My Favorite Taiwanese Food

By Gilberto Alfonso Parada Giron

 

 

       Six weeks ago it began a new history, a new opportunity, a new life, surrounded with new things, new friends, and new places to know. My new life started in National Chengchi University located in Taipei, with a lot of students of many parts of the world. One of the most important things: Food. To be honest, before to come here, I felt afraid about it. I watched many documental of Taiwan and it’s curious to know how the Taiwanese prepare the food. To compare with my country, El Salvador, everything is different hear, including culture, language, people, and too many things.

     Nevertheless, I surprised for the variety of meals in Taiwan, “Tang Bao 湯包” is one of my favorites dishes, that is like steamed dumplings filled with minced meat, it's great, I like to eat it at lunch, there's a lot of restaurants near to NCCU, and I can choose to many options, the cost per meal is cheap, taste is good, everything is clean and tidy.

     I know that I have to keep me in good shape, well, health concern. I have to take more vegetables, fruits, milk, and water for the necessary vitamins. Exercise, of course, I started to go to the gym. Here in NCCU, one week ago, I hope I always do. I start to walk as much as I can, because I love to walk and eat!!!

     During my life I’ve had the opportunity to try different kinds of food, like Mexican food, Central American food, Arabic Food, etc. But to be honest the Taiwanese food has been one of the best that I tried, because is very natural, and is good for my health especially.

     Actually I don't know how I express my thanks to the ICDF very much. Because of this very opportunity to be here this time, I found people hear are generous, honestly, sincere, friendly. All of them are nice and I appreciate everything what they done for me and my partners.
