What we would like to
introduce includes…
The novel things you might
have never seen.
The reasons you might
want to visit Taiwan.
First, the Crane Game!
Yup!
This is the game you have probably heard of
in the video game
Mario Party playing Nintendo 64,
except that
we have the real version!
In America,
you only see these machines in Las Vegas,
but in Taiwan,
you can find them almost anywhere.
How to play?
There are various kinds of items
displayed in a clear box.
You push in a coin to start the machine.
Control your “crane” or “claw”
so it is right above the item you want.
Press the “ Go ” button
and it all goes down to luck.
It is not as easy as it seems.
What’s inside it?
The items in the machine may include
stuffed animals, key chains, wallets,
and even watches!
What else?
When you get lucky, you can own
the item without paying the full price. If you have
tried and failed, and have already pushed in the
coins of the same value, inform the clerk, and he’ll
open up the machine and give it to you as a purchase.
It is a great game that collaborates purchasing and
the fun of the game.
Then…
Taiwan’s famous food or snacks,
which can easily be seen at the
unique night market.
Stinky Tofu
Some think it smells bad,
Some think it smells good.
From a distance,
it does smell irritating,
but the closer you get, the nicer it smells.
Moreover, when it enters your mouth,
the stink becomes an awesome sensation
that only those who dare to try can understand.
It is one of the most popular foods in our night markets.
Most Taiwanese are attracted to its smell;
however, very few foreigners dare to give it a try.
Stinky tofu is a deep fried gourmet
made from soy beans that underwent fermentation.
After it is deep fried,
we season it with some black vinegar, chili, chopped garlic,
and some Chinese pickled vegetables.
It tastes way better than it sounds.
Pork Intestine Taiwanese Noodles with Oysters
Another food that tastes better than its name.
Undoubtedly,
it is a bowl of Taiwanese Noodles
that are eaten with chopped pork intestines
and tinier oysters you see in America.
Yes, pork intestines!
But it is not as yucky as it sounds.
Trust us!!
It is a very traditional snack
that can be found in every night market.
Perhaps his secret of its amazing taste
is in the noodles.
Taiwanese noodles are thinner
than most of the noodles you see.
It contains potato starches
that give the thin noodles a thicker taste.
We often add some black vinegar
and cilantro on it to bring up the taste.
Kantoni (Guangdong Boils)
Guangdong Boils,
a dish with a funny name
rather than a disgusting one.
This food is quite popular everywhere around Taiwan.
It is kind of like a hot food snack.
Various foods are placed in a big divided cooking pot
for the customers to choose from.
It usually contains vegetable rolls, tempura, instant
noodles, pig blood cake, and internal organs (pork
liver, pork intestines, etc.).
The pig blood mixed with rice is made into a cake,
so there isn’t any blood in the soup.
Again, the internal organs don’t taste as bad as they
sound. The braised meat stew is the source of its
taste. The foods are usually served with soy sauce,
separately from the soup, because people love the
awesome flavor of the soup.
Tempura
The name Tempura comes from Portuguese,
It means “quick”.
It is made from fish paste.
It is a deep fried snack found in night markets.
The out layer appears golden when it is
served.
Soy sauce and chili are added to give it a
better taste.
Minced Meat Rice / Braised pork rice
Basically,
It’s a bowl of rice covered with Taiwanese gravy.
The gravy is made out of minced pork
braised in soy sauce and other spices.
In some places, they serve it with a boiled egg
and a piece of pickled turnip.
Fried Yam
Mashed yam or sweet potatoes
mixed with flour and baking powder.
Each one is kneaded into tiny marble shaped balls.
It is a deep fried snack found in food stalls,
and an awesome dessert after meals.
Snow Flake Ice
It tastes as amazing as it sounds!!
Snow Flake Ice is made from a huge ice cube
by a special machine.
It looks like layers and layers of snow,
and tastes like snowflakes.
It is a unique version of ice cream topped with milk,
peanuts, sweets, prunes, candies, and others more.
It is usually stacked up to more than 3 inches on a
plate.
So, how do you think of our special
“ Night Market Culture” ?
It’s a great pleasure for us
to introduce more about Taiwan to you.
Hope you enjoy it.
And we sincerely welcome all of you to visit
Taiwan.
Thank you for your time.
