yimay! i love this. now i want to go to taiwan. i got a book about street food around the world so i recognized some of your food.

I am so hungry and this all looks delicious.

Yimay, this food diary is the best! Have you narrowed it down yet to what actually got you sick? :)

Sadly, I ate a tunafish sandwich (out of one of these premade tuna pouches you buy at the grocery story) while I was reading this, but I would have really rather had some of that sashimi!

Yimay. I've seen your postings on SNF, but this is the first time I've made it to your site - what a treat! Now I have to hunt down some recipies for Xiao Long Bao, Si Zhi Tou and Jiao Yian Fei Tsang - they look so tasty.

ooh, i'll have to post my mom's recipe for Lion's Head Stew sometime soon!

Wonderful blog. A true inspiration to me here in Sao Paulo. Out of curiousity what digital do you use to take all of the wonderful photos. Unfortunetly my site is actually only in portuguese, but if you know some spanish you might be able to read it.

Keep eating

i use a nikon coolpix 2500. i would like better, but i've been happy with it for the most part. a few of the pics might be from my mom's camera. i'm not sure what model it is but it's one of the cheaper olympus digitals.

Oh, I miss Taiwan. Wah. I didn't take many food pics while I was there so this is great to show my husband. :) (He would have liked EVERYTHING there, I think, even the stuff I wouldn't touch.)

I did take tons of food pictures when we were in Japan on our honeymoon this winter, though, so I'm going to post my own food diary soon. :)

Yes. I would like to go to Taiwan one day and go on an eating spree like you.

this post is making me so homesick for taiwan! i miss the food so much.

great pictures.

Dear Yi,
I am planning to go to Taipei this Dec, what is the name of your dad'd favourite restaurant as I would love to visit there.
Pls advise.
Thanks!

i am from a place called Hong Kong, i am educated by chinese, i went to taiwan before and haven't eat those beautiful streety food
anyway, it's helps a lot in my project ! the project's topic is ''street food around the world'' and my part is asia, so, ur information is very useful for me, thank you !!! ^^

wow, yimay, that account of street food in taiwan really made my mouth water. and it made me miss street food in singapore where i grew up! i'm now in seattle and am all the same, grateful for what i have available here :) compared to a small town in georgia that i used to live in.

thanks for sharing!

hey! i think that i know what you got sick on. did you eat any other type of sashimi? if you did, i have a feeling that the sashimi was FRESH. fresh sashimi makes you sick!

my dad got sick by it in taiwan once too!

Haha! I actually found your link through 28mm.org!

Its almost 5 in the morning and I've never been more hungry, and have never missed Taipei so much! I'm originally Taiwanese and grew up overseas!

Sigh... I'll just have to go homw with an empty tummy! Loved this entry though :D

Cheers,
Susie

i miss so much taipei!! i wanna go back and eat everything i can!

hello! i am an hrm student in the philippines and i have this homework.. uhm.. my professor wants us to research about the national food in taiwan. Luckily, I coudn't find that out. If ever, would you email me or reply on this message, tnx.

I'm in Taiwan, and the food IS really awesome! Great coverage of all the different types of food you can get in Taipei! Oh and by the way, those green fruits are jujubes! They're sooo goood!

i ended up sick very much the same way as you. i was told i had a stomach virus and they made me eat some powder stuff for a couple days.
but when i go back i now what tasty food to look for.....i always found "american" breakfast there interesting.....

i enjoy your site very much, i am also from taiwan and miss the street food i grew up with so very much, i often travel between us, china but nothing compares with taiwan.

Great job chronicling your culinary adventure in Taiwan. I have lived here for over a year now, and your page is one of the most comprehensive introductions to the food here. I can tell you are very passionate about it.
