That's the one thing I remember from Taiwan that I haven't found here. I also miss the Rice Milk (like Soy Milk, but grey/blackish) and sticky rice balls w/ mapo tofu + fried donut stick + meat floss inside. Haven't found a good one here in Toronto, they all make the sticky rice balls really cheaply. =/<br />When do we get to see the Korea pics?

I say Taiwan is pretty good in that area, everything is really clean, even at the nightmarket. I'm glad that you are not gross out by idea of pig blood cake, most people just shy away after hearing the name. I would go back to Taiwan any day, their type of food just suits my taste buds! heheheheJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625997452766560904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818843969273591712.post-79708335230830900422013-03-18T17:40:52.731-04:002013-03-18T17:40:52.731-04:00I've never had the pig blood popsicle, crepes,...I've never had the pig blood popsicle, crepes, or green bean soup before! goodness, now I have to start planning a trip to go back. =/ Never been to Jiufeng before -- I guess I'll have to make a trip there next time.<br />And I absolutely agree, I would much rather eat at night markets and small stalls, than go to a restaurant. Very impressed that your stomach was able to handle it -- kudos!Kenhttp://www.torontofoodies.comnoreply@blogger.com
