I accidentally heard this Taiwanese song "Come to Tainan" while watching an art exhibition. At first, I was attracted by its peculiar genre, and only after reading the lyrics did I realize that the lyrics of this song wrote about the food and historical sites in Tainan. Under the “instigation” of friends from Tainan, I resolutely set foot on the train going south. Revealed the mystery of the ancient taste of Tainan.
Tainan’s old taste feels very solid and grounded. I used to wonder why Tainan is different from most of the delicacies lurking in the night market. It is served from morning to night. Later, I found the answer in the mouth of the sister I met in the youth hostel. Most people in northern Taiwan sit in the office, so they eat a small sandwich for breakfast. Brunch is exquisite and simple, and the nightlife after get off work is rich; people in central and southern Taiwan mostly do physical work. Son, in order to be full of vitality every day, their food for the day is rich in carbohydrates and sugars.
is about to "drill the alleys" in Tainan. The scent of food wafts from the faint alleys. As soon as I entered, I found that there was a cave. I came out after a good meal. Looking back, I found that the shop has long been hidden in the clothes shop. I couldn’t help but laugh. The existence of these clothes shops is irrelevant. They exist as a cover for those gourmet shops, just like opening the door of sesame seeds. You have to say a spell, and ah, sincerely. spirit.

It is of the same type as the outside and the inside is tender. However, the store sells them according to the softness and hardness of the internal ingredients according to customer needs. At the same time, the thickening and fluffy are out of the starch-rich roots and stems, instead of the powder tightly sticking to the ingredients like other stores, which not only reduces the calories of the food, makes the taste better, but the taste is relatively ordinary .

One day later, in Tai Po, it was very hot and thirsty. Drinking from the stream, the surface of the water became frozen. I drank it and refreshed my heart and spleen. I wonder if there is any ice in the heat here. Looking closely at the water, the trees are scattered and there is pulp when rubbed, so as to materialize it. Pick it up and go home, wash it with water, and instantly freeze it, and with sugar, the flavor is excellent, or with a little catechu, the color is like agate. A certain woman called Aiyu, 15 years old, Chu Chu was pleasant, and she had nothing to do for a long time, and she would sell it with coldness. The drinker would like it and call it Aiyudong.
