What do you think it looks like? A crashed spaceship? A mountain growing out of the ground? The architect, Kris Yao, wanted it to resemble the natural landscape around here - rocks that that jut diagonally out of the earth and the ocean.光是輪廓就很有趣。大家覺得這長得像什麼呢？一艘墜落的幽浮？從地底下長出來的一座山？建築師姚仁喜希望它呼應這裏的自然景觀，看似從海裡和地裡斜斜突出的石頭。The shape of the building and the big pool of water in front of it makes a really good picture. Looking at the building makes me feel like I’m hearing music. No, I’m not crazy. I love it!這棟建築的形狀，還有前面的大水池讓這裏成為一個非常適合拍照的地方。看著看著，我覺得我好像聽見音樂了。我沒有發瘋，我就是好喜歡這個地方！Kris Yao used 12 different materials for the facades. Each material represents one specific musical note. He mapped the score of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” to the facades of this building. I think it’s quite clever!

A lot of the exhibits in this museum are interactive and that’s why I love it. Of course everything is really well laid out, too.

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 20: Toucheng by Train

2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第十九集： 搭火車到頭城

Transcript 文字稿:

Today we’re going to Wushi Port in Yilan where there’s a fantastic museum, seafood and a beach that surfers love.

今天我們要到宜蘭的烏石港。這裏有間很棒的博物館，海鮮，還有一個衝浪玩家非常喜歡的海灘。

I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to try new things, play with new toys, and visit old places in a new way. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

我是米雪拉，在美國矽谷長大，回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者，喜歡嘗試新東西，玩新玩具，用新的方式體驗旅行。台灣好好玩，到底有多好玩，讓我和你分享。

To get to Wushi Port, take a train and get off at Toucheng. You can pay for your tickets by tagging on and off with an Easycard or iPass.

想要抵達烏石港，大家可以搭火車到頭城站，用悠遊卡或一卡通刷上刷下就好了。

This is Toucheng Station. Toucheng literally means “first city.” Between here and Taipei lies that, the Hsuehshan Mountain Range. This was the first city that was developed on this side of those mountains.

這裏是頭城站。「頭城」意指是「第一個城市」。這裏和台北之間隔著雪山山脈，這裏是從台北過來第一個被卡發的城鎮。

This is Wushi Port, the latest reincarnation of it, actually. The older and much smaller one is over there. Come on, I want to show you.

這裏是烏石港，最新的烏石港。舊烏石港比較小巧一點，就在那邊。

Wushi by the way means “black rock.” Those dark rocks in the middle of the old port over there is how this area got its name. And the funky looking building behind me, that’s the Lanyang Museum.

「烏石」顧名思義，是黑色石頭的意思。那幾顆從水裡面冒出來的黑石頭就是「烏石港」名字的由來。我的背後那棟長得很奇妙的建築物，就是蘭陽博物館。

The outline itself is really interesting. What do you think it looks like? A crashed spaceship? A mountain growing out of the ground? The architect, Kris Yao, wanted it to resemble the natural landscape around here - rocks that that jut diagonally out of the earth and the ocean.

光是輪廓就很有趣。大家覺得這長得像什麼呢？一艘墜落的幽浮？從地底下長出來的一座山？建築師姚仁喜希望它呼應這裏的自然景觀，看似從海裡和地裡斜斜突出的石頭。

The shape of the building and the big pool of water in front of it makes a really good picture. Looking at the building makes me feel like I’m hearing music. No, I’m not crazy. I love it!

這棟建築的形狀，還有前面的大水池讓這裏成為一個非常適合拍照的地方。看著看著，我覺得我好像聽見音樂了。我沒有發瘋，我就是好喜歡這個地方！

Kris Yao used 12 different materials for the facades. Each material represents one specific musical note. He mapped the score of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” to the facades of this building. I think it’s quite clever! And I love the space!

姚仁喜在牆面上用了12種不同的材質，每一個材質代表樂譜上一個音，姚仁喜將韋瓦第四季的樂章用這個方式表現在真個建築的外觀上。我覺得好聰明！而且我好喜歡這個空間喔！

The exhibits here are nicely presented too. In the main hall, you’ll learn about flora and fauna found in Yilan.

博物館裡展示品的陳列也做得很好，在主要的展示區可以認識宜蘭的動植物。

This is the scaly anteater. It has special meaning to me because my university’s mascot is the anteater! Zot zot.

這是只穿山甲，對我來說有特別的意義。我大學的吉祥物就是穿山甲。

There are displays on nature, culture, everyday life and lots of other things, like the farming and fishing industries.

這裏的展示範圍還涵蓋了自然，文化，日常生活，以及農漁業等議題。

This is a real fishing boat! A lot of the exhibits in this museum are interactive and that’s why I love it. Of course everything is really well laid out, too. There’s so much to learn if you slow down, look and think about what you’re looking at. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough time in one day, so I have to come back!

這是一艘真的漁船喔！這裏很多展示品都是互動式，我很喜歡這部份，我覺得整個規劃都很棒。如果慢下腳步去思考你正在看的東西，你會有很多很多收穫，也會發現花一天的時間都不夠，以後還要再來！

Where can you eat if you’re hungry? There’s a seafood market here.

肚子餓的話可以去哪裡吃飯呢？這裏有海鮮市場喔～

There’s fresh and processed seafood here. If you want, you can buy it fresh down here and go upstairs to the restaurant area and have it cooked for you. Of course if you would rather not personally give something, that’s still breathing, the death sentence, have the restaurant take care of everything - just go upstairs and order there, or to any of the other restaurants in the area.

這邊有生鮮也有加工過的海產。大家可以在一樓挑想吃的東西，然後請二樓幫忙代工。如果不想要有一種給魚兒們判死刑的感覺的話，就直接上二樓或附近餐廳，讓他們幫你解決。

This is tuna floss with chunks of tuna in it. It’s good for diabetics or for people who don't like sweet foods. No sugar added in here. Mm. I like!

這是鮪魚鬆。對糖尿病患和不喜歡甜食的人來說，應該不錯，沒有加糖。嗯，我喜歡！

Japanese people fresh fish raw. The Chinese like to steam it. Tasty steamed fish have to be really, really fresh.

新鮮的魚，日本人喜歡吃生的。華人喜歡吃蒸的。好吃的蒸魚一定要非常非常新鮮。

Wushi Port is also a big surfing spot. A lot of surfers in northern Taiwan like to come here. In fact, we bumped into one of our coworkers over there. I love it how there’s so much to do around here - there’s the beach, the museum, seafood, hiking, whale watching from Spring to Fall. Everything’s within walking distance, too. You should come!

烏石港也是個衝浪的好地方。很多住北部的衝浪愛好者都喜歡來這裡，我們剛才還碰到同事，也是來衝浪。這裏有好多可以玩的地方，有海灘，博物館，海產，步道，春天到秋天還能商鯨，而且好玩的地方都走路就能到。大家要來喔！

Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記：

We’ve been by Lanyang Museum quite a few times now, and this was the first time we actually got to go inside. It is a wonderful museum! The space is really beautiful (but if you want to enjoy it in peace, go right when they open). I really liked the displays and how they are from floor to ceiling, covering many different levels and aspects of life in Yilan, but they’re really easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking at and if no one is there to tell you the stories. There are audio and guided tours in English and Mandarin, I highly recommend them.

我們曾經經過蘭陽博物館好幾次，這是我們第一次進到裡面去，我覺得這地方好棒喔！我好喜歡它的空間，不過如果想要平靜的欣賞和享受，最好一開館就去。我很喜歡裡面從地板到天花板的展示，描述宜蘭的生活，生態，和文化，不過這些東西沒有人解說，很容易就錯過，所以我建議利用語音導覽，或者報名人員導覽，才會錯過精彩的故事。

The seafood market is kind of fun to walk through. There are two stands that sell fresh seafood, all the other ones sell processed seafood and most allow you to taste before you buy, which is fun and nice. There are several restaurants upstairs that sell and cook fresh seafood, but the one we went to is diagonally across the street from the seafood market building. The name of the place is 章魚哥 Mr Octopus (or brother octopus) and I liked how it seemed cleaner than the restaurants in the market. The food there is quite good!

海鮮市場蠻好玩的，生鮮的有兩攤，其他都是加工食品，大部分都可以讓你試吃再買。樓上有好幾家海鮮餐廳，不過我們拍攝的那家在市場斜對面，叫做章魚哥，菜好吃，感覺也蠻乾淨的。

If the weather’s nice, you can take a walk on the beach. If you’re a surfer, you might really like it there. If you’re here during the right season, you can even go out to Turtle Island or go whale watching. Toucheng is a tiny town, but Wushi Port has a pretty big place in my heart.

天氣好的話可以到海邊走走，你如果會衝浪的話，搞不好會很喜歡。對的季節來，還可以去龜山島，去賞鯨。頭城是個小小的地方，不過我真的蠻喜歡這裏的。

I'll have a slideshow with more commentary coming soon!

之後會有幻燈片和一些幕後花絮，敬請期待～

You should come!

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 11: Cycling Yilan (deluxe edit 完整版)2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第十一集： 鐵馬宜蘭遊Transcript 文字稿:This is Dongshan River in Yilan and I want to show you what you can do around here on a bicycle.這裡是宜蘭的冬山河。今天我要秀大家，來這邊騎車，可以怎麼玩。I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to row, cycle, and travel. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.我是米雪拉，在美國矽谷長大，回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者，喜歡划船，騎鐵馬，還有旅行。台灣好好玩，到底有多好玩，讓我和你分享。Today we’re going to start at Dongshan Train Station, cycle along Dongshan River to Dongshan Water Park, then take a boat to the Center for Traditional Arts where you can get a glimpse of what life and culture in Taiwan was like in the last century.今天我們要從火車站出發，沿著冬山河騎到冬山親水公園，然後再搭船到傳統藝術中心，看看上個世紀台灣生活和文化的縮影。But first we need a bike. You can rent one right outside the station.首先，我們租台腳踏車，車站外面就有租賃站。There are bike paths on both banks of the river, and it’s a really easy ride.冬山河的自行車步道騎起來很輕鬆，兩岸都能騎。From the train station to the Dongshan River water park, it's about 3 km. It might sound counterintuitive, but I think you should slow down so you don’t miss the scenery. If you’re lucky, you’ll even get to see crews rowing up and down the river.從車站到冬山河親水公園大約3公里。建議大家特別放慢速度，因為騎太快，恐怕會錯過美景。幸運的話，還可以看到有人在練西式划船。This is where the national rowing team and local crews train. How envious that the don't have to worry about fishing boats, yachts and dredging barges like we did in southern California.國家代表隊和地方團體都在這裡練划。很羨慕他們不像我們以前在南加州練習時那樣，一天到晚擔心被漁船，遊艇，挖泥船撞。Yilan is in northeastern Taiwan, separated from the greater Taipei area by mountains. So as one story goes, a long, long time ago before the government and law enforcement made their way here, this was a pirate hangout. The other people that lived here were the Kavalans, and indigenous tribe. Dongshan River and its resources attracted early settlers. Now its bicycle paths attract travelers.宜蘭位於台灣東北邊，和大台北地區隔一座山，有一傳說曾經提到，很久以前，政府單位來到這裡之前，很多海盜會聚集在這兒。其他住在宜蘭的人，就是葛瑪蘭原住民了。曾經冬山河的資源吸引民眾來這裡居住，如今冬山河的二岸風光吸引遊客來這裡玩。The ferry ride to the Center for Traditional Arts is NT$75 and about 15 minutes long. The Center for Traditional Arts is a fun place and nostalgic for some people too. In addition to looking at traditional architecture, you can also see how craftsmen make things like calligraphy brushes, dragon beard candy, tops that spin, those kinds of things.到傳藝中心的船資是75元，15分鐘就到了。傳藝中心是個很好玩的地方，對一些人來說，也特別懷舊。除了可以看到傳統建築以外，那裡還可以觀賞師傅們做毛筆，龍鬚糖，陀螺等等玩意兒。This is a restored san he yuan, a traditional house that usually faces south. Oftentimes there's a pond in front of san he yuan's. The pond is not only decorative, but serves a function as well. When the summer wind blows from the south and the air passes over the pond before it enters the house, it gets cooled down by the moisture. Natural air conditioning!這是一間修復過的三合院，傳統的房子，通常坐北朝南。經常三合院前面會有一個池塘，不只是為了造景，其實以也有功能。夏天的風來自南方，當風吹過池塘，進到房子之前，池塘的水氣會將空氣降溫。這就是天然冷氣啦。There are rooms on three sides of the san he yuan, and in the middle is a courtyard. Behind the courtyard, right in the center is the main hall. This is where ancestors and gods are worshipped, and where important guests are received. The kitchen is on the east side, so the sunlight can shine through early in the morning when breakfast is prepared. The bathroom, which had no plumbing in the old days, is to the west, to keep the stench and germs as far away from the kitchen as possible.三合院裡，居住空間有三面，正中間是庭院。庭院的正後方是正堂，祭拜祖先，神明，還有接待重要客人的地方。廚房位於東邊，這樣清晨準備早餐的時候有陽光的照明。早期因為沒有下水道，廁所設在西邊，這樣臭味和細菌才不會太接近廚房。The head of the household lives right by the main hall, which is close to the center of the house, and this symbolizes the center of power. The sons live on the east and on the west wings. What I find especially interesting is the relationship between the sisters in law in Taiwanese is called dang sai a, which literally means east and west.主人住在正堂旁邊，靠近房子的中央，象徵權力的核心。兒子們住在三合院的東邊和西邊。我個人覺得很有趣的是，台語裡，妯娌之間的關係就叫做「東西仔」。I like the Dongshan River area. It’s fun and it brings back a lot of nice memories for me. In college I was on the rowing team, where I very like spent more time and energy, rather than on my studies. But I think I turned out OK. But anyway and coming here and riding along the river, watching the calm, glassy surface is just so peaceful and soothing. Maybe I should just picnic here next time. That would be nice. You should come!我喜歡冬山河這一帶，很好玩，而且這地方讓我想起很多回憶。大學的時候我是西划校隊，我想我花在划船的時間和精神，比讀書多很多，時光若能倒流，我仍然不會後悔。來這裡沿著河岸騎車，看那個平靜，玻璃般的水面，內心好寧靜，好療癒。下次來這裡野餐好了，感覺會很棒。大家要來喔！——————————Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記：The path along Dongshan River is beautiful. I remember seeing at least one old bridge and it was quite nice. Because you have to return the bike where you borrow it (at least that was the case when we were there), I think it’s better if you spend a day cycling around and have a picnic, or hang out at Dongshan River Park (which has pools and water slides in the summer), and budget a whole other day for National Center for Traditional Arts. You can also move the park itinerary to the second day too. The ferry ride to CTA is nice. The boat is really cool as it’s not only solar powered, the height of the roof on the boat is also adjustable, and it comes down before passing under the bridge.冬山河沿岸的腳踏車道好漂亮喔！我記得有經過至少一座很有味道的老橋。因為我們去的時候沒有甲地租乙地還的服務，我比較建議大家這個路線分兩天玩（宜蘭也很多飯店和民宿可以住喔！）。第一天或許可以在冬山河騎車，野餐，到冬山河親水公園晃晃（夏天可以玩水，冬天看來只能散步）。第二天一整天玩傳藝中心。親水公園也可以放在第二天，從親水公園到傳藝中心的船還蠻有趣的，除了電動，還是太陽能呢～ 而且船頂會升降，過橋的時候，會降下來！We rented a bike from a shop across the street from Dongshan Station. They have a good variety of bikes, including tandem, kids, electric and electric power assist bikes. I got a Giant power assist bike and Charles my partner got a Giant electric bike. Look at all the stuff we have on us! This kind of reminds me of the Indian military motorcycle acrobatics show.我們的腳踏車是在冬山車站對面的店租的，他們車種很多，包括協力車，小孩的腳踏車，電動車，電力輔助車。我租了捷安特的電力輔助車，我搭檔租的是電動車（很像摩托車）。看我們背了多少東西？讓我想到印度的軍隊摩托車雜技團。We ate at 小可愛米粉羹 a couple of times. We had the thick noodle soup and the fried tofu skewers. They were pretty good!外景的那兩天，我們都在小可愛吃米粉羹，一口心也不錯吃喔～You should come!大家要來喔！——————————Links 連結：Dongshan River Park 冬山河親水公園 http://www.goilan.com.tw/dsriver/National Center for Traditional Arts 傳統藝術中心 www.ncfta.gov.tw/小可愛米粉羹 https://www.facebook.com/pages/冬山小可愛臭豆腐米粉羹粉圓冰/137043646425573——————————Accessories 配件：Shirt: kotipesä http://www.kotipesa.comWatch: Martian摩絢錶 http://www.martianwatches.com.twShoes: RucolineGear 器材：UAV: 3DR Solo http://www.3drobotics.com

Time for Taiwan 2015-2016, Episode 11: Cycling Yilan

2015-2016年「台灣好好玩」第十一集： 鐵馬宜蘭遊

Transcript 文字稿:

This is Dongshan River in Yilan and I want to show you what you can do around here on a bicycle.

這裡是宜蘭的冬山河。今天我要秀大家，來這邊騎車，可以怎麼玩。

I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to row, cycle, and travel. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

我是米雪拉，在美國矽谷長大，回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者，喜歡划船，騎鐵馬，還有旅行。台灣好好玩，到底有多好玩，讓我和你分享。

Today we’re going to start at Dongshan Train Station, cycle along Dongshan River to Dongshan Water Park, then take a boat to the Center for Traditional Arts where you can get a glimpse of what life and culture in Taiwan was like in the last century.

今天我們要從火車站出發，沿著冬山河騎到冬山親水公園，然後再搭船到傳統藝術中心，看看上個世紀台灣生活和文化的縮影。

But first we need a bike. You can rent one right outside the station.

首先，我們租台腳踏車，車站外面就有租賃站。

There are bike paths on both banks of the river, and it’s a really easy ride.

冬山河的自行車步道騎起來很輕鬆，兩岸都能騎。

From the train station to the Dongshan River water park, it's about 3 km. It might sound counterintuitive, but I think you should slow down so you don’t miss the scenery. If you’re lucky, you’ll even get to see crews rowing up and down the river.

從車站到冬山河親水公園大約3公里。建議大家特別放慢速度，因為騎太快，恐怕會錯過美景。幸運的話，還可以看到有人在練西式划船。

This is where the national rowing team and local crews train. How envious that the don't have to worry about fishing boats, yachts and dredging barges like we did in southern California.

國家代表隊和地方團體都在這裡練划。很羨慕他們不像我們以前在南加州練習時那樣，一天到晚擔心被漁船，遊艇，挖泥船撞。

Yilan is in northeastern Taiwan, separated from the greater Taipei area by mountains. So as one story goes, a long, long time ago before the government and law enforcement made their way here, this was a pirate hangout. The other people that lived here were the Kavalans, and indigenous tribe. Dongshan River and its resources attracted early settlers. Now its bicycle paths attract travelers.

宜蘭位於台灣東北邊，和大台北地區隔一座山，有一傳說曾經提到，很久以前，政府單位來到這裡之前，很多海盜會聚集在這兒。其他住在宜蘭的人，就是葛瑪蘭原住民了。曾經冬山河的資源吸引民眾來這裡居住，如今冬山河的二岸風光吸引遊客來這裡玩。

The ferry ride to the Center for Traditional Arts is NT$75 and about 15 minutes long. The Center for Traditional Arts is a fun place and nostalgic for some people too. In addition to looking at traditional architecture, you can also see how craftsmen make things like calligraphy brushes, dragon beard candy, tops that spin, those kinds of things.

到傳藝中心的船資是75元，15分鐘就到了。傳藝中心是個很好玩的地方，對一些人來說，也特別懷舊。除了可以看到傳統建築以外，那裡還可以觀賞師傅們做毛筆，龍鬚糖，陀螺等等玩意兒。

This is a restored san he yuan, a traditional house that usually faces south. Oftentimes there's a pond in front of san he yuan's. The pond is not only decorative, but serves a function as well. When the summer wind blows from the south and the air passes over the pond before it enters the house, it gets cooled down by the moisture. Natural air conditioning!

這是一間修復過的三合院，傳統的房子，通常坐北朝南。經常三合院前面會有一個池塘，不只是為了造景，其實以也有功能。夏天的風來自南方，當風吹過池塘，進到房子之前，池塘的水氣會將空氣降溫。這就是天然冷氣啦。

There are rooms on three sides of the san he yuan, and in the middle is a courtyard. Behind the courtyard, right in the center is the main hall. This is where ancestors and gods are worshipped, and where important guests are received. The kitchen is on the east side, so the sunlight can shine through early in the morning when breakfast is prepared. The bathroom, which had no plumbing in the old days, is to the west, to keep the stench and germs as far away from the kitchen as possible.
三合院裡，居住空間有三面，正中間是庭院。庭院的正後方是正堂，祭拜祖先，神明，還有接待重要客人的地方。廚房位於東邊，這樣清晨準備早餐的時候有陽光的照明。早期因為沒有下水道，廁所設在西邊，這樣臭味和細菌才不會太接近廚房。

The head of the household lives right by the main hall, which is close to the center of the house, and this symbolizes the center of power. The sons live on the east and on the west wings. What I find especially interesting is the relationship between the sisters in law in Taiwanese is called dang sai a, which literally means east and west.

主人住在正堂旁邊，靠近房子的中央，象徵權力的核心。兒子們住在三合院的東邊和西邊。我個人覺得很有趣的是，台語裡，妯娌之間的關係就叫做「東西仔」。

I like the Dongshan River area. It’s fun and it brings back a lot of nice memories for me. In college I was on the rowing team, where I very like spent more time and energy, rather than on my studies. But I think I turned out OK. But anyway and coming here and riding along the river, watching the calm, glassy surface is just so peaceful and soothing. Maybe I should just picnic here next time. That would be nice. You should come!

我喜歡冬山河這一帶，很好玩，而且這地方讓我想起很多回憶。大學的時候我是西划校隊，我想我花在划船的時間和精神，比讀書多很多，時光若能倒流，我仍然不會後悔。來這裡沿著河岸騎車，看那個平靜，玻璃般的水面，內心好寧靜，好療癒。下次來這裡野餐好了，感覺會很棒。大家要來喔！

Michella's notes 米雪拉的筆記：

The path along Dongshan River is beautiful. I remember seeing at least one old bridge and it was quite nice. Because you have to return the bike where you borrow it (at least that was the case when we were there), I think it’s better if you spend a day cycling around and have a picnic, or hang out at Dongshan River Park (which has pools and water slides in the summer), and budget a whole other day for National Center for Traditional Arts. You can also move the park itinerary to the second day too. The ferry ride to CTA is nice. The boat is really cool as it’s not only solar powered, the height of the roof on the boat is also adjustable, and it comes down before passing under the bridge.

冬山河沿岸的腳踏車道好漂亮喔！我記得有經過至少一座很有味道的老橋。因為我們去的時候沒有甲地租乙地還的服務，我比較建議大家這個路線分兩天玩（宜蘭也很多飯店和民宿可以住喔！）。第一天或許可以在冬山河騎車，野餐，到冬山河親水公園晃晃（夏天可以玩水，冬天看來只能散步）。第二天一整天玩傳藝中心。親水公園也可以放在第二天，從親水公園到傳藝中心的船還蠻有趣的，除了電動，還是太陽能呢～ 而且船頂會升降，過橋的時候，會降下來！

We rented a bike from a shop across the street from Dongshan Station. They have a good variety of bikes, including tandem, kids, electric and electric power assist bikes. I got a Giant power assist bike and Charles my partner got a Giant electric bike. Look at all the stuff we have on us! This kind of reminds me of the Indian military motorcycle acrobatics show.

我們的腳踏車是在冬山車站對面的店租的，他們車種很多，包括協力車，小孩的腳踏車，電動車，電力輔助車。我租了捷安特的電力輔助車，我搭檔租的是電動車（很像摩托車）。看我們背了多少東西？讓我想到印度的軍隊摩托車雜技團。

We ate at 小可愛米粉羹 a couple of times. We had the thick noodle soup and the fried tofu skewers. They were pretty good!

外景的那兩天，我們都在小可愛吃米粉羹，一口心也不錯吃喔～

You should come!

大家要來喔！
