Wednesday, I was in hot and super humid Kaohsiung. I can't believe that I'm spending so comfortable night now in Hsinchu.

My friend took me to the local famous shaved ice store called 婆婆 in his neighborhood. It is said that girls used to look for the guy who runs shaved ice stores as their husbands.

What surprising was the store was established in 1934 that was far before I was born.

He ordered me some tomatoes, and told me  this was Kaohsiung local food to eat with the sweet soy sorce and ginger dip. I've never tasted like this before. Have you?
