We had a full day to spare today before our return flight. TTG went for a Thai massage, highly recommended by Eliza. Alber and I drove to town to jalan-jalan. Not much of a shopping scene there. We met Fiona after our hotel check-out, and she brought us to a Chinese dessert shop for tong-shui. The barley beancurd skin was nice and thick, and an assortment of other desserts. The cake was disappointing though, I think they should just stick to their strengths in traditional tong-shui
Next we picked up Ting Kwang from the church, and he drove us a long way to a recently discovered Taiwanese restaurant famous for braised pork trotters. The owner was a fiesty, fierce lady, who refused to let us order more food lest we could not finish! When Alber asked if she sold beer since there was an alcohol license, she retorted that she did not feel like selling alcohol! Whoa....
The braised trotter was really good though. Worth the wait and scolding. Haha. It was done so soft and succulent, the meat tore off from the bone upon the touch. The cartilage around the bone joint was the loveliest. Oh, I could imagine Ah-Chua and Adam loving that stuff.
