A famous street food of 嘉义( Jiayi, Taiwan): 火鸡肉饭, which is Turkey Rice. I don't think it is unfamiliar or strange to you. Some of you make this dish (from the leftovers of a roasted turkey) after Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Hahahhaha....
In Taiwan, it's available all year round.
But I prefer chicken rice anytime! And I've painfully reminded myself of Hainanese Chicken Rice back in Singapore.
Is it a widely-accepted fact...when you talk about "where to look for good food"? In Taiwan, you can try finding good (and cheap) eats near the temples (庙 口小吃), major universities, or some of the old historic streets (老街) . In night markets too, you will find yummy snacks and food.

That dish is sometimes better than the meal from which it is derived! We love it.

ReplyDeleteoh my turkey rice?.I didn't know Taiwanese like Turkey rice.of course we asian prefer chicken rice than tasteless turkey rice.talking about Hainese chicken rice make me drooling now!1hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Chinese people ate turkey much! I don't think we've ever eaten turkey when I was growing up (that I remember). You learn something new everyday...
ReplyDelete(But perhaps I'll like the chicken version better, hehe.)
simple, but still looks good! i didn't know they had turkey in taiwan though..
ReplyDeletewonder what that yellow thingy is ... some kind of pickled vegetable/fruit? give me hainanese chicken rice anytime, too! :P
ReplyDeleteOh yum! I swear if I ever move to Taiwan, I won't be cooking at all!!!! :D

Have you posted on Shihlin night market before?
ReplyDeleteI didn't try this when I was in Taiwan. Looks bland.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try turkey rice. It's suppose to be much much much healthier than chicken right?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Tawainnese street food! I was there twice to visit friends when I was living in japan, and I miss it!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a healthy combination. I don't get to eat turkey that often but I'm fond of eating chicken.
ReplyDeleteHmm... maybe you could make some normal chicken rice if you can't have the Hainanese Chinese Rice? My friend told me that all you need to do is to cook the rice with some chicken stock and add the raw chicken pieces when the rice is at the stage getting cooked. It tasted really good!
