Dr. Priya is ready to show fellow Indians why Taiwan is a food paradise! One of the best ways to understand the food culture of any city is to begin by visiting a traditional wet market. Some Indians in Taiwan may sometimes miss the bold flavors of Indian cooking, but Taiwanese cuisine also uses a wide variety of star anise, ginger, bay leaves, and even Szechuan peppers. Don’t forget the large number of leafy greens stir fried to retain their crispy texture. They’re another important part of any Taiwanese meal. Does the taste and appearance of Taiwanese cuisine suit the Indian palette? If you know how to ask and choose how to order, then you’re sure to enjoy a diverse culinary experience. Let’s see what delicacies, Swati, a newcomer to Taiwan, will try on her trip around Taipei. Oh, and how exactly do the Taiwanese take their chai? Check out this video to find out more!
