I enjoy eating fried rice with chicken (雞肉炒飯); wonton with noodles (餛飩麵); tofu with wood ear mushrooms (黑木耳燜豆腐); hot and sour soup (酸辣湯); diced pork with soy sauce (醬爆肉丁); duck with rice (鴨肉飯); fish stir-fried with peanuts and pickled vegetables(小魚花生); and the famous fried tofu or “stinky tofu” (臭豆腐), is a great opportunity to taste a variety of dishes.
Sometimes, even I wish there could be more widely available Taiwanese dish specialties, that until now I just can find in night-markets, cooked in my friend’s house during special occasions, or ritzier restaurants and hotels like the “black bond chicken soup” (烏骨雞湯).
It is hard to tell which one is my favorite Taiwanese food. I always find myself eating and enjoying what is served on my table. Perhaps, more than once, I have had some uneasy conversations with my foreign classmates and acquaintance when they discussed what food they prefer. I simply say: “I like all”.
Certainly, for refreshments and beverages, I do have some preferences; I like to drink green tea (綠茶), oolong tea (烏龍茶), milk tea with tapioca balls (珍珠奶茶), pearl barley tear with milk (薏仁牛奶), and mixed of fresh fruits (綜合果汁).
I think some of my most memorable moments, so far, in Taiwan have been when I have gone out to eat with my Taiwanese friends. They know what food to order, and they certainly enjoy having a good conversation while eating.
I am also proud to say that in Taiwan I learned to use the Chinese chopsticks very well, that now, during my daily eating, I used them naturally.
Thank you Taiwan for such a wonderful cuisine experiences.

There is lot to eat in Taiwan. Since I arrived to this beautiful country, in August 2008, I am always considering how to manage my overweight. Frankly, I do not have any problem eating Taiwanese cuisine.
