Popular Fish Maw Chicken Rice Noodles. Original Pot Hot Chicken Soup Rice Noodles.
In recent years, more and more rice noodle shops have been opening up. One of the reasons why rice noodles are so attractive is the soup base! In addition to the common sour and spicy and numbing spicy flavors, there are also relatively healthy medicinal soup bases. This time, let's try one of the rice noodle shops known for its nourishing ingredients and chicken soup.
✨ Infatuated Chicken
'Infatuated Chicken' specializes in nourishing and rich fish maw chicken thick soup rice noodles. The restaurant selects tender, fat-rich, and flavorful Sanhuang chicken, which is then marinated in a secret Empress chicken marinade, making the chicken even smoother and more flavorful, without any roughness. The soup base is made with more than 20 pounds of chicken, pork bones, and shark cartilage, simmered over high heat for three and a half hours, resulting in a milky white soup that is fresh, sweet, and fragrant.
🥢 Signature Infatuated Fish Maw Chicken Thick Soup Rice Noodles | $68
I love eating 'hot pot rice noodles'! With a small stove to keep it warm, it stays hot and tasty until the end. When served, the thick soup and rice noodles are separate, allowing you to heat the rice noodles to your preferred softness or firmness. The light milky white soup base made from chicken, pork bones, and shark cartilage has a strong chicken flavor without being greasy. The chicken pieces are made from Sanhuang chicken, which is quite tender, and there are 4-5 pieces of fish maw, offering a smooth and bouncy texture.
🥢 Medicinal Yellow Wine Chicken Soup Rice Noodles | $68
Tender chicken pieces paired with rich and sweet yellow wine, the soup base is aromatic, and with the addition of red dates, Angelica, Szechuan lovage, wood ear mushrooms, and other nourishing medicinal ingredients, it is replenishing without being too dry. The chicken pieces become more flavorful as they cook, and the sweet wine flavor matches well with the chicken! There are also 4-5 pieces of fish maw, very generous in portion.
🥢 Spicy Pig's Ear | $38
Made to order! It's still warm when served, not pre-made and stored in the fridge, which is commendable! The thinly sliced pig's ear has a crisp and bouncy texture, and with the secret spicy sauce, it's very appetizing.
🥢 White Peach Cold Brew Tea | Add-on with meal $12
It has a light and elegant fragrance, not too sweet, and the tea flavor is rich, quite a good drink!
🥢 Iced Lemon Tea | Add-on with meal $6

Taiwan's First Railway Tunnel, the Liu Mingchuan Tunnel
Location: No. 129, Chongde Road, Anle District, Keelung City
Introduction: The Liu Mingchuan Tunnel is a city-designated historic site, also known as the Shiqiuling Tunnel. During the eleventh year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign, Liu Mingchuan, the Governor of Taiwan, actively developed Taiwan, promoted the Westernization Movement, and advocated for the establishment of railways.
In the thirteenth year of Guangxu, he was granted permission to establish the 'General Bureau of Railways and Commerce of Taiwan'. The first section from Keelung through Taipei to Hsinchu was constructed, among which the tunnel project at Shiqiuling in Keelung was the most challenging. Work began in the spring of the fourteenth year of Guangxu and was not completed until the summer of the sixteenth year, taking a total of thirty months to break through; the Shiqiuling Tunnel is approximately 235 meters long, the first railway-exclusive tunnel in Taiwan, and the only railway tunnel from the Qing Dynasty period.
Tickets: Free
Experience: Taiwan's first railway tunnel holds significant historical value and meaning. In an era when technology was not advanced, the ability to carve such a tunnel can truly be described as conquering nature. It is well worth a visit.

The Famous Landmark of Miaoli, Longteng Broken Bridge
Location: On Miaoli County Highway 49 in Sanyi Township, Miaoli County
Introduction: Longteng, formerly known as 'Fish Vine Flat', is named after a legend where the early settlers were troubled by a carp spirit in the Carp Pond. To subdue the mischievous carp spirit, the settlers planted fish vine throughout the Longteng mountain area. At the same time, they named the high mountain to the east 'Guandao Mountain', with the intention of using Guandao Mountain to cut the fish vine and poison the carp spirit. Eventually, the fish monster ceased to harm the people, and the residents lived and worked in peace and contentment. After World War II, when villages were established in Taiwan, the villagers thought the name 'Fish Vine' was inelegant and renamed it Longteng.
On the morning of April 21, 1935, a major earthquake struck central Taiwan, with the epicenter near Guandao Mountain. The Sanyi area was severely affected, and the majestic Longxi Bridge on the mountain railway line was completely destroyed. After the earthquake, a new bridge was built to the west of the original bridge, leaving behind the arched pillars standing in the sun and wind, as a memorial for future generations. When passing through Sanyi by train, the sight of the Longteng Broken Bridge remnants is striking and leaves a deep impression.
Tickets: Free
Opening Hours: All day
Experience: The Longteng Broken Bridge is certainly one of the very famous attractions. It has taken its current form due to the impact of Taiwan's largest earthquake, the 921 earthquake, which is a stark reminder of the terrifying power of nature. Next to it is the second-generation Longteng railway bridge, allowing visitors to appreciate both the first and second-generation bridges at the same time.

Hong Kong Hotspots | West Kowloon Cultural District | Embracing the Moment of Bubbles Day and Night.
On the second afternoon of the Easter holiday, we went to the West Kowloon Cultural District.
The giant art installation 'Embracing the Moment of Bubbles' on the eastern side of the West Kowloon Cultural District's waterfront lawn is one of the recent hotspots for photo opportunities.
'Embracing the Moment of Bubbles' is one of the activities of the West Kowloon FUN Art Festival.
The giant 'bubbles' reach up to 9 meters high and are on display at the West Kowloon waterfront from now until April 7th.
'Embracing the Moment of Bubbles' was created by the Australian Sydney art team Atelier Sisu and has been exhibited in cities such as Sydney, London, Singapore, and Brussels before, with Hong Kong being the 44th city to host the exhibition.
The 'bubbles' are made of glass filter materials, which show blue and purple colors under the sunlight at different angles during the day.
In addition to the three giant 'bubbles', there are also more than fifty 'small bubbles'.
We also encountered the 'Duckling' promoting 'Art in Hong Kong'.
We went to West Kowloon again on the evening of Ching Ming Festival, and 'Embracing the Moment of Bubbles' offers different visual effects during the day and night, making it worth visiting more than once.
The illuminated giant 'bubbles' are too beautiful.
'Night Fun West Kowloon' was an unexpected gain.
Hong Kong Space Museum presents the new 3D dome film 'Polar Extremes 3D'.
Starting from April 1st (Monday), the Hong Kong Space Museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre will be screening the new 3D dome film 'Polar Extremes 3D', taking audiences on an exploration of Antarctica.
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest place on Earth. 'Polar Extremes 3D' will lead audiences deep into the Antarctic animal world, starting with a dive beneath the ice into a vibrant underwater world, then returning to the surface to join a large penguin colony, and finally enjoying what may be the most whales ever seen on screen. Whales play a key role in mitigating climate change, and the film not only provides a visual spectacle for viewers but also helps them understand the impact of human overhunting of whales on climate change. With global temperatures rising, the film prompts humans to reflect and take action to protect the Antarctic ecosystem, to prevent climate change from disrupting its balance and further affecting the whole world.
The program is 24 minutes long and will be shown until January 13, 2025. Screening times are 2:00 PM and 6:30 PM on weekdays; and 12:30 PM and 5:00 PM on weekends and public holidays.

The only century-old water distribution reservoir remaining in Hong Kong.
Address: Bishop Hill, Shek Kip Mei
Average cost per person: Free
Itinerary: Reservation for guided tours can be made on the Water Supplies Department website
Recommended reason: Grade I historic building
Before 2021, the Sham Shui Po water distribution reservoir was confirmed as a Grade I historic building, and it is now open to the public on a limited basis. During the initial opening period, reservations were often full, and I finally managed to book a spot recently. The guided tours are government-funded and free of charge, with groups of about thirty to forty people led by several guides. Visitors climb over three hundred stone steps to reach the reservoir, which has a history of over a hundred years. The entire building was constructed before the war, featuring a grand Roman-style architecture with over a hundred granite columns, presenting a magnificent scene. The guides provide a very detailed explanation of the history, and the whole tour lasts about an hour. At the end, there is even a small gift given away, making it a very worthwhile visit.

Caught by these beautiful cakes and pastries
At the Basement of AIRSIDE, the huge mall in Kowloon, directly connected to Kaitak MTR station, definitely was attracted by rays of all these unbelievable amazingly colourful man made cakes and pastries.
They are not only good to look at, it tastes good too. As they are mainly popular and renown shops. It’s quite a strong competition and hard to choose one but several instead. One might find a seat in one of these shops with a good cup of coffee to go with.
Bon appétit 😋
