Hi ho! Anonymous Food Tripper here. Walking you thru my Taiwan adventure. This is still in the Shin Lin night market walking street. I saw a lot of people lining up at this store and before you can say "I'm a foodie usyusero" I was lined up yet again.

I stared at the place, marveling at the variety of food items they were selling.

Upon closer scrutiny. I realized that they were selling different barbecue products. They all seemed alien to me. Wierd yet wonderful. Again my problem was , I didn't know what to order.

So I looked for the most cosmopolitan looking taiwanese around and started talking to him in english. Actually I found out, a lot of taiwanese people really speak english. I guess that's also why they are very successful as a country . It's because they're flexible. ( English is really an advantage! We Filipinos should realize that!)

But I digress....Anyhoo, I talked to this young local and asked him what I should order. He asked me, "where are you from?" and I told him "The Philippines!! You should visit us there. We have the best beaches in the world! ". And then told me that the most popular were the duck necks and the duck tongue! Yup you heard right , Duck Tongue!

So I ordered that and tried it. Ok naman sya. The barbecue sauce was a kind of spicy sweet marinate. The duck tongue didn't really taste awesome, but it was different. It had a texture much like the cartilage of a chicken leg. And you don't just eat the tongue because its too small. It's connected to the esophagus as well. Next time I eat there Ill try to get a picture to show you . It was nice and different.

While lining up and making chikka my new found Taiwanese friend who was kind enough to order for me as well, I asked him what other places are popular and people really like. He told me: Aaah you should go to Ay Chung! Flour rice noodles!

My next adventure was set.
