So many possible 蛋餅 for breakfast. I don’t know the appropriate translation, since it’s not really an omelet. Many years ago, I did have a parent ask me if it should be called an “egg cookie.” That was funny
Reputable sources say that Taiwan is second only to Japan, sometimes superior, in terms of sashimi and sushi. Unpopular opinion: I’ve tried the most famous takoyaki in Japan, but find most night market takoyaki in Taiwan to be much more delicious!
A bit more controversial, and sporadic. Taiwanese school lunches. This is from a school where I was conducting school visit/ evaluation. Such a great lunch.
Likely the most controversial, and my final entry, is the century egg. This particular one was provided to me by a very good friend who had access to a local source of the most traditional variety. Very pungent, yet very delicious. Great mouthfeel and umami taste. From my first month in Taiwan until now, I still enjoy them in congee, with tofu, 滷味 or deep-fried, or even eaten directly.
This is a ubiquitous dish in Taiwan and it’s not just steak but chicken, squid and pork. It’s extremely popular I’m surprised you didn’t know how Taiwanese this is. Families love these places cheap and cheerful and while the meat might not be sirloin it’s still way better than your average burger.
What is strongly flavoured and overly processed exactly? Food is ‘they’?
Put some meat on the bones of yer statement otherwise it means nothing at all. Take some hints from KongTaiJGi how to put some effort into a thread comment.
I was just making a comment as a hint for anyone who may be interested in starting their own research on it. Google is your best source to find out about the expired oil, ingredients, reconstructed meat, artificial flavors in Taiwanese food.
Singaporeans are cute. Relying on Indian, Chinese and especially Malaysian cuisine to get them through the day. They should etc a friggen cane session for such blasphemy as calling it spaghetti. Try using actual spaghetti noodles for this type of pan fried noodle. It’s literally a fresh noodle (never dried) and relatively freshly made thrown onto the iron hot plate. I’m not a fan personally, but Singpaore can F right off with their ignorance on food
Not the salmon. If I go to a beef steak noodle type place, always the salmon. Always mention dry/crispy. The chicken is usually decent as well. Beef in Taiwan just isn’t our strong suite. I think we can all agree. But good beef is available more and more now. It’s just pretty expensive compared to locally produced tortured meat in cages.
No, I don’t eat burgers, sausages, meat balls etc. I only eat grass-fed beef (whole piece, not ground meat) when I choose to eat meat. Food quality is important to me and I can afford good quality food.
YMMV.
All salmon in Taiwan are imported "farm raised " salmon. I do not eat salmon when I am in Taiwan. I eat Alaska wild salmon often when I am in the U.S. Even in the U.S., the price of wild salmon is at least twice as farm raised.
YMMV.
A quick Google search will tell you wild salmon numbers have plummeted around the world, they are listed as endangered in many countries and many places from Scotland to Canada have ben instituting bans and severe restrictions on fishing for them. Certainly I remember salmon spawning and jumping in our West coast rivers when I was a kid sadly they are a rare sight now or completely extinct in some rivers.
Thanks for spending time google on this subject.
I was talking about U.S., not Canada or Scotland. As a consumer, I am just happy to purchase any product on the market that I think is best for me. As an analogy, people are still free to buy fossil fueled cars until they are banned. Are you going to preach to your friends and families because they drive or buy gas cars? I wouldn’t, because I respect everybody’s opinion and their right.
Ah so you are from the US eating wild salmon in Taiwan do it’s ok. Wild salmon comes from Texas is it, I assume its the best wild salmon in the world too coming from the US .
