When we first got to Hualien, we had a snack at the 7-11. And by snack, I mean a drink: our very first Bar Beer, and a strange mixed shot of knock-off Kahlua and Bailey's. It was exactly 5:00 PM. Doritos were also involved.
We came to love Bar Beer. It was made by Kirin, and cost about a dollar for a normal 330 ml can at the nonstop. The thing is, it was actually tasty. There was a flavor profile to it. So at the end of a long day of sight-seeing, we'd happily have a Bar Beer or two.
Our first night we went to a buffet of sorts, where your food is weighed and you pay by the gram. I got some sort of curried-pork-schnitzel thing, fish, squid, veggies, and omelet. Along with some thick and pungent sauces, and the omnipresent white rice, it was a great meal for about 6 USD.
We had these stir-fried noodles with mushrooms and vegetables deep within the Taroko Gorge National Park for about 2.60 USD. The mushrooms were so delicious, with this really unique toothiness to them that I hadn't experienced before.
Not pictured: various sweet breads and kimbap-type things (non-fish sushi rolls) purchased at the 7-11 and eaten as breakfast/snacks.

The last night, we went to the night-market, where I had a fresh pineapple-and-cream smoothie, this beautiful pork dumpling, and stir-fried noodles with shaved lamb and fresh spring onions. I also tried some sweet-potato fries and traditional ice cream, but I don't have pictures of those. Night markets are the best place to eat, for sure!
