Food discovery In TAIWAN!

     Hey there everyone!! Have you ever been to Taiwan, a small yet vibrant place? I have been to there twice, once for the exchange programme and once for my graduation trip. It was a marvellous expereience, having tried different tasty food and shopping around. I bet you could hardly resist the tempatation of the food there!
  
    Being the "victim" of the delicious food, I want to recommend some small eats to you! Do have a try on them!:))

   Pepper cakes (胡椒餅)

<--go find this in Raohe night market!

   The must-have at Rao He night market, the pepper cake is a crispy pocket filled with juicy pork that is infused with the aromatic bite of black pepper. Baked on the wall of a clay oven, the pies are a delicious ode to the pepper plant.
 
   Make sure you get more than one, or risk the overwhelming sense of regret when you have to wait again in the long queue for more!!:P

Oyster vermicelli (蚵仔米線)

   
       A bowl of great oyster vermicelli should have a thick, flavorful soup base while the thin rice noodles and oysters should still retain their distinct texture.
      
        Some people will add chopped intestines for a funky dimension to the soup.
It is a gooey, slurpable dish, more soup than noodle, with an intense briny taste.


Shaved ice mountain (刨冰山)

<--臺一牛奶大王

     One good thing about the hot, humid and stormy summers in Taiwan is the excuse to eat shaved ice mountain.

     An oversized pile of shaved ice is heaped with fresh fruit and flavorings, such as mango pieces, juice and sweet condensed milk. It wins hands down just by looks alone. It is definitely a wise choice to eat during summer! A must-eat dessert!! >3< Although you may see some other places like Hong Kong are selling similar food, those you eat in Taiwan is totally different!

     I must admit that I am a food lover but without luscious food, it is not counted as a trip to other country isn't it? :P
