Personal Connection

In Taiwan, there is a restaurant that sells all their dishes for $99 NTDs, which is roughly $3 USDs. One of the dishes they sell is this stir-fried clam dish. I can’t replicate the taste since they use fresher clams and real woks with greater heat, but I think my version tastes perfectly fine as well. Another thing that I can’t replicate is the unlimited watermelon juice that this restaurant provided for no extra cost to the customers.
