What are the ultimate foods that people can't stop in Taiwan Province?

In addition to the beautiful sightseeing scenery, Taiwan Province Treasure Island enjoys an international reputation for its amazing food and snacks. The food in this island combines the cuisines of southern Fujian, Fujian, mainland China and other places, as well as Japanese cooking characteristics. In Taipei alone, 20 streets are full of snacks.

In the early years, CNN Food Edition held a food voting activity, and Taiwan Province won the championship with 8242 votes, and listed 40 kinds of snacks that must be eaten in Taiwan Province. I chose the top five in my mind to talk to you in detail:

1- braised pork rice:

Speaking of Taiwan Province cuisine, I have to mention braised pork rice. Braised pork drenched in hot white rice is sweet, salty, plain and simple, and it is an indispensable food for everyone in Taiwan Province.

2- Beef Noodles:

The origin of beef noodles in Taiwan Province is made because the veterans who came to Taiwan across the sea miss their hometown. Over time, it has gradually evolved into Taiwan Province beef noodles, which is now a must-eat list for Taiwan Province tourists with international reputation. With the increasing competition, many beef noodle shops now allow customers to choose which part of the beef to use, beef brisket, beef tendon or tripe? Is beef bone, pig bone or traditional Chinese medicine used in soup? These are all for customers to choose from.

Moreover, Taiwan Province has also held competitions and carnivals for beef noodles, the most famous of which is the Taiwan Province International Beef Noodle Festival. It can be seen that beef noodles are very important in the eyes of Taiwanese people and are one of the delicious foods that many tourists must visit when they come to.

By the way, I recommend a super red beef noodle, which has been mentioned in many Taiwan Province variety shows: No.274, Section 2, Bade Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei.

3- oyster omelet

Taiwan Province's Treasure Island is surrounded by the sea, so seafood is also an indispensable food, such as clams. The civilian food oyster omelet, which can be seen everywhere in night markets, originated from Chaoshan area in China. It looks like an omelet, and it is easy to make and delicious. Almost every night market in Taiwan can find stalls selling oyster omelet. In addition to oyster omelet, there is also oyster rice noodle, which is also a must-eat food.

4- bubble tea

Speaking of bubble tea, maybe everyone is familiar with it. It is said that most people in Taiwan Province love the chewy taste, so they add the glutinous rice balls made of sweet potato powder to the rich and sweet milk tea. In Taiwan Province, two famous brands, Chunshuitang and Hanlin Teahouse, both claimed that they were the ancestors of bubble tea. No matter which store made it first, there are bubble tea with different flavors everywhere in Taiwan Province and even in the mainland, but you can try it if you have the chance:

Chunshuitang: No.48, Art Street, Longjing District, Taichung City, Taichung City

Hanlin Teahouse: No.313, minzu road II Section, Tainan City.

5- pineapple cake

Pineapple cake, as one of the mandatory gifts for tourists. Mainly make pure pineapple sauce or wax gourd sauce, or wax gourd mixed with pineapple into small pies. Because the homonym of Taiwanese dialect in pineapple is prosperous, with the meaning of auspicious prosperity and jubilation, it is a must-buy for many people to give gifts.
