<title>Something Different to Snack On: Hello Panda Cookies</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Practical-Travel/World-Cuisine/Something-Different-to-Snack-On-Hello-Panda-Cookies.85007</link>

<![CDATA[<p>Cookies are a delight. Who does not enjoy them at one time or other as a snack or dessert? Gourmet has always been my preference when bought, or better yet home made. One of my friends in class recently introduced me to a different kind of cookie made in Singapore by Meiji called Hello Panda. Her preference for them went along the line that it seemed no matter how many she ate, she never gained weight.</p>

<p>These cookies differ very much from other cookies. First off, they are 2 cm in size, and they have little pictures of pandas playing sports. These biscuits are made with Choco Cream inside. One serving or eight cookies are 138 calories.</p>
 
<p>They are very tasty with tea. A good place to look for them is at the Asian Food Grocer. One serving or one box should cost around 89 cents. A box like the one above goes for $4.50. It holds ten individual servings. This is perfect to pack in a child's lunch, or to pack in your own lunch.</p>
 
<p>If international cuisine is your thing, you may find these an utter delight. The Choco Cream melts in your mouth and the biscuits are light and fluffy in flavor. If you are like me, these may be the next treasure you add to your food pantry.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FPractical-Travel%2FWorld-Cuisine%2FSomething-Different-to-Snack-On-Hello-Panda-Cookies.85007"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FPractical-Travel%2FWorld-Cuisine%2FSomething-Different-to-Snack-On-Hello-Panda-Cookies.85007" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Taiwan Night Clubbing: Plush</title>

<![CDATA[<p>At first glance, 
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.taiwanfun.com/north/taipei/nightlife/0302/0302OnTheBeat-PLUSH.htm">Plush </a>
was beautiful. It had a great view, it was small, it was nice. It was a high class establishment. Well, as high class as night clubs get anyway. </p>
 
 <p>We had a table thanks to Herbie and his sweet connections. However, as people started trickling in, I noticed a lack of good looking guys in the club. In fact, it was worse than that, I noticed a lack of young guys in the club period. So since this club was expensive to get into. That means that the people in here have to be rich too. That means that the majority of the guys were creepy old men with lots of cash in their hands and camera ready to go. As I was moving through the crowd, I danced a little, but this only led to me being caught by some guy who did not look that old but he was creepy alright and he was way too touchy freely. I had to get saved by my buddy DJ Kao. It was not fun. Let me just put it that way.</p>
 
 <p>The girls are hot though. The girls are smokin' hot. But this is not a good combination. What ended up happening was me and my friends going into the cage to have a good time and then old men took pictures up my dress. It kind of makes me sad that I wore my slutty dress to this club. What a waste...</p>
 
 <p>Also, it was possibly the greatest display on how good Asians are at taking their alcohol. All the way to the bathroom, I saw people throwing up. I felt bad for the team of people they hired to clean up the puke. Yeah, they had people. </p>
 
 <p>Oh there was also this lame moment where they turned on the lights, stopped the music, and told everyone on the loudspeaker that the cops were here and had to check our IDs. So everyone got carded, again. Pretty sick. We sat there for a while, too. Of course, it was all complicated at our table because we have a bunch of out-of-country IDs. </p>
 
 <p>One good thing I noticed about Plush though was the fact that they played pretty good music for the most part. Although a lot of it was still hard to dance to, it's better than techno-rave music at Luxy after midnight. I love Luxy, though...</p>

 <p>Although, I must say that I had a great time at Plush because I spent the time with a great group of people. I danced with our group and got saved if any creepers came by (Thanks, DJ Kao).</p>
 
 <p>So here's the final call on Plush. If you're a guy, young, you're hot, and you can afford to get in, please do and save all the hot girls from the creepy old men. </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FChina%2FTaiwan-Night-Clubbing-Plush.43904"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FChina%2FTaiwan-Night-Clubbing-Plush.43904" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
