Taiwan 2016 Food Recap, Part 1

05/04/2016 by Jinxi 4 Comments

I realized that I still have a ton of pictures from Taiwan to share, so today I’ll do another trip recap post. This is pretty much a pictures dump post… you’ve been forewarned.

To start, my favorite meal of the day (when I’m in Taiwan)… breakfast.

蘿蔔糕
蘿蔔糕 

This popular Cantonese dim sum is also a popular Taiwanese breakfast dish! The turnip cakes are heated on a griddle, so that the outside gets a browned and crispy. 

Egg Pancake蛋餅 

Another classic Taiwanese breakfast item, “dan bing” – it tastes similar to the savory scallion pancake, and often served rolled up with a fried egg and some type of filling. My favorite filling is pork floss, or 肉鬆, but this one pictured above just has the egg.

Teppan Noodles炒麵 

Apparently, having chow mein for breakfast is a Taichung “thing”. We didn’t know this until shortly before our trip, even though S has lived in Taichung almost his entire life, hehe.

We also had a couple of meals of “traditional” Chinese/Taiwanese breakfast, with shao bing, you tiao, etc. Unfortunately, I forgot to document those…

Some other miscellaneous meals that we had…

Corn & Ham Sandwiches_DSC3910 

I’m glad that the Taiwanese agree with my assessment that corn makes (almost) everything better. These little sandwiches made with mantou (Chinese steamed buns), ham, and corn were delicious. 

Roast Duck

Steamed Shrimp_DSC3768 

S doesn’t like shrimp, but the rest of his family loves it so I get more chances to eat it when I’m with them in Taiwan, hehe.

鐵板牛柳 Sizzling Beef_DSC3908 

This is one of S’s comfort foods. Since he’s the only one in his family who doesn’t eat much seafood, they usually get a beef or pork dish for him – and to this day, this sizzling beef dish is one of his favorites and go-to orders when we’re at Chinese restaurants. 

Steamed Goose_DSC3907 

I love duck, but I love goose meat even more – compared with duck, goose meat is juicier and more tender. Our favorite place is 小林鵝肉 in Fengyuan – after trying goose various places throughout Taichung, theirs is still the most flavorful. For a small city, Fengyuan really has a lot of hidden treasures!

Okay, that’s all I’ll share for today. Stay tuned for more in the future!
