Snacks in Taiwan. As I know one of the most famous things in Taiwan is tons of snack in night market. So in this essay I will going to introduce few snacks in Taiwan, some of them might be attractive, some of them might be scary, but they are all part of the culture, if you happen to have a chance to visit here, don’t be afraid to give it a try! Let’s start it with so called scary one: 1. Brown rice pudding It has got variety of names, I think this one sounds better, but also I think it’s not that good---can anyone know what kind of food it is from the name? Ok, it’s actually a food made from pig’s blood and glutinous rice, it usually looks like a rectangle black cake, it’s a bit sticky when you eat, but if you can accept rice cake, it’s just similar thing but with pig’s blood, we usually eat it with thick soy sauce and peanuts powder, it taste better than it looks, I promise. ;-) 2. Stink Tofu I know lot of people afraid of it, but just put it in this way: in western there has blue cheese, me personally can accept it, but it’s not my favorite, so stink tofu is like blue cheese, no matter how horrible it smells like, it’s food, it’s eatable! ;-) So where is the smell from? You might ask, the process to make a stink tofu, is to put it into fermented liquid for a while, let it soak the liquid, and then cook it. We eat it in many ways: boiled one, fried one, grilled one…usually the last two are eat with some pickled vegi, boiled one can be with some duck’s blood and usually it’s spicy. Don’t worry, duck’s blood taste like pig’s blood, hey, even in steak you can find some blood there, so don’t be scared, besides, it’s all been cooked. ;-P 3. Thousand years egg Thousand years egg looks horrible. I mean, if I have never seen it before, and eat it decritly…hey, that’s the problem: we don’t eat it like that. These was a news on CNN talked about it, and invite people to have a bite, but sweetie, we usually eat it with tofu or congee, you can’t blame on it if you don’t know how to eat it in right way, right? :-P The way to produce it is even more simple, compared with the front two: to use some rice bran and mud and some medical thing to cover an duck’s egg, and wait for some time till it’s changed inside. Ok…I will call off here, in next easy I will introduce sth like bubble tea, oyster omelet and so on. ;-)
