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.
