Good evening. It's 7 o'clock. I'm Candy Lu with EZ News on ICRT. Today, I am going to talking about three topics.
The first topic is Oz.

The Indonesian Minister of Security Affairs says his country will not accept a group of asylum seekers Australia has attempted to send back.

Australian correspondent Brian Portland has more.

The second topic is typhoon.
The strongest typhoon this year slammed into the central Philippines today.
The storm set off landslides and knocked out power and communication lines in several provinces.

At least four people died.

Nearly 720 thousand people were forced to evacuate before Typhoon Haiyan's arrival.

Due to cut-off communication, it was impossible to know the extent of casualties and damage.

The last topic is the weather.
According to Central Weather Bureau forecasters, it'll be clear over much of Taiwan this evening, with lows of 23 or 24 in the north and south, 22 in the center.

Tomorrow, expect more sunny skies, though their may be some clouds in the south. Highs then will peak at 30 or 31 north and south, 29 midisland.

Right now, it's

26 in Taipei

27 in Taizhong

27 in Gaoxiong

That's EZ News at 7. I'm Candy Lu, bye.

Reflection for e-zine

     Personally, I think making an e-zine is very interesting! The group members all agreed to choose a topic about food because we love eating! Our e-zine's topic is Hidden Edition Delicacy in Kaohsiung. We chose eight food as the main items in the e-zine. In my part, I was responsible for tasting and reporting two delicacies in Chichin and Shi Zi Wan. That are Yam Cake and Sponge Cake. Unfortunately, we looked forwarded to tasting Yam Cake, but there was only for one. We got there too late, so the food sold out. Luckily, the vendor gave us the only one Yam Cake for free! Therefore, we shared it with five people totally. It was really delicious and crisp. Later, we went to Shi Zi Wan to eat Sponge Cake. It was very cheap so I ate three. That was a memorable experience because I did not know so many hidden edition delicacy in Kaohsiung. So, when I was making e-zine, I wrote some words about these food happily. I described the food with temptable adjectives. I think making an e-zine is interesting because I can eat lots of food. Not until I do this e-zine did I realize the delicious food in Kaohsiung that I did not hear of.

Hidden Edition Delicacy in Kaohsiung

Popoice(婆婆冰)

By 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 ___missing word (a noun).

Pan Fried Stinky Tofu with Salad

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.

The Cat

     Everyone has good friends in his or her life.  I have a best friend, and he is not a human but an animal. I did not consider him as a good partner until he was gone. Later, I found him so weak and then I realized that I have to seize the time to befriend with him. I have a good partner that was always beside me and is exactly dispensable for me—my cat.

      I took in my cat on a roadside near my house six years ago. That was a hot weather day and I walked by a box which had a dirty cat in it. When I saw the cat, I fell in love at first sight with the cat. Then, I took him to my home, and bathed for him. It was a clean, cute, and smiley cat. My family loved him so much. However, I was fed up with the cat some days later, and really wanted to ignore him because he walked and sat beside me all the time. It seemed that I started to yell to the cat gradually. How bad I was!

      Someday the cat meowed to me because of hunger, and then ran away from the house. At first, he meowed to me and looked it was hungry. I thought he was annoying and I shouted at him without thinking. After that, the cat may felt too hungry to endure, so he ran out of the house and paid no attention to me anymore. I thought my cat would come back soon after finding something to eat. Therefore, I entered my house and sat down calmly. After five minutes, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside. I felt anxious at that time, and then I ran out of the house immediately to see the condition. It was a car accident but there was a cat lay under the car and it is bleeding. “It is my CAT!” I shouted loudly. I cannot stop crying and picked the cat up. I took the cat to the animal hospital.

      I blamed myself not take good care of my cat. The veterinarian told me that the cat was so weak that he may not have strong energy in the future. The cat’s bone was broken, so he might not jump or walk. The cat was meowing to me in the hospital bed. I fed him some food and water until he felt better. After one day, I took the cat to my home. I realized that I could not have no cat in my life. Formerly, the cat always sat and walked beside me even I yelled at him. Now, he was seriously hurt, so he can only lie on the sofa and gazed at me tenderly. I felt guilty that I did not take care of him and even ignored what he was meowing for.

      After this accident, I realized the importance of treasuring my cat. People often do not treasure their friends, families, and animals. Until something happened, I would see the significance of creature’s life. I took the cat to my home six years ago, so I had the responsibility to take care of him. I did not do that before. So, I will do my best to take care of the cat. He is not only my family member but also my treasure.
