I was in Hong Kong for the National Day of the People’s Republic of China a bit over a week ago on Oct 1st and now I’m in Taiwan for Double Ten Day which is the National Day of the Republic of China.

One of the great things about Taiwan is the food. No, I didn’t eat the stinky tofu and no, I didn’t eat chicken feet, but pretty much everything else is pretty amazing.

Taiwan – Ice-cream

No Comments

A interesting Taiwanese snack that I had never seen before was this ice-cream burrito…actually since this is Asia, I guess maybe it’s more of an ice-cream egg-role.

The ice-cream burrito/egg-role thing was being sold at a little roadside food stand and was made from peanuts that were shaved off of a huge brick of peanut brittle using a woodworking plane. The peanuts and a couple of scoops of ice-cream were then wrapped in a thin papery skin.

Yummy!

You could also have cilantro added to the burrito/egg-role thing, but that just seemed a bit too weird for me and I stuck to one without the salad.

I'm not so sure about cilantro and ice-cream together

How can something that smells so bad taste good?

Taiwan – Food

Taiwan has lots of really delicious food to eat. Here’s a few photos of some of the tasty, strange and interesting foods that I tried while in Taiwan.

And if anyone is interested, no, I did not eat the stinky tofu. I don’t care what what people say, anything that smells that bad can not be good for you.

Beef Noodle Soup.

The white stuff is Tofu. The green black thing is a century egg, which is an egg that has been soaked in evil. Actually, it’s egg that has been soaked for weeks or months in a mud mixture, which sounds almost as bad as being soaked in evil.

Dumplings

Fried Mushrooms.

Shrimp, Bamboo, Noodle Soup, Noodles, and the really unpleasant looking one in front is Pork, which was pretty good.

Frog

Meat Filled Bun.

I have no idea, but I was told that it was a really famous dish.
