Nice! You're in Taiwan! :)
ReplyDeleteI was in Taiwan earlier this year too, ate at a lot of interesting places including a bubble milk tea hot pot place! They also have milk/cream hot pots, it sounds funny but it tastes wonderful.
I was there in 2014. :) Yes, I have read your posts about Taiwan and you have been to places there that I have never been to.
DeleteI think I will go for the pickled mustard green and the stir fried green.
ReplyDeletegreens are good for fiber. :)
DeleteBest to go some place where one has friends to bring to such delightful nook and cranny that locals frequent, not the tourist traps.
ReplyDeleteThere was a Taiwanese restaurant in Singapore, Orchard Road, in the 70's and the attraction there was the Taiwanese sweet potato porridge - my (late) grandpa who took me there said the poor farmers added the tuber to the porridge as rice was too expensive for them. These days, sweet potatoes are worth their weight in gold. I wonder if they have that in Taiwan, very nice!
Yes, I have eaten sweet potatoes porridge in Taiwan before. They call sweet potatoes di gua meaning ground melon.
DeleteThe pork knuckle looks a bit white and clear.. Looks like those "chu zhang" used to boil soup, then scoop it out and cut into chunks..
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how they cook this.
DeleteYou have Taiwanese friends there? How nice, great to have local friends around, certainly they will take you to those places where tourists won't go, hehe!
ReplyDeleteTrue, true. :)
DeleteI was wondering why you would avoid that pork knuckle until I realised it was not roasted till crispy. Ha ha... I also avoid that fatty white colours meat. This is China style of preparation.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a business associate who would bring us to all the best local eateries but I never liked his taste and choice of all types of blood and spare parts. I found many nicer places on my own.
Wow, you are smart to find nicer places on your own. :)
DeleteThe stir fried greens look really good! :)
ReplyDeleteyes! :)
DeleteHmmm....since the pork knuckle is the highlight, you didn't even try? It doesn't look that appetising but I am sure it must have tasted better than its looks.
ReplyDeleteI don't dare to try. Let those who enjoy eating them have more pieces, hehehe.
DeleteI don't really like pork knuckle
ReplyDeleteMe neither.
DeleteBut I don't mind the pickled mustard greens
ReplyDeleteShould be sourish.
DeleteFrom the looks, I don't think I'll enjoy the stinky tofu and pork knuckle, so I won't even try. The greens I'll gladly have.
ReplyDeleteGreens for you then. :)
DeleteThe pork knuckles look very pale so I am guessing that it is just boiled plain? Though I love pork knuckles, this one does not look too appetizing.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how it is cooked but I guess you would be game to try at least one piece.
DeleteWhite white one... I'm not used to not seeing pork knuckles in dark dark gravy...
ReplyDeleteAlso I can see why this place is local. In touristy places, they will probably dress the stinky tofu up nicely to serve...
Hahaha, how would you dress them up then to serve tourists?
DeleteI like the porkie... will gnaw on it.. if given enough time.. hahahaa..
ReplyDeleteGood, good, finally someone who is game to try the pork knuckles. :)
DeleteI dislike sourish, strong smell and preserved food. I guess these dishes wouldn't suit my palate. I tink I will only eat the green stir fry.
ReplyDeleteSo you don't like century egg?
DeleteHeh so this one pass for you. Not my cup of tea either.
ReplyDeleteHeh!
