Roaming and Finding the Best Food and Restaurant in Central Taitung Taiwan

I'm getting a good vibes after watching a singing contest in a television program...hehehe, so I decided to wrote this blog post. maybe I got inspired though it's not related with this program.

When travelling I'm sure travelers are not only looking for beautiful places or scenic spots, they also look for the best food, delicacies which the country or town may offers.

My past post is all about the cause of my travelling Taitung Taiwan but this time I want to share some yummy and mouth watering foods around Taitung.

This are just the food and restaurants that can be found around Central of Taitung.

My Top No. 1 choice is  the SPICY BEEF NOODLES, why?

This may look ordinary but as they say don't judge the book by it's cover. I just randomly bought this because it's my first time landing in this place and I don't know where is the best restaurant to buy an extraordinary taste but luckily this Spicy Beef Noodles make me want to go back to Taitung just for this. Yeah, right.....look at it, nothing special but when the moment you take a bite the noodles.. oh my...I can feel my taste bud are getting alive. The noodles are just so soft and chewy. Honestly I'm not a fan of eating noodles. But whoah,, I'm so excited while eating this. Well beef noodles are very known in Taiwan but I will give a 5 stars recommendation for the beef noodles in Taitung. Sad to say I didn't get the chance to get the noodle house name but I'm pretty sure you can get one.

My. Top No. 2 choice is St. Mary's Health Club Cafe and Restaurant.

Yeah, from it's restaurant name itself it's all about healthy and organic food. It's my first time to enter a restaurant which only offer a lot of vegetable dishes. This must be special especially for those who cares about their own health. From soup veggies to fruit and vegetable salad to vegetable dishes,,..this are all about vegetables. The thing that I cannot forget here is the healthiest tea that I tasted. The aroma of the mixed lemon grass and plant herbs are amazing. This restaurant is a buffet style and it was affordable healthy living style. And ca be found in No. 370, Section 2, Zhiben Rd.. Have a healthy lifestyle ^^

My Top No.3 choice was the "Sexy and Juicy" Restaurant.

The name was a little bit weird but actually from outside the restaurant you can guess what this sexy and juicy all about. This is a delicious  pig meat restaurant. I ordered their best seller and worth trying it. The top sauce is very special and yummy and it was really affordable for travelers.

Top No. 4 was hotpot/shabu shabu and lunch boxes (bientang pronounce it as pin-tang)

This is already a common around Taiwan unless otherwise it was really  special. Their lunch box is actually one of the best food because of the pelican geese, meats,chicken which deliciously cooked.

Top No. 5 are street foods located in their night market.

So if ever you go to Taitung hope you have the chance to taste really delicious food... Wish you luck travelers.....

Taitung County台東縣 / 臺東縣 for First the Time

October 12, 2015, it is the first day to set my footsteps with this unfamiliar place. Of course many things and questions are popping into my mind. Is there any special about Taitung? Is just a question in my mind. I travel to Taitung County for one big reason, learning Aroma Therapy. Even though it's not my reason to really roam around Taitung, indeed I'm still curious about this place.

ABOUT
Taitung County ( 台東縣 / 臺東縣 ) is the third largest county located in the eastern coast of Taiwan. It is also known as HOUSHAN ( 後山 ) by many locals, which means mountain. Taitung County is divided into 1 city, 2 urban townships and 13 rural townships.

Took this photo while I'm on the train..just mesmerized by the mountain formation.

Taitung is the home of most aboriginal people including Bunun, Paiwan, Rukai, Amis, Puyuma, Tao and Kavalan. I also met some Penan aboriginal people. Because Taitung possess the most aboriginal people, I think their life style is so slow, their life is more on aboriginal cultures. The high density of aboriginal population brings Taitung vivid colors of cultural resources which is an advantage to Taiwan on preserving cultures and ethnics.

Travelling to Taitung County from Hualien County by train (bullet train) is about one and half hour. And I paid two single journey tickets for NT 343 from Hualien to Yilan Station to Taitung Train Station.

Me going to Taitung county

I went there to get some training on Aroma Therapy which is very important for us who take care for the old people. Actually my employer arranged it for me and I'm so lucky to be given this kind of opportunity. Even if  I'm not familiar with the place I still have the courage to go and gain some experience which I actually enjoyed it much.

Taitung is the home of pollution free. I can say it because here is not crowded. Not so many vehicles. Feel free to express yourself along with the natural environment. Taitung is pretty good.

Next post will be my stay in Aroma House, so stay tune...
