This is a little bit late, but a couple of weeks ago we went out with some friends here to get Taiwanese food. As you know, Will is from Taiwan and we have been trying to learn as much as we can about Taiwan. And of course one of our favorite ways to learn about a new culture is to try the food. Well, it did not disappoint. It was so yummy- our friend Grace is an expert orderer and she ordered all these great dishes. It was fun to be with friends and celebrate that Will will (oh dear is that going to be a problem..Will will?) "soon" be here!
Actually, by far the best part of the dinner was the dessert- who knew! In my experience most Asian cuisines while very tasty usually strike out on dessert (hello? try chocolate!) but these Taiwanese desserts were fabulous...and rather large. On the right are two smoothies but they are like a really fine smooth ice cream- peanut (Den's favorite) and mango- double yum!. And the big tall dessert is actually green and red bean over shaved ice. This one wasn't as good as the others (to me vegetables should stay as far away from dessert as possible) but it was quite impressive. 
It was so good in fact that we ordered another peanut smoothie- above Den begging for more. :) We can't wait until we get to go to Taiwan and it there with Will beside us.
