Why should he/she/they? He/she/they might come here simply for the fun. You do know about fun, yeah? It involves laughing and unclenching one’s arsecheeks at the same time. It’s how one makes friends even from far away.
I think he means that it would not be expedient opening a restaurant that sells Taiwanese food in any other country but Taiwan.
Taiwanese open “Chinese” places when they move, selling sweet and sour pork, Shanghai steak, Peking duck, fried noodles and fortune cookies.
Most certainly not century eggs, rotten tofu and gummy, sweet, oyster omelets.
The FAMOUS muck just doesn’t feature.
There are two Taiwanese restaurants around Albany, NY. One is more HK noodles, and the other is a sit down place with sushi and regular western “Chinese food.” The family thinks its very good, but I think it’s OK. I just smile and pay the bill. They happy, me happy.
Yep. I’ve been to many Taiwanese-owned restaurants in South Africa, and it’s all western “Chinese food”.
I wonder why the FAMOUS Taiwanese food doesn’t ever feature on the menus.
Food is fucking food. I won’t travel thousands of miles and spend thousands of dollars for a sandwich made of sweet baby pigs entrails. The ONLY place I can say the food was top five on a vacation/trip was Hokkaido. But if you don’t like seafood, sashimi or ramen, yer fooked.
