Hi 瓶子,

I like bitter melon a lot. Mother used to make bitter melon soup. She stuffed bitter melon with seasoned pork mince and used it to make soup. That's one of my favourite way to cook bitter melon. I also like bitter melon salad. It was surprisingly sweet although it had a hint of bitterness.

Taste bud is changing. This happened to me too. I didn't like sashimi (raw fish and seafood) before I was 24. Now I love it.

How many places did you go during New Year holiday?

肉圓 is another thing I miss a lot. We can get frozen ones in T-mart (a Taiwanese supermarket), but it doesn't taste good at all.

Bitter melon is also a hard-to-find vegetable here. Chinese farmers do grow bitter melon, but it's the kind with green colour, not the white we normal have in Taiwan.  Well, looks like I have to visit Taiwan soon. My mouth is watering. Will try to go to Taiwan in really July. Need to lose a few Kg before visiting Taiwan.

Cheers

Barry

這是なな從小吃到大的肉圓店，真的很不賴
想來大甲美食也不少哩，芋圓、肉圓、奶油酥餅、粉腸...
哇~~ 又餓了~~
