Taiwan 1.1

Location: North, North-West, Central Taiwan
Attatched are some other food photos form the spring break trip to Taiwan.

First real breakfast in Taiwan @Beautiful Hotel
Lots of Lox, candied juju berry, wheat gluten, ham, crisp fish w/ peanuts


 Local Fisherman @ Tanshui Wharf

Mexican Meatballs @ Juming Museum
This was actually just Italian meatballs w/ tomato sauce
Rice and fries were perfect

Coast of Northern Taiwan


Night Market in Taichung
These particular stalls were interesting with the frogs and other stuff.

Known as Monkey Balls:
 Light Dough filled with octopus and topped with bonito flakes and a sweet sauce.


Oyster Noodles: In a gelatinous broth and oyster sauce
Unfortunately the gelatinous texture threw me off a little bit.

Pork Dumpling: Steamed pork enveloped in a thick chewy case. Topped with a savory oyster based sauce. On top of that was a thinner sweet sauce (mochi flavor) to cut the saltyness.

Stinky Tofu: Fried stinky tofu with soy. This stuff could literally be smelt from the whole street. Despite the pungent odor, the taste is decent with a slight sourness.
