Food in Taiwan - 1


Most Singaporeans were telling me that Taiwanese food is more than worth to try. Although most of local dishes here contain pork (Ref: "Wo bu chi zhu rou"), still I could enjoy some local delicacies. One of the best food can be found in the morning at special breakfast places (which are closed during the rest of the day), See Figure 1. For nice and cheap local dinners, one has to go to one of the nightmarkets where you can shop/eat (sounds familiar?!) in the evenings, my favourite is mutton soup which reminds our "koi shorpo" in Kyrgyzstan. One problem is definitely language, it is very hard (almost impossible) to find a place with menu in english ("Suffer!" one may say), see Figure 2. Luckily I have some people around to help me with choice, or my phrasebook which contains list of dishes so I just have to point its name to shop keeper. Still, the truth is that one has to learn chinese to enjoy life (or to survive) in Taiwan. Still food is good here :-))).
