Tainan is known for its xiao chi, so we spent an entire day eating our way around town, with some sightseeing in between. I can eat, but Taiwanese people really pack it away; us "Americans kids" were dying by the end of the day while the adults were still wanting more.
 |
| The original Tainan Du Xiao Yue |
 |
| Making the danzi mian ("peddler noodles") right at the entrance of the restaurant |
 |
| Danzi mian: noodles, minced pork, pork ball, shrimp, garlic paste, one of my favorite comfort foods |
 |
| Incredibly creamy braised eggs |
 |
| Taiwanese sausage (slightly sweet) with garlic paste |
 |
| Next stop: Tainan's famous eel noodles |
 |
| Just an open air stand / restaurant like lots of places in Taiwan |
 |
| All sorts of internal organs |
 |
| Bag o' eel, bloody delicious |
 |
| Chopping the eel |
 |
| Like 1 billion BTU stove |
 |
| Eel noodles. The eel is actually quite crunchy, not like unagi. The noodles are slightly sweet and spicy |
 |
| Salty popsicles |
 |
| Egg yolk and almond salty popsicle |
 |
| J's favorite: papaya milk smoothies. I had Tainan's famous winter melon tea. |
