I'm Back!

Hello folks! I've been quite busy the past three weeks… however, I am back to introduce lots of wonderful foods here in Taiwan. 

Sweet potato fries with ling hing mui (salty dried plum powder)! There are only a few places that make it good. This place in Jin Mei market makes them the best in my opinion!

Kiki- one of our favorite restaurants. Crispy skin with soft (I mean, SOFT) tofu. I am not a tofu kind of person but I LOVED this dish!

Also at Kiki. Garlic pork slices. Also delisher.

Here we have my childhood love- egg covered rice. I got this at a food court of a mall. Fried pork cutlet was juicy and the curry sauce was so delicious with the egg and the rice. Drooling right now...

Ah, and here we have rotating sushi… jealous?

 Here is one of the hottest things here now at the night markets- stuffed potatoes! I think the way they make them is to first mashed their potatoes, roll them into potato sized balls, fry the balls, then split them open and add in your favorite ingredients, THEN they pour tons of melted cheese over everything. Here we have broccoli, corn, and ham. God it was sooo good but I was a little afraid of a heart attack in the midst of indulging.

Hey, what's a night market without stinky tofu???

Large sausage covered small sausage (direct translation). Sticky rice covering Chinese sausage with some sauerkraut and a slice of cucumber!

YUMS, got the sashimi from a fish market. SOOO fresh and so cheap. $10USD for all this fresh fish!

Intestine noodles- You might think it's gross but whatevs, it's good. Please dont mind the deoderant in the back of the pic… long story...

Taiwanese Tempora. Basically some turnip, different fish cakes, and tofu topped with a sweet sauce. Really traditional Taiwanese stuff...

Stinky tofu again!

This is A-ge. It's the first time I've ever had it. We got it from Danshui, where A-ge is famous for. It is fried tofu skin covered in dong fen (noodles made with mung beans), then they seal the pocket with fish cake batter. They also top it with the same kind of sweet sauce as Chinese tempora.

This is also a very traditional Taiwanese dish… fried rice noodles. Also got this in Danshui. It was very good!!


Alright that is all for today. I will be sharing some more stuff with y'all next time!
