But if you really think about it, if you keep feeding them won't they keep comin' back for more? </div><div><br /></div><div>So this is the reason why Koggy has A LOT more snacks than usual ... because all of 'em are on sale! </div><div><br /><table style="text-align: left;width: auto; "><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/eVXw9biRTBmrCbT5lIk965PuZv8dFkBna3fNBhsyEgc?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_NMjn28Bc794/TGgUktRh2AI/AAAAAAAAAe8/EHVzwdND1uY/s400/IMG_5132.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td face="arial,sans-serif" size="11px" style=" text-align:right;"><br /><div><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table>Happy munching!<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(142, 142, 142); line-height: 18px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:small;">*'o'* & ^'(00)'^</span></div><br /><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fhello-koggy.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-ghost-month.html&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>koggy = koala + piggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12261897997264458256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579143081807443563.post-30713026426596711112010-08-11T20:37:00.007+08:002010-08-16T00:17:02.490+08:00Yu's Almond TofuThe weather in Taipei earlier in the week has been a combination of hot, comfortable-hot, and extremely-hot with some chance of precipitation (usually less than 50%). So, Koggy's been sweating and craving for something cold! Then 1 day, we found this place called "Yu's Almond Tofu".<div><br /></div><div>When we got there Piggy was overly excited just because she's a big fan of almond flavored desserts, and it's been hard to find almond flavored stuff here in Taipei. Most of the tea shops don't have almond milk tea or any other almond flavored drinks. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, now please welcome 1 of the best dessert ever:<br /><br /><table style="text-align: center;width: auto; "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YaEV-Ii_uZQmjNKfFMSGFBVnVev4nqHdMsNKIcjmGSk?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_NMjn28Bc794/TGKYxEi_MZI/AAAAAAAAAeg/zuj30gLUv4c/s400/IMAG0166.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: center;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; "></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It is a BIG bowl of shaved (frozen) almond tofu with toppings underneath. We had 4 (+1) toppings underneath our mountains of frozen goodness, they are: azuki bean, mung bean, sweet potato QQ ball, lychee ball (thats what they claimed but we were pretty sure it had some kind of peanut inside. It was good nevertheless. So no complain here), and a free extra topping of jelly noodle.
