Where are the Guabao (割包;/guàbāo) pork belly bun in Taiwan

For me coriander is the spice from the roots, and cilantro is the herb. They taste radically different to me. I go through lots of coriander in my own cooking; I can finally, finally grudgingly accept cilantro in food, but I doubt I’ll ever enjoy it.

I recently learned this as well; I wonder if that’s the case with many foods? I’m in the “like cilantro” category myself. I can’t imagine eating guabao, or zongzi, or Mexican salsa, or that ice cream-peanut powder-cilantro roll dessert without it.

Same with cucumber possibly.

Are you sure that’s the way to write guabao?

Yep. There’s a simplified character people use a lot as well

Sauerkraut is pretty good on a gua bao.
