Yummy food from Taiwan - Part 1

Just came back from Taiwan trip and i shall blog about the food i ate over there in the next few entries!

There are quite a number of Japanese fast food outlets in Taiwan and for our first dinner in Taiwan, my friends and I step into TonKatsu, one of the Japanese fast food outlets we could find in XiMenDing. And of cos, i ate Tonkatsu for my meal:

Tonkatsu Set

This Tonkatsu set comes with a bowl of rice, Miso soup, a plate of Tonkatsu and a Jelly-like dessert. You can add a cup of drink for NT$15 (if i remember correctly). You can go for additional servings of rice or miso soup if you wish to. There is a small self-service counter for additional servings of rice or/and miso soup. Good recommendation for people who have a big appetite =) because it's not only nice but filling as well!


While on our way to Wu Fen Pu (Garments Wholesale Area), we settled our lunch at one of the little eateries located next to one of the metro exits at HouShan Pi station.

"Suan La" (Sour & Spicy) soup.

It taste quite different from our local Sweet and Sour soup. I don't really like the taste of it. My friends and i were still figuring whether it's the Pig's blood or the Black vinegar that contributed to the weird taste I dislike.

Cong You Bing.

This Cong You Bing is delicious! It's kinda similar to our roti prata.. I like the crispy taste and the Spring Onions in it. And it's not very oily. Good.

Xiao Long Bao.

We love Xiao Long Bao!! Tender meat and the gravy! Yum Yum.. But the pork taste is slightly stronger than our local ones somehow. Well, I still find it yummy!

Miao Er Duo (Cat's Ears).

No worries! This ain't real cat's ears! Initially we thought they really eat cat's ears. But we came to realise that these like cat's ear-like stuff are made from dough. It's abit like our Mee Huan Kuay. I personally like this dish because i like the taste, but one of my friends doesn't really fancy this dish because there's cuttlefish taste in the gravy.
