I like the taste of charred bread.
By Pinjing in UncategorizedOne breakfast I enjoyed when I first came back to Taichung.

A Tale of Two Candies: Late Night Candy Snack Attack
By Pinjing in Midnight SnackI bought Wonka Tinglerz while at an aiport kiosk en route to Taiwan. I was originally just going to buy water, but grabbed these thinking that they might taste like pop rocks + chocolate. I was wrong.
