East Asia 2018 Food Diary, Day 2

I had a couple hours of transit in the morning to get to my 1st destination on Day 2.  No time for breakfast.  I had lunch at the visitor center in Yangmingshan National Park.  They had a limited menu and they were out of what I wanted, so I got the golden fried pork donburi.  Not what I wanted, it was okay.

Back in the city that night, I had planned on going to a Japanese place for dinner.  The Japanese lost Taiwan after World War II, but they left behind a legacy of Japanese cuisine.  But before heading out for dinner, I discovered that there was a yakitori place not far from where I had been planning to go.  I loved getting yakitori, chicken skewers, in Japan when I was in the Navy.  So I kept with Japanese cuisine, but chose to go for my old favorite.  The yakitori was a little different from what I was used to.  The chicken came without green onions and peppers.

BUT, that wasn’t a problem.  They had a whole menu of items on skewers.  So I ordered corn on the skewer too.

And of course a bowl of rice.

It was sort of like a sushi place.  I sat at the counter by the open kitchen, and just ordered as many individual items as I felt like.  I finished up with the green pepper that usually comes right along with the chicken.

And then dessert.  Which I don’t really remember.  I likely walked past a coffee shop after dinner on the way to the subway and decided to get something sweet.  Looks good, doesn’t it?  Rich!
