The last Taiwan food

Many of my friends gave me souvenirs when I left Taiwan last week. I like those so much. However, it made me headache when I was packing and struggling with total weight of my luggage and bags. Finally I decided to send some of stuffs in advance through post office and I did it.

I received 2 boxes sent via air while still waiting 7 big boxes via ship. There were some cookies and traditional foods among air boxes. I show some of them. A big cookie looks like roofing tile is a famous "tile cookie" of Taiwan. Three pieces really big and large to eat, so people usually enjoy at party.

I'm not so sure when I can have Taiwanese food again. I expect I can visit there in Winter. I miss some very delicious food such as beef noodle or fried salt chicken as well as those below.

 
 
 
 

Street foods

I am going to show some of common food in Taiwan. You can see and enjoy those delicious food in most of streets. Regarding taste, I'm willing to recommend noodles in various ways although I can't eat pork at all. I used to try them without soup, yet wonderful smell and taste of noodles will make you feel happy.

It's Danzi Myon擔仔麵. There are many good restaurants serving this nice traditional noodle in Tainan. Some old owner will suggest you strongly to eat it with boiled egg, then you just agree and try it. It is amazingly matching. I promise.

This restaurant is famous for its wonderful interior and decoration. The owner was once just a moneyless divorced woman, but she made great success in business, especially this beautiful restaurant. I like it. I'll introduce more about this restaurant in other post.

It's a kind of spring roll, ChunChuen春捲. But it's for vegetarian at this time. As other food in Taiwan, there are various different tastes in the same roll. You can order as you wish. I chose this vegetable roll. It's a bit big for one hand.

The other is fried chicken, named as SienSuChi鹹酥雞. It was my favorite for a long while. I don't enjoy much now because it's fried food, and I need to avoid that for the time being. But I miss that delicious flesh and side vegetables given together. I had enjoyed it at Wilujie in Tainan, near ChengKong university. This photo was taken at Peimen Ru.

New slideshow by blogger here.

I added a slideshow in sidebar as you see. Actually I was seeking a feed elements by google, but I just did it when I'm reading about that feed articels on web.

Flickr is nice but only 200 photos are available for free user that I cannot do anything more there. I have another account on yahoo but also it's hard to link with two different username at the same time.

The other recent discovery is photobucket. They provide 1G as well, however, it's not the point. They allow remix users' photos' and video clips on web with Premiere software. While Myspace bans any kinds of copyrighted sources, original sources are more important now when publishing.

One of my friends answered back, "enough!" when I tried to suggest to create a new account in photobucket if she needs more space for her fotos. It doesn't mean she has enough space, rather, my continuous suggestions of new discoveries is making her crazy on. I understand.

Even I am confused by so many usernames and passwords, dear... But the point is that I need a good space for my blogs and photos to share. I'm not free account collector even though I'm a collector of various stuffs in my room.

Let me see... I'll see how is this new slideshow with mix of feed, blog element, and photo space for the time being. The photos are from one of my albums in Picasaweb. Everything is google family now, dear...

Eating coffin with religious faith!!!

 
 

Hey, can you imagine? They are coffin. Left is "garlic taste coffin bread," the other is "coffin meal." But they are delicious!

Coffin meal is a famous Tainan sepcial food. The restaurant I took this picture is proud of their 130 years history. As you see, it's a toast with very thick soup in the middle of it. Soup is usually chicken, seafood, and some vege. I've tried it a year ago somewhere and forgot the place. Recently A teacher showed me a book about a brave Taiwanese woman, which reads feeling and memories about this city, and also have some photos of food. And I found the one of this coffin meal.
You'd bet we've rushed there then, sure. It's in Hai-an(海安) road, where was old streets and streams but rennovated totally as a new town of young people.
The bread is found at the bakery near school. It's not bad neither. I don't like they baked it with too much butter, but I like garlic taste yet.
If you wanna visit and try coffin meal, please see my Picasaweb and check the map. I tried to point out the exact place, however provided map it limited as shown there. But you can find it easily.

Food

I'm collecting photos of food in Taiwan. Already missed many chances but I'd like to post them I have. As I didn't know, Taiwanese food is much different from Chinese food. I didn't know that.

Their food is usually flat. They don't like spicy or strong seasons. Todays, young people enjoy hot and spicy hot pot. But it's not common. Most of their food are just boiled or roasted. On the street, many small shops sell 'fast food' and used to add pepper or red pepper if customer wants. But in the restaurant, it's totally different. They just eat a little salty food.

I ate a fried yam yesterday. In honest I forgot its name. It was not yam or potato but very big as bigger than my palm. And the taste was much similar to potato and good.
