Nikkei Matsuri and Taiwanfest!

Hello everyone!

Last week, I went to Nikkei Matsuri and Taiwanfest on the same day. I wore heels so my feet hurt after...^^"

The outfit~
I finally got to wear lolita again after 3 months and man, it feels awesome. I was so close to selling off my entire lolita wardrobe for new pieces but I just love them too much (though, I'm selling one here). I wore my much adored Royal Melty Chocolate salopette and DreamV OTK boots. Everything else is off brand.

she made such cute patterns!
I got the guy's okonomiyaki, so little mayo lol

Takoyaki!!
Food! The okonomiyaki looked really good so we tried it out! It's just kind of like a giant squished takoyaki. It has the same toppings but it has beef instead of octopus and lots of cabbage. Oh, and how can you not get takoyaki? It's different from the ones you get from the night market. It's slightly more expensive but I feel like it's worth. The shell is actually kind of crunchy versus the soggy night market ones. I was suprised with the pickled ginger they added.

The Nikkei Matsuri is more catered towards families. They had mainly activities for children that I felt a embarrassed to participate in haha. Lots of food stands and lots of live performances that everyone can enjoy! Too bad the weather was mediocre that day.

You can see the eh weather-
After going to the Japanese festival, I had to head downtown to pick up something and thought hey, let's check out Taiwanfest. I was only there for the latter part so I didn't get to see much. There were food stands (obviously) and many other organizations that put up stands. I got a mango jelly slush drink(?). This is my favourite thing to order. There's just so much to chew on and it tastes so good! 

That day felt like going to the night market lol. Maybe I should order other things next time-

Did you attend any of these events? Tell me about it! Especially the food :D

Toodles~
