Lucy Lai
It
is hot in Kaohsiung’s summer day[W1] .
Everyone tries to find some ways and makes him/ her feel cool. In Kaohsiung, “Popoice”
is the first-choice ice cream shop.
Eighty years ago, Taiwan was still an agricultural society. Most people
had no money to buy snacks. They used to cook sweet red beans soup or sweet mung
beans soup as snacks. Popoice’s founder, Mrs. Tsai, got a recipe of making
sailing fruits and traditional snacks. After a while, the neighborhood knew
that Mrs.Tsai was good at making snacks, and they all loved to enjoy the
delicious snacks.
Shaven ice, fresh fruits, adds to some condensed milk and jam. Here is a
wonderful ice bowl. Besides shaven ices, Popoice has many kinds of ice snacks
like snow ice with fresh fruits, traditional eight treasures ice, red beans
with milk ice, etc. If customers want to taste some hot soup in cool weather,
Popoice’s famous sweet red beans soup will bring warm and comfortable

By
Lucy Lai
To west[W2]
friends, stinky tofu could be one horrible
Taiwanese food. In a Kaohsiung small lane[W3] ,
a vendor sells special stinky tofu. It attracts many customers to enjoy the small-eat[W4]
but forget the special scent.
Unlike traditional deep fried stinky tofu, the vendor first pan fried
stinky tofu. When the surfaces of tofu turn into golden brown, the vendor cuts
the tofu into pieces, and add egg sauce. He then puts it on a platter and add
some Taiwanese kimchi, some mayonnaise, and dark soy sauce. Here is the
tasty food.[W5]
Salty, sour, sweet taste plus half crisp half tender stinky tofu, with
stinky smell. This is an amazing and unforgettable experience. This hidden delicacy
is just in Kaohsiung.

Soy
Chicken
By
Sophie Jiang
Taiwanese people like to
go to night markets because they are convenient and the food is cheap. People
can eat lots of food with less money. There are lots of night markets in
Kaohsiung, such as Rueifong Night Market,
Jin-Zuan Night Market, Kaisyuan Night Market, Fongshan youth Night Market…etc.
In
Fongshan youth Night Market, the most impressive food is the Soy Chicken. When
the store opens, a lot of people wait in the line. Although people have to
wait, they will not wait too long. The owner already fries the chicken and puts
them in the box. There are 4 kinds of chicken which are chicken nugget; chicken
neck, chicken
skewers and deep fried chicken breast people can choice.
All of
them are delicious but the most famous one is the chicken nugget. The owner
uses the special soy to keep the chickens sweet. The chickens are put in the
oil and fried them with prefect[W6] time. It
is juicy
when eating the chickens[W7] .
They are not hard to bite so the elder people
also can eat that. The Soy Chicken is worth to eat. I believe people will
regret if they do not eat that.
Taro Rice Balls Ice
By Sophie Jiang
The taro rice balls ice is the most famous snack in Fengshan
youth Night Market. There are always a lot of people wait in line. Fortunately,
the customers will not wait too long. The efficiency is good to save the time.[W8]
The taro rice balls ice include sweet potato rice balls, green
bean rice balls, Hsian-tsao jelly, Japanese Matcha Tea Jelly and a lot of
beans. The
top of the taro rice balls ice
will add some cream to upgrade favor[W9] . The customers also can choice single unit. For example,
Hsian-tsao jelly with sweet potato rice balls or Japanese Matcha Tea Jelly with
beans. The bottom of the taro rice balls ice is brown sugar ice. It can make
the taste better.
It is a good choice to have a taro rice balls ice after the
meal. Girls always like to have some sweets after meal. I believe the taro rice
balls ice is the best choice. It can not only refresh your body but also
satisfy the desire which people want to eat snacks. It is worth eating.
Sweet Potato Balls
By Candy Lu
Have
you ever eaten Sweet Potato Balls in the night markets? Yeah, there are many
vendors who sell Sweet Potato Balls in the night markets. It is also called QQ
eggs. That is one of the Taiwanese’s favorite snacks when people go to the
night market. However, there is a kind of special food which is named “Yam
Cake” in Chichin district of Kaohsiung city. It is different from Sweet Potato
Balls.
“Yam
Cake” is a delicacy in Kaohsiung and only the local people know it!
We
made inquiries about Yam Cake from the people in Kaohsiung. It is really a
low-pitched delicacy for most of people from another place.
Sweet
Potato Balls is made of potato and flour; and Yam Cake is made of potato, flour
and syrup specially. The latter one taste tenderly chewy with sweet syrup. The
difference is the scent, saccharinity, firm texture. Yam Cake is very al dente
(which means ?). It is the most perfect chewy snacks I have ever eaten. Also,
Yam Cake is reasonably priced at 10 NT dollars apiece; inexpensively good.
So,
if there is a chance you visit Chichin district, you must give it a try!
Yam Cake is
really worth trying. And you will not regret tasting it. everyone likes the Yam
Cake at the first time he or she eats it. It is really an amazing favor!
Su-a-ma Sponge Cake
By Candy Lu
“Su-a-ma Sponge Cake” is a special
delicacy which
nears Gushan ferry station of Kaohsiung city.[W10]
Local people always stand in queue from the stall to the opposite street. I’ll tell
you how special it is!
A-ma means “Grandmother” in Taiwanese and
su-a-ma is the founder of the shop. When standing beside the stall, we could
immediately smell the fragrance of the Sponge Cake. It doesn’t (missing verb
here) like a normal egg cake. Sponge Cake is crisp outside and soft inside. How delicious
it is!
Besides the original flavor, there are
also red bean and curry flavors. It is only 15 NT dollars for each one, and
people can buy ten and get one for free.
Why “su-a-ma Sponge Cake” is so popular
for the local people?
First, its surface is very crisp. When people
tasted it for the first time, they would be surprised with the sound and the
flavor. Second, its stuffing is so soft that perishes (melts?) instantly. Most
importantly, the price of the Sponge Cake is so cheap that is in touch with the people[W11] .
You
must give it a try if you go to Gushan ferry station. “Su-a-ma Sponge Cake” may
provoke your picky taste. Must try it!
Kaohsiung Roast Duck
By Peter Bai
If you live or study in Kaohsiung and
never have eaten a “roast duck”, it’s terrible to miss this kind of delicacy.
The roast duck store is always full of people during the meal time. Especially
weekend! So, if you want to eat roast duck and do not want to wait for a long
time, you have better WAKE UP early as possible as you can.
Unlike other stores, Kaohsiung roast duck
roasts the duck using coal to make it smell better. After roasting, the chef will
cut the duck into pieces and t and served on a platter. People can eat the
roast duck directly. However, the store provides the “ Flour skin” for customer
to mix the duck[W12] .
According to people who have ever tried this “combination” they claim that’s
super delicious!
in addition to roast duck, Kaohsiung store
provides other delicacies such as fire(?) vegetable, rice blood, and so on.
Next time if somebody comes to Kaohsiung to visit you, just take them here to
enjoy the roast duck.
