Many, but that first bite of a proper traditional Guabao is tough to beat. That first bite is always the best.

Better than american hamburgers we got in TW. Obviously, american hamburgers are more expensive, smaller and less tasty in Taiwan. That´s why Guabao surpasses.

In Taiwan revenge is always served as a pot of steaming hot soup.

I thought revenge was a dish best served cold!

I dislike it all more or less evenly

None are worse than the other ones?

I have to say, homestyle cooking

Most are worse, but some are even worser.

I guess if I could go to a restaurant I’d go to Din Tai Fung and get some dan dan mian.

Sometimes I like simple chicken rice (or Turkey Rice in some shops)

I can’t think of a favorite, and anyway, I have pretty unsophisticated tastes, but I guess I must like shāoròu (chāshāo) a lot, because I’ve eaten a lot of it over the years. (It just occurred to me that chāshāo may very well be a Cantonese dish. I have a distant memory of calling it “Hong Kong Barbecue.” Anyway, I’ve never been to Canton, so it’s Taiwanese to me.) I haven’t eaten it lately, because the nearby biàndang restaurant moved. That’s not a very good excuse; they didn’t move that far. But I guess I’m just lazy. Besides, everything looks different where they moved, and I’m set in my ways.

I also used to really like miso with chāshāo and noodles added, but I haven’t had that lately, either. Maybe that’s from laziness, too. Or maybe I’m like the guy in the old song: I don’t get around much anymore. :slight_smile: But maybe one day I’ll get around to going by the local soup place again, and I’ll ask for some of that wèizēng chāshāo lāmiàn.

Edited to add: I think the reason that I stopped eating miso with chāshāo and noodles is that initially, I started suspecting that the chāshāo, which is pork, was red because it was undercooked. But now I’m pretty sure it’s not red because of being undercooked. I think it’s red because the process of making chāshāo makes it red. However, if you have any doubts, then before ordering miso with chāshāo, maybe you should ask someone who really knows about that kind of stuff.

Edited to add No. 2: But the red color of the shāoròu never stopped me from ordering it with rice from the biàndang place. :idunno:

Just now Googled it and saw some pics. Looks good, but the description sounds kind of dangerous to an old belly like mine.

Wow, that brings back some memories. Used to be my go-to meal (from the shop down the road from my apartment) when I couldn’t be arsed to find anything else. Simple and filling, and NT$25 back in the day, IIRC.

GOOD gua bao. There’s a lot of crap places that make the meat too gelatinous and gross. But a good gua bao is heaven.

I guess we can’t count Kung Pao since it’s more of a Chinese dish, but that’s probably the thing I order the most here.

Idk if i can pick a favorite as Taiwanese food is usually eaten with various dishes.
