Imagine how much i LOVE these mushrooms that I guessed I ate at least 4 packs of it within our 4 days in Taipei. You may choose the assorted mushrooms or just the golden straw mushrooms which totally captivated my heart!
Ai Yu Ice
This is the famous Ai Yu at Shilin market. It tastes exactly like our Ice Jelly in Singapore, therefore, it is not exactly a "MUST-TRY".
Ice Kachang (The Taiwan Version)
See that BIG portion of ICE kachang there? In taiwan you get to choose the ingredients you want in your bowl of ice, unlike singapore where one bowl is standard. But anyway, Im not a kachang enthusiast, so this bowl of ice is only so-so too.
In Taiwan, it is common to see small cafes selling mixed-vegetables & rice in a buffet style. Each plate is charged by the weight of the food. I remember we had a similar cafe in Singapore back then. However, it has since closed down. Nevertheless, the lunchbox (shown above) is cute enough to make me want to ta bao some home. Taste wise, it is ok, acceptable.
Taiwan Vegetarian Stew
In Singapore, it is very seldom to see stalls (totally vegetarian) in the night markets. However, in Taiwan, they seem to be in almost all the night markets, which made me LOVE taiwan right away. One night, though super filled, mrs tibet and me still decided to try out the local lor mei. Great experience! Food wise... Normal~
阿妈的乌梅汤 (Plum Juice)
As we follow the guidebooks, it was said that when travelling to Danshui (淡水), the plum juice (Ah Ma's Brand) is a must try. Its the same kind that we have in Singapore. Nothing much though. However, if you are prone to gastric, you may give it a miss. I love the soury taste though.
Smelly Beancurd
This is one local snack which I Missed freaking a lot. It is not exactly smelly, and tastes PERFECT. I loved the grilled version. It also comes with vegetables. Remember to tell the stall owners that you want the vegetarian one. Judging by the fact that I ate a total of 20 pieces of Tau Kwa within 4 days has confirmed that My FAVOURITE Number 1 Taiwan snack is non other than the... SMELLY BEANCURD!
Dumpling
We chanced upon this stall in the Shilin Market while walking around and decided to try the 扣肉饭 and 水饺... im very impressed that vegetarian food is almost everywhere in Taiwan. Cheers!
Overall: Taiwan is a very Vegetarian-Friendly country which I would recommend to all vegetarian food enthusiasts to go!
hey u made me wanna fly to taiwna to try out the veggie food! hehe
ReplyDeletei love reading blogs on veggie food, pls keep it up!!
Wow, I really miss the assorted mushrooms there too. I think I am your match in having the mushrooms:P Can gobble down 2 packets at one go whenever I see stall selling.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a store at Bugis Village selling just golden straw mushrooms but not assorted mushrooms.
Why is it we cannot find it in Spore? Is it bec mushrooms more expensive in Spore :P ?
Pls advise me if you know of any stalls selling assorted mushrooms in Spore. Thanks.
