weird restaurant in taiwan || it's not ugly!

When I went to Taiwan half a year ago, my friend and I we dropped by this restaurant during our tour, it was named one of the top 10 ugliest structures in Taiwan. But how is it ugly!? I totally loved it! On the main floor of the restaurant, there is a huge pool of kois and when you're at the top level looking down, it looks like you're visiting a secret forest. The food wasn't bad, we ate yam rice, some vegetables and stir fried ground beef. The food wasn't outstanding, it was simple, everyday food my mom could cook but I'm assuming we were there to look at the beauty (at least to me) of the restaurant. Sort of reminds of the "Rainforest" cafes we have here in Toronto.

p.s. I lost my Taiwan itinerary, so I don't remember the restaurant's name!

Planning to go to Asia anytime soon? You should have Taiwan on your list!!! Taiwan is well-known for their street food, especially when it comes to: fried chicken, stinky tofu, oyster pancake, marinated eggs and a whole ton of spicy food. I literally ate everything I took a picture of. If you are looking to gain 5 pounds on your vacation, you won't be disappointed if you went to Taiwan.

It's 11:32pm right now and I'm drooling like crazy looking back at these pictures. Just wanted to share with you all the food that went into my stomach during my stay in beautiful Taiwan. Enjoy and hope you have a great day :)!
