It wasn't an unusual phrase to hear about the delicious local delicacies of Taiwan.
Hundred of small eateries can be found everywhere and it's the same at Jiu Fen as well! Moreover, I have been understood that every tourist spot at Taiwan say, Xi Men Ding (西门町), Feng Jia (逢甲)or even Dan Sui (淡水), there's local specialties can be found at each destination!
As promised in previous Jiu Fen's entry (here), the post of this entry will be all about the FOOD that can be found at Jiu Fen. :)

- Main entrance to the antique street of Jiu Fen -
So now, snaps shots of local delicacies there.
- The dry squid -
- Smelly Tauhu -
Some of them say Taiwan version of smelly tauhu taste good, although smells awful. As for me, I didn't tried Taiwanese smelly tauhu. However, the one I tried at Hong Kong was NICE!
- Outlets of various local delicacies -
- Huge Winter Melon -
- Our lunch at Jiu Fen -
- Meatballs made of squid, charcoal and others and 金枝红糟肉圆 -
- My snacks - GRILLED MUSHROOMS!! -
- Taiwan must have pearl milk tea -
- Fish Balls -
- Sweet Potatoes Balls -
Overall, Taiwanese delicacies are interesting, although I didn't fancy much with their oil fried food. No matter what, I did tried a few and shared among few of us. :)
Jiu Fen antique street is really beautiful place to visit, the scenery and the foods are great, so much to choose and I'm sure all of us will gain weight if we can't resist the temptation of their food! I just love the place quite a lot.
So... anyone drooled with the food above? LOL
Have a great day everyone. :)
Aiyak....early morning drooling now...all looks great except the smelly tauhu
