Taiwanese food sucks!

I only stopped eating it because it’s not very healthy.

Whaaaa?

[tempogain]

Well, there is probably a lot in the “stinkiest” pool

Deep-fried in mystery oil…hello!

[tempogain]

Unlike the other foods

I remember I stopped eating the little marinated snails because it’s unhealthy. I think that was like 25 years ago.

That’s why you stopped eating them?

Maybe Been 25 years since I had one though!

Bruh, sounds like you’re having a bit of bad luck finding the right restaurants.

[tempogain]

Home cooking, that’s what it’s all about.

I’ve had a few foreigners claim they actually like stinky tofu but they won’t look me in the eye when they say it.

Surprisingly, it’s one of the less offensive Taiwanese dishes. It tastes nothing like it smells. I only stopped eating it because it’s not very healthy.

Thank you for that. I’m going to start practicing for the Taiwan citizenship interview by looking in the mirror every day and repeating “I love cho dofu but I had to stop eating it for health reasons.”

I have to admit it’s a humbling experience sitting at a table full of Taiwanese homeys oohing and ahhing over a dish of stinky tofu and wondering what the is wrong with me.

It’s not as weird as a foreigner eating balut and drinking rum with the locals in the Philippines.

@QuaSaShao

I was hoping some foreigner who actually likes stinky tofu could tell me.

It’s the being appreciated by the locals part for eating the tofu, then they tell you now you’re Taiwanese.

It’s actually healthy as it’s fermented, but off course deep frying it changes that.

In the wake of COVID-19, reporting on Asia isn't what it used to be

South Korea might seem a surprising choice for journalists who question the notion of working in a country with relatively little English spoken, harsh weather, high rents and challenging food. Some foreign media report difficulties in gaining access to government briefings and officials. But it remains an ideal location to cover one of Asia’s most enduring stories: North Korea, the world’s most reclusive state.

Taiwan is another place now emerging as a regional media hub, having seen an influx of foreign reporters since 2020. According to Taiwan’s foreign ministry – probably the region’s most helpful press liaison operation – 124 reporters are now operating from Taiwan, including from publications such as The New York Times, BBC and The Guardian. Like me, many of them find it an ideal base to keep watch on China from a safe distance.

Adding to its appeal, Taipei has world-class street food options, a vibrant urban landscape and a stunning mountain backdrop. Its breezy and uncomplicated lifestyle has made it a favorite location for expats. Taiwan was recently voted for the third consecutive year as the best place to live by InterNations Expat Insider.

Well well look at that.

Well well look at that.

Bizarre…Korean food is much better than Taiwanese food.

Those things are freakin’ delicious. Try it if you haven’t.
