Taichung day trip...all aboard the high speed rail

plasticmom was feeling nostalgic for her youth and the 70s so she really wanted to check out Taichung and the Feng Jia Night Market because she used to go there when she was young. So the three of us hopped on the high speed rail for a day trip adventure. We saw a few sights including Tunghai University with it's IM Pei designed Luce Chapel and the National Art Museum before we hit the Feng Jia Night Market near yet another university called...you guessed it...Feng Jia.

Fried Squid with "original" flavoring. They also had like cheese, wasabi, etc.

Adam wielding his blood cake dipped in grounded peanuts and cilantro. Looks like an ice cream bar, but do not be fooled, it's a cake made with blood and it's savory. I should note that plasticmom and I REFUSED to eat this snack so Adam was totally on his own here and he liked it. Adam gets the "adventurous eater" award for sure.

Takoyaki Octopus Balls getting their shape

Enjoying my box of Takoyaki with Bonito Flakes

plasticmom with her Berlin style ham hock...I love how you can eat everything with a skewer

Big Pig Little Pig...we didn't get this sausage in a sausage [turduken style] snack since the line was way too long

Interesting new concept: "Stir Fry Ice Cream"

I splurged for the waffle bowl for $10 Taiwan Dollars or 33 cents USD
