Taipei food-chapter one

The amount of months I stay in the city now is more than ten fingers could count.

What do folks lean on life while living in this constantly changing city?

I, as a Taiwanese, who already tasted thousands of plates, would like to introduce some of my food-chasing experience.

A.     the Fresh Soybean Milk

It was a super sunny Thursday. And the place I’m heading to is quite famous for “Old Taipei People.” It’s called the Fresh Soybean Milk-(Shin Shian Dou Jiang Dien)

The most special food is their soy bean milk and the fried sticks.

The burned smelling of the milk is really strong. I’ll say it’s because of their traditional method of producing the soybean milk.

The milk is about 20NT dollar, about 0.6USD.-quite common price in cities.
It's at nomber 160 of Aikuo E. Rd., Sec 1. (愛國東路一段160號)

B.     between club7 and roxy99

Most of people who live near Shida might notice that there’s a seven-eleven ALWAYS full of foreigner. People called it “Club 7”

It’s kind of an attractive culture that foreigners like to hang out there for some really cheap Taiwan beer. Since some countries have law to forbid drinking on streets and beaches, it’s very casual for them to drink in Taiwan.

But the thing I’m talking about is the breakfast store next to the convent store.

They start from midnight to noon. It always feed us when we are hungrily left from the bars.

My personal favorite is their shao long bao and salty soybean milk.

The shao long bao in Taiwan is sort of the must eat food. When it comes out with hot air, you use chopsticks (or whatever you want) to take it with some soybean sauce, vinegar, and some ginger. Hmmm… at the moment, the shao long bao totally comfort your both soul and stomach.

I used to put some spicy oil in my salty soybean milk.

It looked like tofu soup, but tasted more delicious. The fried sticks inside are the drier the better for me. It’s really lay back for people who can stay there have a bowl of it with newspaper, and normally, lots of elder Taiwanese do that.(not thing really can do, so they have plenty of time on appreciating food, haha)

Oh, and they do offer English menu for foreign guests, it’s quite interesting to read the food names in English.lol
