19/10/2007: "VERY CHEAP EATS ......... No grease either"
Near the famous Lin Family Garden (an estate of historic buildings) are alley’s of eats catering for the many who visit this fascinating architectural masterpiece.
After a VIP guided tour of the private sections of Lin’s (by Mr.Vincent Lin in person, home from California) a group of us ventured into one of the budget eateries found everywhere.
The selection here is shredded chicken on rice (left) less than AUD$1.
Squid soup (right) about AUD$1.20
A friend told me his story regarding eating squid. Be sure to floss teeth afterwards. He failed to do this which resulted in tooth decay some months later when a trapped piece of tough squid meat caused decay in two teeth – one requiring expensive root canal therapy.
It’s a serious flaw of health systems world-wide to separate dental problems from physical body health. Especially when a bad tooth is the root cause (ha ha) of many an illness.
PS One Dollar Australian buys New Taiwan Dollars NT$29 (this week).
