My Favorite Taiwanese Food

By Wilder Noel Jimenez Arevalo
 

 

     Before left Guatemala, I ask my self to me: What can it be so different betwen Taiwanese flavors to the Guatemalans flavors? and sincerely these are better than I imagined, in these four weeks that I've lived in Taiwan I have tried some Taiwanese typical meals and drinks, and although if it is certain that the flavors are not so equal to the flavors that i used to eat in my home country, I already like these flavors. Even that already I have had some surprises, for example a few days ago i went to have lunch to a restaurant near KSU wich has a name that i cannot read but we've called it “Chino Rico” , i saw in the menu a dish that looked like one of my favorite food in Guatemala, i thought that it was salty but it wasn't, it was a sweet one, and and cold one too, and then... a thought came to my head: as foreign “I must to have open mind” but i was so hungry, i order another one (rice with chicken), “ji rou fan” and even although is not a Taiwanese typical food.

     It has without a doubt the real Taiwanese touch and it is now one of the dish that i use to eat, accompanied by black tea wich in time it became my favorite drink, and i also tried some meals that i never has have eaten like the tea leaves, that i tried when we went to visit the museum of tea.

      If it had to describe my favorite Taiwanese food, it migth be: “ji rou fan” accompanied with tea leaves and a little bit garlic sauce and “hongcha” for drink ..... ahh!! without forgetting that the correct form to eat it is with chopsticks.
