The Food of Taiwan

Because of the many foodie show Taiwan had produced, we always have the impression that it is a foodie nation. Indeed, everywhere we went, we see food. Gone were the regular meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner while we were there. We ate what we saw and while we walked.

They have so much variety of food and fruits. Even the Taiwan beef noodles, you can go for the spicy one or the hot one. And every county and city have their own local famous dishes. If you want beef noodles, then Taipei is the place. If you want to try their pineapple tarts, then Taichung is the place to go.

Some interesting finds we had:
- We chanced upon a stall named "Ice Cream King" near Ximenting which sells 70 over flavours of ice-cream. Ranging from bittergourd (which I bought) to curry, tonic soup etc. Of course, they sell the traditionals like red bean, chocolates too.

- They have so many kinds of fruits like white bitter gourd, custard apple (they call it Shi Jia), green plum and many many more. You'll go confused when you want to buy something from their fruit stalls.

- They have their local version of "roti prata" called Onion biscuit. Its really nice. A mix between roti prata with onion and butter milk biscuits (if you've taken the US version of McMuffins) but crispier and crunchier.

- Froget about fast food. You don't need to have a fast food meal when there are so much options of food to choose from.
