Delicious breakfast awaits adventurous travelers, says AP in a story that CNN has picked up with global PR for Taiwan.
One great place to sample Chinese-style breakfast food is Taiwan. The bustling leaf-shaped country is one of the world’s best places for fantastic Chinese food. And the cooking starts at sunrise on almost every block in residential areas in the island nation’s densely populated cities.
The best places to look for breakfast shops are near subway stations, where the food is hurriedly snarfed up by what’s known in Taiwanese slang as the “Shangban Zu,” or the “commuting tribe.”
other breakfast dishes mentioned:
“you tiao,” (pronounced YO TEE-YAU)
“shao bing” (pronounced SHAU BING)
“dan bing,” (pronounced DAHN BING)
“man tou,” (pronounced MAHN TOW)
“baozi” (pronounced BAO ZEH), .
“dou jiang,” (pronounced DOUGH JEE-YANG) .
“ma la gao,” (pronounced MAH LAH GAU)
“fan tuan,” (pronounced FAHN TWAHN) or rice roll-ups.
I guess one of my fave’s would be the you tiaos with the warm sweetened soy milk. Unfortunately, not every breakfast store sells them. Appart from the toast, most other stuff in the breakfast stores is just too greasy for me in the morning.
