"Daxi is famous for Tofu," that was what we were told by the locals when we reached the old town, "don't you know?" Sheepishly we smiled at our own ignorance. We are not the kind to search for every single food, to track down the most obscure yet highly recommended food on blogs or variety shows. So bear with me, while I show how limited food we tried :P
It was quite an eye opener to see so many different type of bean curds.
When we first saw these, I asked the shop owner if these were pig
internals which Taiwanese are so fond of.
Look at the variety of Tofu!!!
You know they love their Tofu as much as we loved our instant noodles, when you see tofu stations in 7-11... Yes... 7-11 has Tofu station, sweet potato and hotdogs station too!!!
Still in 7-11, check out the price of beers!!!
Walking out, this little van was seen on the streets of Taoyuan, serving typical breakfast of egg pancakes, onion pancakes and burgers.
In the night market in Danshui, Shilin and many others, we found lots of snacks, which typically ended up as our dinner due to the huge portion and the variety offered.
Deep fried baby crabs!!! Taiwanese love to deep fry their snacks, one which is recommended is deep fried king mushrooms in Sun Moon Lake.. we bought it twice, once upon arrival and another upon departure from the lake.
Look at these work of art.. wow!!! I wouldn't have eaten them if I were to buy these..
