1. China Taiwan Province Cuisine
Taiwan Province snacks are a series of special street foods in Taiwan Province, and they are also one of the best representatives of local culture in Taiwan Province.
It is not so easy to give an accurate definition of Taiwan Province snacks. Perhaps we can try to make the following distinctions: in a narrow sense, it only refers to snacks originating in Taiwan Province, such as bubble tea; Because snacks are highly variable and easy to develop with regions and time, in a broad sense, they can also include those vulgar foods that are prosperous and innovative in Taiwan Province, but can be seen and even carried forward everywhere in Taiwan Province, such as: fried bun, oyster omelet, braised pork rice, meat dumplings, diced noodles, cheese potatoes, braised pork rice, grilled chicken steak, etc. As for the broadest definition, it can even include any snacks that are very popular in Taiwan Province, such as Taiwan Province scallion cake, stinky tofu and pig blood cake.
Due to its unique food culture, Taiwan Province snacks have formed a unique snack night market. The famous ones are Fengjia Night Market, Shilin Night Market and 888 Night Market. In recent years, all provinces and cities in the mainland are building snack streets in Taiwan Province, and you can taste the authentic Taiwan Province flavor without going to Taiwan Province.
Features:
Some snacks are called by regional names because of regional differences. For example, the word wanluan in wanluan pig's feet is the place name. However, just as Sichuan beef noodles are not from Sichuan, sometimes it is best to use them as proper nouns. Street snacks that have not yet become famous often have no storefront, but only a booth. Many shops use disposable tableware and plastic bags, and they will not invoice consumers. The unit price of most snacks is quite low.
In Taiwan Province, snack makers are often family-run. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to get started, but people who want to start a business actively sometimes study as apprentices first. In recent years, snack cram schools have also been developed in Taiwan Province, where people who want to run snack stalls can take classes together and learn special sauce flavor and other production methods. In addition, many food manufacturers have also developed some snack packages that can be eaten as fast as instant noodles. For example, the conditioning packages of mutton stoves are available in major supermarkets in Taiwan Province, and instant burning grass is also available in some places. Even noodles have their own conditioning packages that are convenient to cook.

During the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, Meng Chang, the Emperor of the Later Shu Dynasty, preferred hibiscus flowers and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees on the city walls.
