Fruit Stall, Snake Alley Night Market, Taipei
April 13, 2007
Now I must admit to having a bit of a sweet-tooth, but no sugary confections for me. Give me bitter dark chocolate or rhubarb crumble and custard and I’m happy. I was offered a sweet snack made with rice balls, red berries, a warm brown liquid and ice cubes by a friend of mine and I can honestly say that if she told me it was a savoury snack I would have believed her. On our travels to Lugang, the safest bet for food was at a bakery food stall. I picked out what looked like a sesame-seed covered doughnut and was relieved to find that it contained a ginger-based mixture in the middle. Once again, I couldn’t tell if it was sweet or savoury, but suspect that to the Taiwanese palate it would have been considered a sweet.
Perhaps that’s why you see no obese people in Taiwan.

I would totally go for a huge jug of fruitstand juice. My wife and my mom would tell me all these horrible stories about people getting intestinal worms after drinking from nightmarket fruitstands, or getting poisoned from juices mixed with dye… aww. I’ve been lucky so far. Now, the middle part reads “Avocado with Milk”… I don’t know about that.
