Taiwanese Food Fiesta~!

Hi guys, I'm back, and here to introduce to you all the fine tasting cuisine I hunted around for and tasted in beautiful Formosa!

One of the first stops I went to in Taiwan was Tamshui's Lovers' Bridge, where the guide told me, was one of the filming locations for the popular taiwanese serial - Meteor Garden. Being located right next to the Fishermen's Wharf, strong and chilly winds were expected, and my fingers froze up barely 2 mins after I got off the tour bus.

Anyways, after crossing the bridge - on to the food! I found a nice row of shops selling all sorts of food! In that kind of weather, something (or even anything) hot and piping would be really good to warm up the body... I bought myself a giant chicken cutlet (twice the size of those u find in Singapore!!!)


Look at the sheer size of the chicken cutlet!! Topped with generous helpings of salt, pepper and chilli powder =D....


You can never find cutlet done do such perfect standard in Singapore... 外香脆，内松软 - Crispy and flaky on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside! In Taiwan, they say "赞！" MUST TRY


Picture of Tamshui Old Street, where you can find some of Taiwan's famous makanmakan here... Some famous food you can find here are the Iron Eggs, vegetable and prawn crackers and some tofu dish (but I can't remember the name now, will post it once I do).


Some rip-off of Starbucks' logo here... there are at least 3 other companies with similar looking logos in Taiwan...


Shih-Lin Night Market - Home to the orignal Giant Chicken Cutlet and many other delicacies! Look for the longest queue extending out of the market into the open area outside, and you've found the queue for the Giant Chicken Cutlet! =)


There are at least 5-8 stalls in the night market providing this famous dish - Oyster Omelette or Oh Ah Jian 蚵仔煎...


Another one of the famous delicacies here - Seafood Porridge with Abalone slices. Other flavours available too!


Didn't forget to try the Ajisen Ramen while I was in Taiwan... this one's their version of the Volcano Ramen here.


This is what I chose, seems to be their version of Ton Toro Ramen back in SG.

My only regret is not being able to try out the Ah Chung Mee Sua in Ximen Ting because the queue was too long!!! Oh well... next time, perhaps!

Look out for my next post on HK food!

More posts coming soon!
