On Sunday P randomly said he wanted chinese herbal soup so we decided to go to Boxhill to buy ingredients 'cause the asian shops at the city don't have the stuff we want (they're really crap with such limited selection of asian vegetables!) So we trained there from the city - took like 30mins! Got there and the the shop we were looking for had closed for the day already! Boo =(

We walked around and bought some asian vegetables and decided to meet T and her boyfriend, R,  there for dinner. They suggested going to The Booth since R's Taiwanese and he said this place had quite genuine Taiwanese food.

P ordered the beef noodles - he never wants to try anything new!

Beef noodles

But he didn't like it very much because it came with beef brisket (he doesn't like it =P) and he said the noodles were not that special even though R said they were a Taiwanese specialty!

I wasn't very hungry so I ordered 2 entrees.

Special fried drumlets

I actually was craving KFC the day before so I was dying for some fried chicken! This was very yummy and very greasy =P The drumlets were butterflied and deep fried it in some special seasoning - delicious!

The Pork Belly Bun was famous as I could see from the magazine articles stuck on the wall =P

Pork Belly Bun

This was very interesting! The bun was like a mantou and the pork belly was so soft and tasty with peanut shavings and coriander. I normally don't like anything with coriander in it but this was so delicious I didn't mind the coriander! I've been to Taiwan before and had street food but I don't remember having anything like this. Definitely worth going back for =)

All this was only for $20 - I was happy and my wallet was happy =)
