Hello guys~ long time no blogging~ it has been so long since I've blogged, and now time has past and I'm now in Taiwan. Sadly, I've neglected my hobby of blogging, even though I feel like blogging was my passion, I like to write you know~ haha.
Anyways, I'm going to really start blogging even more, now my entry will be more about my daily activities in Taiwan, especially in Taichung (since I live here now) will probably post more about Taiwan's food, culture, and language!~
I will start writing diligently!! Promise! Oh, and I will share about my experience in general too~ how and why did I come to Taiwan to study Chinese Language and how was it traveling alone to study here. What APP to use here and what APP to use to learn Traditional Chinese.
And now, stop with the blabbering and start with the menu!
First word we'll learn is...
咖哩飯 Kālí fàn Curry Rice
so the translation for this is basically a loan word from the word "Curry", Kali fan Curry-Rice. Direct translation, so nothing to be confused about~
So today for my dinner I ate a bowl of Curry Rice, the store is near my University. it cost me 90 NTD for one, and I think it's pretty cheap. Here's a picture of it~
日式炸雞咖哩飯
Rì shì zhá jī gālí fàn
Japanese Style Fried Chicken (Karaage) Curry Rice
Yes, it cost only 90 NTD, converted to IDR it's around 45.000 IDR so I think it's pretty cheap. For me I can eat a bowl and feel full for about 6 hours hahaha, I think I have small appetite, but I can eat a lot when eating buffet! Amazing isn't it?
So this curry is basically a Karaage Curry, and I think this restaurant is not Halal, so if you're Muslim, I don't recommend you to eat here, because they have some Pork in their menu.
Usually inside the curry they will have some fried Yam, but I notice in every time I buy here their side dish always change, this time I got Mushroom, Peas, and some Basil.
giving you another shot of this for size comparison hahaha~
The restaurant name is 狸之屋日式食堂 Lí zhī wū rì shì shítáng Tanuki (Japanese raccoon) House, and for their address, I'm linking you their facebook link so you can try and see~
