As I was driving to work today, heard on the news, that the listing from CNN of the 50 top food of the world, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia were all listed... yet Taiwan wasn't. The reporter speculated that it may be possible that Taiwan isn't introducing and promoting its great variety of delicacies as much as the other listed nations are.
Personally, I believe Taiwan has the best food!
Crispy Salt-Pepper Chicken
Rice Cake w/ Peanut Sprinkles
A-Chung String-Noodles
There are so many more...!!
Chicken Cutlet, Ma-Wan (Meatball), Oyster-Fry, Hsing-Tsu Rice Noodles... etc.
List goes on! Not a lot of people recognize Taiwan for their food because the variety is so much and so spread, there usually isn't ONE dish that defines Taiwan, that is probably the main problem. There is not ONE food that people go to Taiwan for, it's ALL of the food!
