My Favorite SF Dessert: Chounuts

June 12, 2016by joce 2 Comments

🍔💤Hangry thoughts: It’s 1am in Paris right now and I’m so hungry but already in bed...so I looked at photos of food I ate in Taiwan at a night market a few weeks ago and am trying to imagine the taste of those amazing incredible candy syrup covered strawberries on a stick🍓✨ and now I’m both happy and disappointed because I remember the flavor but I can’t have it right now...I wonder if others do this when they’re hungry and craving certain foods in the middle of the night?!? Or maybe I’m just a weirdo. Now I’m thinking about 🍕 + 🌮. I hope I dream about food tonight...💭 *end rant* // #foodieproblems #firstworldproblems #hangry #midnightcravings #taiwanesefood #nightmarkets
