Taiwan: Part 4

We started another day in Taiwan with a visit to the Chiang Kai Shek memorial. No food, but still very worth sharing!


Afterwards, we headed over to a restaurant that serves modernized Taiwanese classics and I have to say, I was very impressed. It really does a great job elevating those traditional Taiwanese dishes, while still keeping those classic flavors. We got so many dishes: noodles with meat sauce, rice with meat sauce, fried tofu with chives, grilled milk fish, and fried baby oysters. Simply a wonderful meal.



Later that night, we enjoyed a homemade meal of hot pot, which is one of my favorite things of all time. Hot pot is exactly that; it's a hot pot with a delicious broth where we throw vegetables, meats, and all sorts of treats. Everyone picks from the hot pot so make sure you claim a good spot close to the pot, otherwise, you'll be out of luck! And make sure you prepare a great bowl of sauce. Use lots of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chives, and hot pot sauce, and you're set!
