Final Food Post

Well, I think this is the last food post until I take some more pictures of good/interesting stuff. I might make another food post because I think this one might be long like the others.


I was out with my roommate, Olivia, and a few of her friends and I noticed we were passing by a bakery. We went inside (yay!) and there was a lot of good looking stuff. The first thing that caught my eye was a cute (and delicious) looking cake.


It had strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate cake. There were chocolate sprinkles around the edge and it was soooo good. I got some other cream things and Olivia told me that the people who owned Domalie (the bakery) said that I should eat the bread before the next day or else the cream stuff in most of them would go bad, so I gave one of the pieces of bread to Stan, who comes sometimes with the menu at lunch. I think he was happy to get it. That's what it looked like; it was probably sweet bread (really good bread that's like dessert bread).


The last thing I got was a doughnut with chocolate frosting stuff and chocolate sprinkles on top. I had it for breakfast (nutritionists everywhere gasp hahaha) and it was really good. It's funny I've lost a little weight since I usually try and get some bread/chocolate item to eat for a snack.


This is another view for the patchwork cake. I got another one like it the second time I found a bakery but it looked like a neopolitan ice cream bar instead of a quilt, but still had strawberry-vanilla-chocolate cake.



I went with a girl from the U.S. named Tina, a Taiwan student named Betty, and two other friends of hers to a hot pot restaurant. It was really good, but I didn't finish everything; there was a lot. I got vegetables and fish with mine. You just pick whatever you want from the plate they give you and dump it in a little round pot in the bar surface that you're sitting at. It starts boiling so the stuff you have gets cooked. The slices of fish I had cooked really fast and they were good. You can put everything in at once or just a few things. It's fun because by the time you've put a lot of ingredients in the pot you have a soup that tastes really good, with flavors from whatever you put in.

I had a mushroom that I put in the pot; it puffed up like Remy's mushroom in Ratatouille (haha another Ratatouille reference, have you watched it yet?). I thought it was cute and I actually ate it. I used to not eat mushrooms that much. It was really good and so was everything else. I liked the little skinny white mushrooms too. There was even a piece of pumpkin with my ingredients and I didn't eat a lot of that but I ate my piece of sweet potato. I love sweet potato now. I had a sweet potato on the homestay at it was still in its jacket and the potato was really yellow. It was soooo good. I saw a sweet potato like that first in a movie called Ip Man, who is the guy who trained Bruce Lee in martial arts. Never knew that.

Anyway the actors were eating sweet potatoes in the movie Ip Man and I wondered what they were; now I know, and they're a new favorite vegetable. I hope I eat them more when I get home (I never ate them before). When I watch movies sometimes I think "Man if you're an actor they don't just pay you, they give you food! You get clothes too but if you get food in movies and have to eat it for a scene you'll almost certainly get to keep it!" LOL.

Well that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know if there is anything you would like to hear about. I am open for questions and I like when people ask. I know there's a problem going on with the commenting system, so don't worry about that, though. If you have my email or know someone who knows me then just email me or ask them to ask me a question. Take care, everyone!
