on the way home, so there will be 2 more and then the series is closed. I recently traveled to the Philippines and I want to start a new series on that trip, so without further delay, we bring you this installment:
People love ‘em or hate ‘em. There’s no middle ground with Krispy Kreme. Personally, I love them. When I was a kid, our favorite place to go after church on Sunday was Krispy Kreme. Hui-chen had never even seen one before so I made it a point to take her to one and sample their brand of doughnuts.

After New England, we returned to North Carolina, where we had 2 weeks until our return flight back home to Taiwan. We spent quite a few days relaxing out by the pool and enjoying the local cuisine.
We checked out the new downtown baseball park for an evening game.

As we head into this new year, we’re coming to a close on this series soon. On our last day in New England I wanted to take Hui-chen to the North End, the famous Italian section of Boston. Years ago I lived in the North End, on Charter Street and there were some things that I wanted Hui-chen to see, and also I wanted her to experience some of the delicious food that the North End is famous for.
We turned on Commercial Street and headed into the famous North End of Boston….

There was another place that I wanted to take Hui-chen. We had seen this place on TLC in Taiwan, and Hui-chen expressed an interest in visiting there. So, naturally I had to take her. Where are we talking about?
We headed to Revere, Massachusetts.
