Shiro's Hangout |staying active!!|

[ShiroGEM]

Agreed! I really love sitting on the HSR because of that snack seller that rolls up and down the trains haha
I assume the bullet train in Japan has something similar but the HSR in Taiwan has their own on brand bento lunches! I haven't eaten one before because I'm always riding to the airport but they're really cute looking

[npixelz]

That sounds fun

[Mouse]

That is absolutely adorable!! How cute

[galled]

How fun! What is the train item? A drink?

[Gingerale]

salad, tea egg and roast pork?

[npixelz]

What the flumpernickle is a tea egg?

[Vivianne]

It's a Chinese snack! A boiled egg is cracked gently and then boiled in tea. Its super tasty!

[npixelz]

Oh wow! I didn't know about that! That's cool

[Gingerale]

Isn't there something called a thousand year old egg that is brown like that as well? Or is that what they call the tea egg?

ok, I looked it up myself. "The 1000 year old egg is a duck or chicken egg that has been preserved by soaking the egg in a brine of salt and lye. Also known as 'century egg' or 'pidan', it is considered a delicacy in China and among Asian populations in the U.S. Although the egg is not 1000 years old, it looks as though it might be."

[npixelz]

Wow, that's cool

[Lemon Cheesecake]

ShiroGem, did you get all the egg jackets and hats? I have a couple extra of some.

How about Murmurlade?

[npixelz]

I can also give out some eggstras

[Vivianne]

I sent Shiro some stuff in a trade, but I also accidentally left two items out.

[ShiroGEM]

tea eggs are different to 1000 year old eggs! in taiwan we eat more of tea and soy eggs! you can get them in convenience stores like 7/11 most of the time and it's affordable and really good! tea eggs are typically boiled in a ton of spices, they're usually eaten by themselves while soy eggs are boiled with pork and soysauce to make a stew eaten with rice! (my favourite is soy quail eggs... they're so good)

thousand year old eggs are kind of a luxury item lol they're eaten cold most of the time but they're pretty popular in congee! i'm not the biggest fan because of the weird jelly texture to be honest, but my dad loves them!

@lemon
mur has the black and the pink egg jacket! they're seeking the blue and beige one right now

vivianne npixelz
thanks for helping out you guys!! T-T
i have the black sunny side cap so vivianne's trade completes all the hats for me! i haven't gotten any of the jackets so if you guys have any extras feel free to send them my way and i'll send whatever extra past event items i have on hand~ sorry if i'm disappearing for a few days though! my courses will be over at the end of may so i'll be popping in more C:

[ShiroGEM]

oh i forgot to answer the train item, i think that might be bottled water LOL i'm not actually sure because they switch out the merchandise quite often! you can get train toys, stationery and a bunch of other similar stuff in vending machines around the station
