Apart from Chinese food, Taiwan Province snacks are unique in the world, with diverse types, which are the most representative food culture in Taiwan Province people's lives, including oyster omelet, milkfish belly porridge, fried rice noodles, big cakes and small cakes, wanluan pig's feet, noodles with large intestine clams, tempura and Tainan Danzai. In Taiwan Province, you can eat snacks everywhere, especially the night market, which is a very special culture in Taiwan Province. It is full of dazzling snacks and delicious food, and each night market has different characteristics and flavors. Through local snacks, tourists can know more about local specialties, culture and cultural allusions, adding a lot of rich colors to the journey.
There are dried beancurd in Daxi, Taoyuan, fish balls, grandmother's iron eggs and Agai in Tamsui, Yonghe City, Taipei County, authentic Yonghe Soymilk, tribute balls and rice noodles in Hsinchu County, chicken rice in Chiayi, rice cakes made of Shaoxing wine in Nantou, and sun cakes and pig's feet of water lions in Taichung ... you really have everything. As for noodles, fried cuttlefish, preserved vegetable eggs, fish soup, and noodles, you can find them in almost every small shop in Taiwan Province. But those stores that have been open for decades, or that have been passed down from the founders to this day, are the most authentic. For example, Danzai Noodles, an authentic century-old shop, is located in Tainan City, and its line number is called "Duxiaoyue Danzai Noodles". Everyone knows it in Taiwan Province, and it is the only one without semicolons. The store furnishings have always maintained the traditional style. There are no high tables and chairs, but only small benches. Guests sit around the stove and gossip about the history of "having an abortion" while watching the on-site modulation of the store. More than 9 years ago, there was a man named Hong Shantou in Tainan who made a living by fishing. However, from May to August every year, it is the season when typhoons are raging, and there is no way to go out to sea. So, he had to find another way to make a living, stir up the burden of a pot and a stove at one end and rice flour and noodles at the other, and sell the meat noodles of his hometown in Fujian. Because this time of year is called "Duxiaoyue" by fishermen, the noodles of Hong taro are called "Duxiaoyue Danzi Noodles", which has been passed down to this day.
Speaking of Tainan, another famous snack, it has a shocking name called "coffin board". It is made by frying thick slices of toast, hollowing it out, filling it with milk batter, chicken, potatoes, green beans, etc., and then covering the scraped bread crust. The coffin board is the "joke" of diners, and the boss simply named it after it. In Tamsui, Taipei, fish balls are made and sold everywhere. The main raw material of freshwater fish balls is to beat the first-class shark meat into pulp, which is very biting. Be careful when eating. You have to bite the fish balls open a small mouth and suck the meat stuffing and soup inside before you can chew them. The food stall at Miaokou in Keelung has existed since Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, and now there are two or three hundred stalls. The snack crab soup there is made of 6 kinds of materials, such as shredded fresh bamboo shoots, shredded fresh mushrooms, Nostoc flagelliforme and crab leg meat. Sitting by the stove and eating a bowl of crab soup will make you feel delicious in the world. The tomato in Kaohsiung Qijin is cut into pieces, put on a plate, dipped in soy sauce and plum powder, and then sent to the mouth. The taste is really indescribable.
In addition to snacks, there are actually some special things in Taiwan Province, such as mountain vegetables, cats, betel nut flowers, sugarcane shoots (actually small sugarcane seedlings), and seafood, such as the three treasures of Donggang, such as cherry shrimp and tuna. The sashimi of tuna melts in the mouth, and after eating it, you will feel that other fish are really ordinary.
The drinks in Taiwan Province are also very special and varied. You will find drinks with various flavors wherever you go, such as bubble tea in Taipei, Luoshen scented tea in Taitung and refreshing shaved ice made of condensed milk and various fruits. In particular, the ice cream made of cactus fruit juice invented by Penghu people tastes sweet and sour, which makes people want to eat it again.
