Pig's feet.

Does this look familiar to you?
Besides the Taiwanese sausage haaa!
It's SIDEKICKS!!!
My parents brought some from Canada and I must say.. I miss that food!
Even though I was too lazy to make it in Calgary... ahahaha


Today, my family (aka aunt, uncle +2 cousins) decided to drive to Pingtung for lunch.
You know, it only took us an hour and a half to drive to this other city.
Since it is more south than Tainan, it was also a LOT hotter.
Tainan is already so hot and humid but Pingtung was EVEN HOTTER.
(... cuz it's closer to the equator - ooh look at that! I know my geography!!! >0<)

So......... WHY THIS RANDOM TRIP?!

It was all for that city's pig's feet.
It is very well known.. and for good reason.
It was DELICIOUS - the skin was so Q! I don't know if there's an English word for Q.
Kind of like a good kind of chewy.
Here's some in a bucket ready to be cooked.

$400NT aka ~$13.33 CAD

Guess what this vegetable is?
PUMPKIN - were you right?
By the way, my friends.
I haven't been using sunblock or wearing long sleeves so...
my worst fear has come true.. I HAVE GOTTEN SO DARK.
as in tanned.
Just an fyi - and it's only going to get hotter in the next month.
It's already 25+ almost everyday...
It's very different than our Calgary 'hot' because the air is thick and humid.
But it's hot weather nonetheless!!!

How's the snow?
MUAHAHA!

I'm ending my post today with this picture.

Why?

You tell me.

Correct answer gets a prize!!
(just kidding)
