Oysters and Stinky Tofu

It's been over 8 years since I have been back to Taiwan and in those 8 years I have been craving for Taiwan's great street food. My favorite dish is the "Stinky Tofu". You can smell a Stinky Tofu stand before you see it. As the name suggests, it really stinks. The smell is comparable to rotten trash but the taste is sour and savory.

The best kind of Stinky Tofu comes deep fried with fermented cabbage on top. I like mine extra sour with a tiny bit of hot sauce.

Taiwan is also known for it's oyster dishes. This is a typical oyster "pancake". The first layer is made of sweet potato flour than topped with vegetables, fried egg, oysters, and a sweet sauce.

And the best part about food in Taiwan is that you can easily get a whole meal for less than US$3. A bowl of noodles with fresh oysters or beef can cost as little as US$1.50.
