Click

The movie ''Click'' is really a good movie which I’d like to share with you guys.




The movie is talking about an architect who would like to be successful always.

The leading role’s name is Michael Newman.
He’s a harried workaholic and doesn’t have time for his beautiful wife and two children.
He puts all his efforts on pleasing his ungrateful boss and earns a well-deserved promotion.
He thinks that if he can get success on his job, his family will live a happy life.
One day ,he went to an electric appliance store to find an appliance which can control everything. He met Morty , a loopy sales clerk, he gave him a super remote control which can promise to control and change everything in daily life.
 Morty isn’t kidding.
Michael became the leader of his family again by the magical remote.
Also this allowed him to bypass life’s little distractions with increasingly hysterical results.
Michael loves the magical remote.

Nevertheless, he didn’t know that gradually the remote took over his life and began to program him.

 At last, Michael was afraid of the magical power but he didn’t have any idea to deal with the problem only if he could cherish what he owned and learn to be grateful……


After seeing this movie , I think this is  a chance for us to reflect on ourselves.

Though that with the magical remote in the beginning, we'll feel lucky and wonderful becuse we can just click this and skip what we don't like in our lives.
But, no one wonder that the remote control let time fleets so fast to old ages
and even loses whole life.

I like the lines in this movie''Little man's always chasing the pot of gold, but when he gets there,
at the end of the day, this is just corn flakes .''

People always wish that one day they could hit the jackpot , whereas we should stop to think more .

The process of pursuing our dream is more important than anything else  because meanwhile what you get is more precious.

Taichung Zhong-Xiao night market

Many people have heard Fong Jia night market. This is the most famous one in Taichung.

While there are still many famous night markets which are popular among the locals,
now I’d like to introduce Taichung Zhong-Xiao night market to you.

First , the thin noodles is a good choice for you to have for dinner. The flavors of thin noodles are oyster, meat stew, squid mouth and mixed.

Take the oyster flavor for example. You can see in the picture that the oysters are big and so many in one bowl of thin noodles. The soup and the thin noodles go with the special Satay Sauce which’s made by the shop. This is a perfect match to each other.





   
Then if you feel thirsty, you can have one cup of sugar cane lemon. When you’re full, sugar cane lemon can get rid of your feeling of full. You will feel better after you have this.

By the way, another flavor you can try is sugar cane milk.
This is the most delicious drink I’ve tried.
You wouldn’t spend much money on buying this because  per cup is 35 dollars.



The stand is very easy to find which’s just in front of the thin noodles shop.

If you want to have some desserts after having a meal, you can try this papaya milk and toast. Per papaya milk is 40 dollars. This is not enough. Sincerely, I suggest the mixed flavor( strawberry and butter) roast toast. The shop is near the entrance of Zhong-Xiao night market. When you come here, you can’t miss the opportunity to try this one. I bet many of you will fall in love with the papaya milk and toast.





How to go to Zhong-Xiao night market?

Zhong-Xiao night market is in the South area.
Here’s the map.






You can follow the routes to have a delicacy tourism.

Being a chocoholic

Recently, there's one thing which really drives me crazy.

You may guess. What is the answer?

The answer comes up.
The culprit is the chocolate.
Chocolate is the thing which has me gain many weights and afraid of closing to the body weight scale.

Why the chocolate is so charming?
 How is this black thing inducing me?

Stories begin with the famous chocolate and tiramisu shop showing up in Taichung.
Originally, the shop which's called Tiramisu was no any branch store in Taichung.

Luckily, we now have chance to eat the chocolate in Taichung.
We don't need to get the "little black thing'' through online buying.

First, suggesting the tiramisu is the basic and later I will also suggest the chocolate which's my point.

Here's the tiramisu:


                  









What's speciality in this tiramisu?

1.We can see there's many cocoa powder sprinkled on the cake.

2.The chocolate cake is really soft ,smooth and can melt in your mouth instantly.

3.The cake tastes not too sweet and a little bitter.

4. The mousse inside the cake has a strong milk flavor, but won't let us afraid of.

5.The cake won't cost us too much money.

Sounds great when we enjoy such a big chocolate cake like the picture, we only have to pay NT$220.

If you don't want to eat too much, you can also buy a slice of tiramisu.

"Tiramisu " in Italian means take me away.
How couldn't we be taken away?
This is a joke which I pursuade myself when I want to buy this again and again.

In the following, the Brownie shows up!

Brownie is one kind of chocolate.

In this shop, brownies are made into round shape which look very cute and more delicious.










There are five in one box.
Again, it won't taste so sweety but a little bit bitter.
One brownie is NT$10.

This is my favorite one.
Once you taste this little cutie, I bet you will addict to this just like me.

We will be chocoholic soon even though you just try one.

What's important?
Where can we buy this?

I will tell you that the shop is near the Art Museum.
Then, the last step where can we find the shop is to find a place
where is very crowded and just follow the people.

Want to find some information,please visit the website:
http://www.tiramisu.com.tw/

Now I want to hurry up to have brownies, so see you next time!

A famous breakfast in Taichung

Have you ever tried the most famous roast-meat toast in Taichung?
If you haven't, please pay attention and listen to me now.

There's a shop which is famous for roast-meat toast.
The name of the shop is exactly called " Meat and Egg Toast. "
The breakfast of the shop is what I have eaten for a long time since I was in junior high school.
Because the shop is just in front of my junior high school, for me this is really close to eat.

Now, I will just start to introduce this breakfast shop with the pictures.

First, look at the pictures below:





















How do you feel after looking at these pictures?
Feel hungry? Right?
These are their most famous breakfast.
First, the toast is not baked since the shop emphasizes that their toasts are very fresh.
There's no need to bake.

This  toast is combined with a slice of roast-meat and egg.
Also ,there's mayonnaise on the meat and  inside the toast.
Then, sprinkle some black pepper.

Umm...I have almost felt hungry.
Although this is an easy and common match which we can find in many breakfast shop,
I still want to say if you don't give a try, you wouldn't know how delicious their toast and roast-meat are.

For those people who are afraid of  that the meat will be fatty, don't be too worried.
The meat is very fresh and not too fatty.
Plus,you wouldn't feel greasy when you eat this.

You can choose whether you want to add eggs inside the toast or not.
By the way, one roast-meat egg toast is NT$ 35.

If you want to change different flavor of toast, there are also many choices.

Please take a visit at the website below:
There's the menu inside.
http://www.wretch.cc/blog/QQmelon/5240582

Let me just briefly name few kinds of  breakfast in this shop.
Of course, toasts with jam is the basic one.(peanut and strawberry)
Then, tuna toast is also a best choice.

Especially, the salad toast in this shop is also popular among customers.
See the picture:


The salad is made of potatoes, carrots and ham.
Look! The salad in the picture is very rich.

The price of the salad toast is also NT$35.

Whatever if you don't want to eat toasts, there's still something you can order.
Like the Chinese bacon omelet, or the corn omelet etc..
They also taste delicious.

Wanna get some drinks?

How about a cup of milk tea or a soy bean milk?
If you take a sip of the milk tea, you will feel the fragrance of the tea.
In addition, the soy bean milk won't be too sweet.
The sweetness is medium.


Okay~~Are you ready to go to the shop?



What are you waiting for?
See!  There have already been many people standing in the line.

Want to come immediately?
Let me tell you the address.

The shop is on the No. 1005 of Chien Hsin Road which's near the SOGO department store ,
the botanical garden and  besides the Splendor Hotel Taichung.


But remember one thing, the shop is closed on Monday.
 For Tuesday to Friday, the shop opens at 4:30 am to 12:00 pm.
For holidays, they close at 12:30 pm.

Pay attention to the time, the shop is always crowded!

Next time, when you go for a walk or exercise in the botanical garden, the shop will be a good choice for breakfast.

Shallow Hal

Today I saw a movie called " Shallow Hal." The movie was so interesting and meaningful.
The movie was not only about love. This also taught me something.
  
   The movie was talking about a man called  Hal. He fell in love with a 300 pound  woman called Rosemary .
Hal was a man who was always shallow . He only cared about women's appearance until he met Tony Robbins.
Tony Robbins hypnotized him into recognizing the inner beauty of women only. Thereafter, Hal had changed.
He met Rosemary. Actually, Rosemary was an  obese woman. But in Hal's eyes, he saw Rosemary's kindness, humor etc..
For Hal, she was a beauty. Whereas, Hal's friend helped him to break the spell. Hal turned back to Shallow Hal again.
In this way, their love would't keep going.

  Of course, in the process of meeting Rosemary, there were many interesing and funny things to talk.
These things had me burst into laughters.Instead, what I want to put emphasis on are the messages on the back.
To my impression, in this
movie , there was one conversation between  Hal and his friend
after everything had returned to the original. 
 In the dialogue,Hal asked his friend " who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the world? "
  His friend said " Wonder Woman."
  Hal said "Okay... let's say everyone else in the world thought Wonder Woman was ugly. "
  His friend said "  Never mind. Because I know they'd be wrong. "
  Hal: See! That's what I had with Rosemary! I saw a knock out, I don't care what anybody else saw!
  His friend: You're right. I guess I really did screw you over then!
  For me, although this is a simple dialogue, 


I have a deep thinking.
First of all, despite that the people all over the world think in the same way, you " the individual " don't need to meet others' need.
Like in this conversation, you don't need to think too much just because you like . The reason "I like " is enough.
Second, inner beauty is the true beauty.
Sometimes, people get stuck into the trap which means that judging a person by his or her appearance.
This is the common mistake which human beings always have. 




  Beautiful or kind-hearted? Which one will you guys choose?
If I were asked, my answer  would be "kind-hearted."
  When I forgot and started to judge a book by its appearance,
I would tell myself "Never forget this movie."
