TaiChung (Central Taiwan)



View from our hotel room the city of taichung. Jake's description - it's old.

This is the main train station- we just live in the hotel behind the train station, so it was very convenient, location wise.

We had some time to kill before taking the train to Tainan. So to market we go.

Have you ever seen fresh wooden ears, they are reddish brown instead of the usual black. Maybe different species?

Fish floss is pretty popular there.  We didn't try as the packaging was huge.
 

Taiwan is famous for its 油飯 (glutinous oil rice). This stall had couple versions. We tried two. One was ginger based and one was eaten when a baby turns full moon ie. you gave away the oil rice to people when baby turns 1 month old.

If my memory serves me correctly, the rice were NT$40 per half catty (about 300g)
