I absolutely love lamb, mutton, and goat meat. However, it gets a little confusing sometimes because the word for Lamb, Mutton, Goat, Sheep, that type of animal is all the same word in mandarin Chinese (羊肉), so for a while I couldn’t figure out what I was actually having, it’s actually goat! Here’s my Taiwanese Goat Dinner …
Sichuan (四川), more commonly known as Szechuan in the Western world, is a province in China. Mala is a very popular Szechuan sauce or style of food from there. The direct translation of Mala actually describes the taste almost perfectly: Ma = Numb, La = Spicy. (However, I said almost perfectly because it left out that the …
There is nothing I enjoy more for dinner in the winter time than Hot Pot! In case your’e not familiar, Hot Pot is what most people call Huo Guo or 火鍋. However, it’s literal translation is “Fire Pot” (Huo 火 = Fire, and Guo 鍋 = Pot). I think its literal translation actually describes what it is …
Harbour Restaurant in Kaohsiung – This post is about the day I ate until I almost exploded… but would’ve died completely happy. This post is about my dinner at Harbour Restaurant in Kaohsiung’s Ju Dan mall (巨蛋). Basically, this place is a high end all-you-can-eat restaurant with what is almost an unlimited amount of choices.

So I had no idea that ferris wheels were so popular here in Taiwan until yesterday when we went to see two separate giant ferris wheels. One was at E-DA Mall (義大 遊樂世界), and the other was at Dream Mall (夢時代購物中心).
The Dream Mall (夢時代購物中心) in Kaohsiung is not only the largest shopping mall in Taiwan, but also the largest in East Asia. Unfortunately we didn’t stroll very long, as we came here after a whole day of sightseeing around Kaohsiung, and we were ready for some food in our tummies.

As some of you might already know, I’m a fan of the Paleo diet. It basically consists of everything I like – meat and veggies, and it cuts out all the BS (I count processed foods as BS). Well, as part of this whole meat thing, I’m also a huge fan of some free-range organic …
