Taipei Street Food 2

BBQ on coal in the open air, in a cold weather. Great isn’t it? Prawn, Chicken Meat, Enokitake Mushroom. These mushrooms are cultivars of Flammulina velutipes, also known by the name, "golden needle mushroom" (‘Kam Cham Ku’ in Cantonese). The meats are all marinated with some sauce. What is the flat white rectangle on the rack? Looks like piece of meat or sugar cane? It’s a type of mushroom, its abit tough, taste a bit sweet, not too bad. You will be given a thong to BBQ your food. Some special mix sauce to dip your BBQ-ed food (I have no idea what sauce it was but it taste good). Well as you know having BBQ is really dry, especially the stove is now right infront of your face.

Here is another shop for "Mee Suah"/Min Sin, a type of Vermicelli with oyster, this places gives super big oyster. Next is their famous sausage stick whereby it comes with a 2 cloves of raw garlic. You would ask, what is the unpeeled garlic for? This is how you do it. 1. Peel up the garlic. 2. Take your first bite on the sausage. 3. Take your second small bite on the raw garlic. 4. Chew them together and down you go. 5. Take your third bite on the sausage. 6. Take your forth small bite on the raw garlic, there you go…. It really taste good! The sausage skin was dry but was still juicy inside, together with the raw garlic, just makes you feel its such a nice flavor. I love it. It’s a must have for me if I am in Taiwan.

After having all the different types of food and if you still miss your local dessert. Not to worry. They have it too, maybe not the same brand in your home country, but its good enough. Its DONUTS!!! They have “Mister Donut” else you could choose “Dunkin Donut” (was at a train station). You won’t have home sick.
