Light batter and super tender and large tentacles. Not forgetting the oven roasted pork belly bun....super fragrant and sinful.

I agree certain areas are pretty touristy, but it's easy to ignore those and focus on the local details. I did try the "Ah Ge" and iron eggs. Pity not enough time to bike around leisurely!Camemberuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-7016842175110350812012-04-09T22:35:33.770+08:002012-04-09T22:35:33.770+08:00Thanks, Lisa!Thanks, Lisa!Camemberuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-4061876890307317192012-04-09T22:34:53.133+08:002012-04-09T22:34:53.133+08:00OK.OK.Camemberuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-25556456108485666722012-04-09T22:34:34.676+08:002012-04-09T22:34:34.676+08:00Ohh, you visited Tamkang U?

Certain areas seem a little on the touristy side (nowhere near as bad as Shihlin Night Market, or Venice Italy for that matter), but if you navigate certain ways you can still get a worthwhile local experience you can personalize. The shark meat fishballs with minced pork inside (Fuzhou style fishball soup) are a local specialty, and of course "Ah Gei" (which is somewhat of a derivation of the Japanese word age/ah gei, like agedashi tofu), as well as simmered soy sauce (and herbs) quail and chicken eggs (tieh daan/iron eggs). One possibly fun thing to do is to walk over the bridge to Ba Li, perhaps rent a bicycle and soak in the scenery. There may be some hot spring indoor spa type relaxation places too. Anyways hope you are having a great time there.Beef No Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255895629727111344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-50318714676228472852012-04-09T20:04:45.407+08:002012-04-09T20:04:45.407+08:00Love your blog.

Our hosts brought us to some backstreet down the hill for my first experience with that fermented tofu. Thanks for the fond memories (of my youth and the people I met ;D).

Still lots of places there I didn't see. But if I do go back to Taiwan, I'd be sure to schedule more time in Danshui. We also bought a lot of things there!Camemberuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-78212595146416958842012-04-08T13:06:26.933+08:002012-04-08T13:06:26.933+08:00That's an absolutely gorgeous place in Taiwan ...That's an absolutely gorgeous place in Taiwan to visit, it's one of my dream destinations to visit before I die.<br /><br />Did you manage to take a walk through the nearby mangrove conservation area?
