Food Yilan Taiwan


Need to get some souvenirs? How about some biscuits? Well, let us go to the biscuit shop, so it is flooded with all types of biscuit. They do have some offers running to get you to buy more, example buy one packed of biscuit at NTD40, buy 3 packets at NTD 100, that would make each packet cost NTD33.33, cheaper by NTD6.66. I bought a couple of packets. One of it was written, thinnest cookie. Yes it is thin enough for me.


    
After getting some yummy biscuits, the sun has retreated itself, so it is dinner time. This restaurant claimed they use the traditional cooking method. So check out one of their kitchen, look at those huge grey stove which reminds me of the tandoori clay oven but the problem is the color makes it does not look like it is made of clay. The one I saw usually was orange in color, but this was grey. Wonder what this stove is made of.




Just before entering the restaurant, they displayed some of their vegetables. Can’t name you everything there because I have no idea what are them myself. But I could name you some, let us start from bottom left, there are two types of green chilies or peppers. Then followed by enoki mushroom (some call it gold needle mushroom) because its bright white and thin, next to it looks like some seaweed. Right on top, the brown cone shape are bamboo shoots. Then next on the white tofu are the tiny red dots, we call it goji berry, same with the ones on the green spade leaves. Right on top of the tofu, that bunch of green look alike artichokes, right next to it are my favourite asparagus! Far right at the bottom would be, vegetables ladies finger aka okr, fresh lily bulb, tiny bitter gourd. The rest in the metal container? I have no clue.


  
Dinner is served, roast chicken, leeks with dried black mushroom and dried prawns and a plate of fresh mushroom with some paste. Let’s dig in!



 Feeling some mouth itch? We can chew on some marinated goose feet or they call it goose web. Chicken feet, chicken wings or just choose anything from the counter.
