Hello! I'm The Anonymous Food Tripper! I'm a foodie from the wonderful Republic of the Philippines! Come and visit us! We have the best beaches in the world!

My trip is scouring obscure places and discovering great places to eat! I like finding hole in the wall places which only locals know about and discovering what their specialties are. Sometimes the food isn't really a big deal for me but nevertheless, I like trying 'em out anyway. It's the thrill of discovery and lining up and catching a glimpse of the local culture that turns me on!

I'm new at this blog thing so bear with me for awhile! I'm still experimenting. But eventually I'll get this thing and hopefully come up with something nice :)

Ok let me first post this picture of a resto in Taiwan that I saw in the Shing Lin area (or is it JinBiao, I forget) . Their specialty is a big siopao thats is so juicy inside. Its like a giant shao lung pao! Ang sarap!

I can't actually remember how to pronounce the name. So a description should suffice for now.

While I was walking down the street I saw a long line of locals! So pumila din ako! It took me about ten minutes to get to buy one but I enjoyed the line. I observed what people ordered and how they ordered it.
Usually, I spend my time in the que looking for somebody who can speak English so I cn interview them about what is good to order and do a little pr. After they tell me about the place I'm queing up for (I ask when it was established, what do people order there, what are they known for etc). Then I try to ask them waht else is popular to the natives, so I can visit it next!!

They often ask me where I'm from and I tell them enthusiastically. I'm from the Philippines! You should try to go there, we have the best beaches in the world. (might as well do some Public Relations for the country diba).

That's me in the picture on top!!!!

Here is their calling card in case you want to taste it for yourself. You can also call them if you happen to speak mandarin. I have no idea who the lady is in the picture. Might be the owner, inventor or some cheap model. hehe
