Fullerton Hotel’s baileys mooncakes
Monday, September 21st, 2009
After hearing so much about it, I finally made went down to Fullerton Hotel this year and bought their famous baileys mooncakes. Needless to say I was looking forward to eating it.
It was a full size snowskin mooncake. Because it is quite big, the snowskin is also thicker than in mini snowskin mooncakes. Inside was chocolate lotus paste and a chocolate ball in the middle. I’m not sure whether it was because my expectations were quite high but I was a little disappointed after eating it. I can’t taste any baileys at all. I might not mind so much about not tasting the baileys if it was a cheap mooncake. But at $50+ for 4 mooncakes, I would expect to be able to taste the alcohol.
This year, my favourite snowskin mooncakes are still the mini champagne mooncakes from Raffles Hotel.

Day 3: Taipei 101
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
First thing we did after breakfast was to go to a nearby KFC and buy a box of egg tarts. There was a new flavour which was egg tart with purple sweet potato. So we bought a box containing all 3 flavours – original, with mochi and with purple sweet potato.

Day 2: Taipei Zoo
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
We skipped the hotel breakfast and bought chicken burgers from a shop on the way to the station. We waited for the owner to cook the burgers after we placed our orders. Then taking the burgers along with us, we took the train to Taipei Zoo.
