Snacks in Taiwan. (2) In last post I already introduced few snacks, like Brown rice pudding, stink Tofu and thousand years egg, and now I’m going to talk about some other famous snacks in here. 1. Bubble tea/ Tapioca(ball) tea I tried this in States few times, pity, I think even from China town, it can be better, either the bubble is too hard, or the milk tea taste odd, and it’s more expensive than here. Actually, except bubble, we add verity of things into drinks, no matter tea or milk tea, even smoothie, I will say if you are here then just go ahead and try, usually these drinks cost $25~50 NTD, like under $2USD, compare to the price abroad, I think it’s pretty ok, if you don’t know what’s bubble tea, it usually means Tapioca(ball) with milk tea, I personally like non sugar one, but as I know most people prefer to drink it with sugar. 2. Oyster omelet In Taiwan it’s easy to find sea food in the restaurant, and the price is acceptable. oyster omelet is combine with eggs, veg and oyster, a liquid made from tapioca flour and water, although it’s easy to bump into stalls are selling this, but I admit sometimes you may get some bad taste one, it really depends…well, I am just thinking, everything deserve second chance, if you happen to visit some country and find out something famous there is horrible, hey, find another store and try again, ,maybe you will love it! : ) 3. Shaved ice Imagine it’s summer, you are in somewhere of Taiwan, and the weather is hot, you are sweaty and thirsty, this is the thing you will happy to have, try to remember the Chinese name of it: 剉冰. Shaved ice is popular snack in summer, because it’s made from ice cube, if you find a shaved ice store, you can see how they make it directly: put a huge ice cube in a special machine, which will turn it into some small ice pieces, usually you can choose six kinds of material to eat with ice, so they will put them under a bunch of ice pieces, and pour some syrup on it. One thing you might notice when you are ordering it, in here we eat beans in sweet way, so you might see cooked adzuki bean or green bean, try them with ice, it’s actually good.
