Taiwan Food Map

Local Delicaciesin Taiwan??????
3
Tamsui Iron Eggs ????
  • Iron eggs accidentally came into being when the
    creator Yang A-po forgot to turn off the stove.
    The chicken eggs shrank to almost half the size
    and felt hard. However, it would be a waste of
    money to throw them away, so she still sold them
    to the customers. Surprisingly, many customers
    enjoyed the taste and asked for more. The iron
    eggs have thus become famous.

Tamsui Iron Eggs ????
  • Iron eggs are not made of iron. The name of
    iron egg comes from its texture. Today, they
    are actually quail or chicken eggs that are
    braised with spices for a long time and then air
    dried. They look dark brown, but taste chewy and
    yummy.

5
Hsinchu Rice Noodle ????
  • Many Hakka immigrants from Fujian Province of
    China settled down in Hsinchu and brought along
    their methods of making rice noodles. Located
    next to a river and open to the northeast
    monsoon, Hsinchu is called the Wind City. It
    is, however, this windy weather that makes it the
    best environment for drying rice noodles.

During the autumn and winter, the best rice
noodles are made because there is 30 sunshine
and 70 dry wind.
6
Taichung Suncake ?????
  • It is hard to trace the origin of this popular
    dessert now. There are three popular legends
    about it, though. One has it that suncakes were
    served as an offering for a monster dog(??),
    which was believed to devour the sun, so that it
    would be too full to eat the sun. In another, an
    apprentice of a famous baker made a pastry, using
    malt sugar as the filling, to woo his masters
    daughter and won her heart at the end. In the
    other legend, since a suncake was round in shape
    with a red store signet on it, it was thus named
    suncake.

Taichung Suncake ?????
  • The ingredients of a suncake, including flour,
    sugar, malt sugar, salt, and shortening, are easy
    to prepare. Yet what makes it delicious is in
    the way of how a skilled baker makes the
    multi-layer pastry, which could be of 100 layers!
  • Suncakes can be eaten alone
  • or enjoyed after being dipped in milk,
  • soybean milk, or even coffee. There
  • is no accounting for taste!

8
Changhua Rou-yuan ????
  • Rou-yuan are round or triangular meatballs made
    by using pork, bamboo shoots, and Chinese
    mushrooms as stuffing inside a dough, which is
    generally made by sweet potato starch. They are
    served either fried or steamed.
  • It is said that a scholar in Beitou Town,
    Changhua County, cooked the dried, ground sweet
    potatoes to feed the victims of a severe flood.
    Later, people filled chopped pork, bamboo shoots
    and other ingredients into the dough, making it
    the Rou-yuan were familiar with today.

9
Chiayi Chicken Rice ?????
  • Although most people call it chicken rice, in
    fact, it is often made of turkey meat. 50 years
    ago, when most people were poor and chicken was
    considered a luxury, it suddenly occurred to the
    creator, who sold baised pork rice for a living,
    that it could be a hit if he replaced pork with
    turkey, which tasted like chicken but was a lot
    cheaper. Since then, the chicken rice has
    become a hit all over Taiwan.

10
Tainan Coffin Bread ?????
  • Decades ago, Coffin Bread was created
    accidentally by Mr. Hsu Liu-i (???)when he
    stuffed chicken liver and other ingredients into
    a thick crunchy golden piece of fried toast. The
    hollowed toast looked just like a coffin, which
    was how Coffin Bread got its name.
  • Nowadays, we can enjoy many kinds of stuffing,
    from sweet to spicy, in coffin bread.

11
I-lan Ox Tongue-Shaped Cookie?????
  • In the old days, when a baby was four months
    old, the parents would follow ancient ritual,
    having cookies punched, and hanging them on
    his/her neck. The coming guests would be given
    those cookies to wish good health and wisdom for
    the baby.

12
I-lan Ox Tongue-Shaped Cookie?????
  • The crispy cookie got its name because it
    resembles the shape of an oxs tongue. Today, ox
    tongue-shaped cookies have become a local snack,
    especially in I-lan County. Thin, narrow, flat,
    almost see-through, they come in different
    flavors, including brown sugar, taro, yam, honey,
    peanut, and even black pepper.

13
Hualian Sticky Rice Cakes/Mochi????
  • The chewy sticky rice cakes, or Dulun(??) in
    Amis, used to be a precious snack made by Amis
    wives, and only served to their hard-working
    husbands in celebrations of festivals. Now, they
    are enjoyed everywhere. The cakes are made of
    millets, which are best grown in Hualian County,
    where the soil is unpolluted, water clean, and
    rainfall rich.
