Straight Out Street Fooding

 

I got off track there for a while, but I’m back.  I’d like to say I got too busy to do this, but I wasn’t.  Sometimes being a little creative, (And I’m emphasizing “little”), is a bit taxing.  I made a couple of videos with Elizabeth, which will be coming out soon, I went and did some birding, I went to the Tea Shop, and I’ve been writing sermons and Bible studies for the church, so that left me only about five days a week to work on this.  So, let’s just call a spade a spade, I got lazy a bit.  In my defense though, I didn’t retire so I could get another job. See, I can justify even laziness if I put my mind to it!

So, here we go! Recently, Eric and I decided to do an afternoon of “street fooding” and I thought maybe I could share that with you.  Street food is kind of a big deal.  I don’t really think of myself as a foodie, but people who do, consider Taiwan to be a “Food Destination.”  Food is very important to the locals.  There are restaurants everywhere.  The things that I gravitate to are either a restaurant in someone’s garage or food carts that are scattered all over the city.  I have to be careful about not going to those places too often, though, because it’s a lot of deep fried and bready things.  Cholesterol and Blood Sugar are important things for me to watch carefully.  I also don’t want to get fat so, there’s that!

We hit a number of street food carts in Bade District, and I wanted to share the delights we found there and some other things we didn’t do on this day:

Oyster Daddies  蚵嗲

Fresh, Hot Oyster Daddies

There is a type of deep-fried dumpling called a 蚵嗲, (pronounced as Ke diuh).  The syllable for 嗲 contains the radical meaning dad.  So, I refer to them as “Oyster Daddies”.  They are delicious.  I absolutely love to eat oysters.  I like them raw with a spicy sauce on them.  I like them cooked fried teppanyaki style.  I especially like them as deep-fried dumplings.  The cost about $50NTD (about $1.60USD.)   One of them makes an excellent snack, and two is enough for a lunch.

Tang Bao 湯包

Nice Steamed Tang Bao

Tang bao (pronounced Taung Bow) translates to Soup Dumpling.  This is a dumpling that is filled with pork and a bit of pork soup.  It is steamed in a circular bamboo steamer that stacks one on another called a小籠 (pronounced shiou long) small steamer.  So, these are often called小籠包.  It’s served with little strips of ginger which really adds to the taste.  One long, about seven dumplings costs about $70NTD or (about $2.40USD) and is enough for a light meal.

Cong Zhua Bing  蔥抓餅

Cong Zhua Bing on the Griddle

Cong Zhua Bing (pronounced tsong jwa bing) is a flaky scallion pancake.  It is made with scallions kneaded into a dough made from potato starch, then fried on the grill. There is another type called Cong You Bing  蔥油餅 (pronounced tsong yo bing).  The difference is that Cong You Bing is flat (like a thick flour tortilla), and Cong Zhua Bing is pulled apart a bit and it becomes thicker and flakier.  They can be fried on an egg and the sauce is added.  You can have your choice of regular or a little spicy.  I like a lot of sauce on mine and an egg.  The price with an egg is $45NTD ($1.50 USD).  Without an egg is $30NTD ($1.00USD) One serving is enough for a light lunch.

Zhen Zhu Nai Cha 珍珠奶茶

Oolong Tea about to become Zhen Zhu Nai Cha

In the United States zhen zhu nai cha (pronounced jen ju ni cha) is called Boba Tea.  In Taiwan Boba is slang for large breasts so it is called zhen zhu nai cha which translates as Pearl Tea.  You can have it made with any type of tea like Green Tea, Black (Red) Tea, or Oolong, and any level of sugar you want.  The pearls are made from tapioca flour and black sugar.  They’re delicious chewy little pearls.  I won’t go into a lot of detail because it is so popular in the US, but I will say that it was invented in Taiwan. The cost of one drink made with Oolong tea and Pearls is about $70NTD (about $2.40USD) at Milk Sha.  Try getting it for that price in the US.

Gua Bao 刈包

Braised Pork Being Added to Man Tou

Gua Bao (pronounced gwa bow) is sometimes called the Taiwanese Hamburger.  It's made with a steamed bun called man tou (pronounced mawn tow) that is cut and filled with Braised Pork, Cilantro and Peanut Powder.  Not that wimpy Peanut Powder that you can buy in the States, I’m talking about the good stuff, real Peanut Powder.  There’s a place about two blocks from my apartment that sells these bad boys.  The lady that owns the place likes me, so she makes nice fat ones for me.  They are super delicious.  Price is about $60NTD each (about $2.00USD).  One Gua Bao is about what I would have for lunch.

 我有一段時間偏題了，但我回來啦。我本可以說我太忙沒時間，但其實並不是。有時候稍微動點腦筋（我強調是“稍微”），也會讓人覺得累。我和莎白拍了幾支影片，馬上就要出來了，我去賞鳥，還在為教會準備講道和查經材料，所以我能投入在這件事上的時間其實只有大約每週五天。說句實話，我就是有點懶。不過幫自己辯護一下，我退休不是為了再去上班。你看，只要肯努力，連“懶”都有藉口！

好了，開始吧！最近我和Eric決定來個下午的“街頭美食之旅”，所以想跟你們分享一下。街頭美食可是大事一樁。我雖然不自認是個“吃貨”，但行家都說台灣是美食之都。食物對當地人非常重要，餐廳到處都是。我偏愛那種在車庫裡的餐館或散落全城的美食攤車。不過得小心別太常去，因為很多都是炸的、麵糰類的，膽固醇和血糖是我要注意的點。我也不想變胖，這也很重要！

當天我們在八德區拜訪了好幾攤街頭美食，現在來分享我們吃到的精采美食，以及那些我們這天沒吃到的：

---

🦪 蚵嗲（Oyster Daddies）

有一種炸餃叫做「蚵嗲」，字面上「嗲」這個字帶有「爸」的部首，所以我戲稱它為 “Oyster Daddies”。這道小吃超好吃。我超愛吃蚵，無論是生食搭配辣醬，還是鐵板煎炸，我都愛。尤其是炸成小餃子的這款，一顆賣大約 NT$50（約 US$1.60）。一顆就是極佳的點心，吃兩顆就可以當午餐了。

---

🍜 湯包（Tang Bao）

湯包就是湯汁豐富的肉包。裡頭包著肉和一些湯汁，用堆疊的圓形竹蒸籠蒸熟，這種籠子叫「小籠」，所以有時也被稱為小籠包。通常會搭配細薑絲一起吃，更添風味。一籠約七顆，售價約 NT$70（約 US$2.40），一餐剛剛好，吃得舒服又不過量。

---

🥞 蔥抓餅（Cong Zhua Bing）

蔥抓餅是一款層次酥脆的蔥油餅。蔥揉進地瓜粉麵糰裡，再放在鐵板上煎。還有一種類似的叫「蔥油餅」，差別在於蔥油餅是比較扁像厚墨西哥餅，蔥抓餅則是拉開有層次、酥脆厚實版。可以加蛋和醬料，醬甜得恰到好處、蛋增加飽足感。我喜歡加滿醬和蛋。加蛋 NT$45（約 US$1.50），不加 NT$30（約 US$1.00）。一份當輕 lunch 很剛好。

---

🧋 珍珠奶茶（Zhen Zhu Nai Cha）

在美國叫珍珠奶茶，俗稱 Boba Tea。不過在台灣，“Boba”在英文直譯是“大胸”，所以我們就說“珍珠奶茶”：珍珠是用木薯粉和黑糖做成的，Q彈好吃！可以選綠茶、紅茶或烏龍茶，還可以選甜度。我不多說了，因為在美國已經非常流行，但提醒一點：珍珠奶茶是起源於台灣。像 Milk Sha 的烏龍珍珠奶茶大約 NT$70（約 US$2.40），想在美國用台灣同等價位買，很難吧！

---

🍔 刈包（Gua Bao）

刈包，又被稱為台灣漢堡。是以饅頭切開夾進滷豬肉、香菜和花生粉，但不是美國那種市售花生粉，而是真材實料的花生粉。離我住處兩條街有一個攤車，老闆娘挺照顧我的，會做超厚實的大刈包給我。超美味！一個約 NT$60（約 US$2.00），我通常一個就當午餐了。

希望你喜歡這趟街頭美食分享！如果想知道更多地點、種類或季節特產，隨時告訴我。

The Other Fish Market

The midnight Fish market was too much, even for me, so we tried again at a different place.  This time we went to a day fish market in Yilan Daxi.  This market was more my style.  Friendly vendors selling fish at a good price.  This isn’t a wholesale market.  This is a retail market.

You could ask questions, people smiled and talked to you, and didn’t make faces when you asked to buy one fish.  For me, it was all “Happy, happy, joy, joy!”  I always like it better when people don’t think I’m a pain in the butt.  I mean I am, but I just like it better when they don’t think that.

You don’t have to worry that the fish might not be fresh, either.  The fishermen get up real early in the morning…real early.  They get in their boats and go out fishing about 4:00 am.  Then they come back before 1:00 pm, and unload.  The market opens at 1:00 pm.  So, you’re buying the fish caught that morning. I saw crabs that were still alive, and trying to grab some guy with their pincers.  There were some fish in bowls of water still alive enough to give you the old “stink-eye.” 

All of the fish are caught just off the shore in a channel between Yilan and Turtle Island.  So many varieties; Amberjack, Scarlet Shrimp, crabs, Flying Fish, Red-eye, and the specialty of the market 安康魚 (phonetically: Awn Kong Yu), which we call Monkfish in English. 

The fish are reasonably priced.  We bought a giant Amberjack for $380 NTD, (about $12.69 USD), but the Amberjack had two flying fish in its stomach, so we got two bonus fish.  We also bought a kilo of Scarlet Shrimp, another Flying Fish and three Monkfish. All of that, plus that giant Amberjack cost us $1125 NTD (about $37.57 USD).

Here’s the really cool part though, after you buy the fish, and the vendor cleans them, then you take them upstairs to these restaurant stalls and they cook them up for you.  At the restaurant we got the Amberjack made into sushi, fried filet, and soup, (with the Flying Fish that were in the Amberjack’s stomach).  Then we had a fried Flying Fish, and they prepared the Monkfish with some vegetables.  We also got fried cabbage and 空心菜, (phonetically, kowng shin sigh) which is called water spinach in English.  In the US, you can only find 空心菜 in Asian stores, but it’s really expensive. The restaurant only charged $1020 NTD (about $34.06 USD).  Altogether we paid $2145 NTD, ($71.63 USD) for all that.  Five of us ended up eating fish for three days.  I think that’s pretty inexpensive.  You could probably get all of that in the states for the price of a small car.

That last place as I said I wouldn’t recommend for tourists.  It was not a fun place.  This place, on the other hand, I would call a "don’t miss" tourist stop.  It is even wheelchair accessible, with a large disabled person restroom and a ramp down to the Fish Market.  Fresh fish and delicious cooking, what more can you ask for, and definitely don’t forget the Monkfish.  It was the best part.

半夜的魚市場對我來說實在太誇張了，連我都受不了，所以我們換了個地方再試一次。這次我們去了宜蘭大溪的白天魚市場。這個市場就比較像我習慣的樣子了——友善的攤販、實惠的魚價。這不是批發市場，而是零售市場。

你可以問問題，人們會微笑並與你交談，而且當你只想買一條魚時，他們也不會露出不悅的表情。對我來說，整個體驗就像「快樂快樂、歡喜歡喜！」我總是比較喜歡別人不覺得我是個討人厭的人。雖然我的確有點煩，但我比較喜歡他們不這麼覺得。

你也不必擔心魚不新鮮。漁夫們一大早就起床……真的很早，大概凌晨四點就出海，然後在下午一點前返回卸貨。市場下午一點開門，所以你買到的是當天早上捕的新鮮魚。我還看到螃蟹活蹦亂跳，試圖用鉗子夾住某個人。有些魚還在水盆裡，活到可以對你翻白眼。

所有的魚都是在宜蘭與龜山島之間的海域捕撈的。種類多樣，有青魽魚、緋紅蝦、螃蟹、飛魚、紅眼魚，還有這個市場的招牌——安康魚（英文叫 Monkfish）。

魚的價格都很合理。我們買了一條超大的青魽魚只要380元台幣（約12.69美金），而且青魽魚肚子裡還有兩條飛魚，等於多了兩條魚！我們還買了一公斤的緋紅蝦、另外一條飛魚和三條安康魚。這些加上那條巨大的青魽魚總共花了1125元台幣（約37.57美金）。

最酷的是，買完魚之後，攤販會幫你處理乾淨，然後你可以把魚拿到樓上的小餐廳去，他們會幫你料理。我們把青魽魚做成壽司、炸魚排和湯（加上它肚子裡的飛魚）。接著還吃了炸飛魚，安康魚則是配上蔬菜一起烹調的。我們還點了炒高麗菜和空心菜（英文叫 water spinach）。在美國，空心菜只能在亞洲超市買到，而且很貴。但這裡的餐廳只收了1020元台幣（約34.06美金）。總共我們花了2145元台幣（約71.63美金），五個人吃了三天的魚。我覺得這真的很划算。在美國，這些東西的價格可能都能買一台小車了。

我之前說過那個半夜的市場我不推薦給觀光客，那真不是個好玩的地方。但這個地方我會稱之為「絕不能錯過」的旅遊景點。它甚至還有無障礙設施，有大型的無障礙廁所，還有通往魚市場的斜坡。新鮮的魚加上美味的料理，還能要求什麼呢？千萬別忘了安康魚，那是最好吃的部分！

Take it from Ol' Jack Burton, On a Dark and Stormy Night!

The other night I did something that I’ve never done in Taiwan before.  I went to the Midnight Fish Market in Keelong. I loving going to markets in Taiwan.  Traditional markets, night markets, wet markets, day markets, morning markets, it doesn’t really matter.  They’re so loud and interesting, and there’s so much going on, I like to just hang out and watch.

This was something, though, that I was not prepared for…The midnight Fish Market!  This is where the fishermen bring their catches to sell to stores and restaurants.  It’s a wholesale market.  If you’re looking to buy one mackerel, you are in the wrong place.  Not only will they not sell it to you, but they won’t even answer you, when you ask how much. I saw huge tuna and salmon, bags and bags of clams and oysters, piles of fresh seaweed, shrimp that were bigger around than your fist and a bunch of fish I’d never seen before.     

There are thousands of people, big trucks driving through the middle of it, and people unloading case after case of seafood.  The whole place reminded me of the opening market scene in the movie, “Big Trouble in Little China.”  I expected to see the old “Pork Chop Express," (1) rolling through the street, “on a dark and stormy night.” (2) (This is fun, let’s see how many “Big Trouble” references I can stuff into this short narrative.)

The place is chaotic.  Sometimes chaotic is fun and cool, in this case, it was one of the most intimidating places I’ve ever been, even Jack Burton (3) would have been intimidated. I fully expected to see some guy floating down on a lightning bolt (4).   

So, all this was happening on a small street in Keelong.  I looked around for a harbor with fishing boats nearby, but I didn’t see one.  The fish come from fisherman’s wharf in Danshui, or more to the east, I think, off Highway 2.  In any case, all of the fish coming in here came on trucks. 

This is not something I would recommend to tourists, it’s interesting to see, but I wouldn’t want to go there without someone who’s been there before.  Fortunately, Elizabeth has blue eyes, so I didn’t have to rescue a girl with green eyes, from a guy named Lo Pan! (5)  That’s five “Big Trouble” references, six if you count the title! 

If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out!

前幾個晚上，我在台灣做了一件從來沒做過的事：我去了基隆的午夜魚市場。
我很喜歡逛台灣的各種市場，傳統市場、夜市、濕市場、日市、早市——其實哪種都沒差。
那些地方總是又吵又有趣，發生很多事，我就喜歡待在那邊，看著人來人往。

但這次的經驗我真的沒準備好……就是那個午夜魚市場！
這是漁夫們把他們捕來的漁獲拿來賣給店家和餐廳的地方，是個批發市場。
如果你只是想買一條鯖魚，那你來錯地方了。他們不但不會賣你，連你問價錢都不會理你。
我看到巨大的鮪魚和鮭魚，一袋又一袋的蛤蠣和牡蠣，一堆新鮮的海帶，還有比拳頭還粗的蝦子，還有一堆我從沒見過的魚。

那裡有上千人，還有大卡車直接從市場中間開過去，人們不停地搬下箱子，一箱又一箱的海鮮。
整個場景讓我想到電影《新龍風雲》（Big Trouble in Little China）開場那段市場的畫面。
我差點以為會看到老舊的「豬排快車（Pork Chop Express）」在「又黑又暴風雨的夜晚」穿街而過。
（這好玩，我要看看能在這段小故事裡塞多少個《新龍風雲》的梗。）

那個地方真的很混亂。混亂有時候會讓人覺得很酷很好玩，但這次是我去過最讓人壓力爆棚的地方之一，就連Jack Burton大概也會嚇到吧。
我幾乎覺得下一秒會有人從一道閃電中漂浮下來。

這一切居然就發生在基隆一條小街上。我四處張望，想找找有沒有附近的漁港或漁船，但什麼都沒看到。
那些魚應該是從淡水的漁人碼頭來的，或者是更東邊，我猜可能是台2線沿線的哪個地方。
不管怎樣，所有的魚都是用卡車運來的。

這不是我會推薦給觀光客的行程，雖然很有趣，但如果沒有人帶路的話，我不會想自己去。
幸好Elizabeth是藍眼睛的，我就不用從叫做Lo Pan的傢伙手中去救一個綠眼睛的女孩了！
這樣總共五個《Big Trouble in Little China》的梗了。如果你還沒看過這部片，那你真的錯過了！

Geriatric Transportation, Hey I'm Old!

Today, I wanted to post about our transportation methods here in Taiwan.  Of course, we have a car because we have some places that we go that are pretty far away, and I don’t want to be hanging off the back of a scooter for a long distance, besides there are three of us traveling together, usually; my wife, my care giver and I.

There’s a lot of old people here on scooters and many of them are towing a hand truck as a trailer.  They use this method mostly to haul recyclables to the recycling center.  I just have this feeling that if we were all on the scooter that I would be tied to the hand truck.  Look, I know how these things work.

The weather is getting better, so who wants to ride in the car when you can be out in the open – Feeling the wind in your face.  Besides it is much easier to get around in town, find parking spaces and look cool doing it.

Our car is a Toyota Sienta.  These aren’t available in the States.  It’s a small car, that usually seats seven people.  The back doors are sliders like a mini van, but this car is more like a micro-mini van. It’s pretty underpowered, in my opinion; an 1800 cc engine.  It doesn’t go super-fast either, but it does have the advantage of being underpriced, so there is that!  It’s not like I want to go all that fast, anyway.  It’s just basic transportation for when it’s raining, which is fairly often! After all we’re about seven miles from a rain forest, sort of!

Of course, I have my mobility scooter, that I use for birding and general tooling around.  It’s a pretty nice little rig.  It’s powered by a twenty-four-volt electrical system.  It’s also street legal; mirrors, turn signals, brake lights, hazard flashers.  It has hand throttles, the right-hand lever makes it go forward, and the left hand one goes backward.  The speed is regulated by a potentiometer; it has a turtle to depict slow and a rabbit for fast.  I almost always travel at full bunny; about twelve km/h (approximately 7.5 mph).   I told you I wasn’t really into blazing speed.  Actually, though, that’s pretty fast.  The other day I almost passed an old woman with a walker…almost.  Who knew she could run like that!

The other day, we bought Brenda a brand-new motor scooter.  It’s called the Aeon Gather Steady Hauler.    She wanted a three-wheeled scooter, because she wanted the stability provided by those extra wheels.  When we first moved to Taiwan in 2009, I bought a scooter and had it modified.  I had two outriggers attached to the back, so I could have the stability.  We both rode it, so we’re comfortable with those extra wheels.  I used to tease Brenda by calling the scooter my new pickup truck, because of the amount of stuff she would haul around.    This is another reason for the Steady Hauler.  It’s three- wheeled with the technology to lean over, like a two-wheeled scooter.  Behind the seat is a flat, cargo space.  You can attach a crate to it so you can put stuff in it.  And it has a place for a basket as well. 

It's basically, a 125cc motorcycle. It can travel at seventy-five km/h (45 mph).  The speed limit for most roads that are not freeways is fifty km/h (31 mph), so it’s fast enough.  It even has a foot brake for the rear brake, which is really cool.  That’s another mod from the original scooter.  She was worried about the hand brakes, this makes her much more comfortable!

今天我想分享一下我們在台灣的交通方式。當然，我們有一輛車，因為我們有時需要去一些很遠的地方，而我可不想長時間掛在機車後面，況且我們通常是三個人一起出門：我太太、我的看護和我。

這裡有很多老人家騎機車，很多人還拖著一台手推車當作拖車。他們大多是用這種方式把回收物載到回收中心。我總覺得如果我們三個都坐在一台機車上的話，我就會被綁在那台手推車上。你知道的，我很清楚這種事會怎麼發展。

天氣變好了，誰還想坐車呢？當然是想在戶外感受風吹在臉上的感覺。而且在市區裡騎機車更方便，好停車，還比較酷。

我們的車是 Toyota Sienta，這種車在美國沒有。這是一款小車，通常可以坐七個人。它的後門是滑門，就像小型麵包車，不過這台更像是超迷你麵包車。依我看，它的馬力很小，只有1800cc。速度也不快，不過價格便宜，這也算是一個優點吧！反正我也不追求什麼高速。這就是在下雨的時候用的基本交通工具，而這裡下雨還挺常見的！畢竟我們離熱帶雨林大概只有七英里，差不多吧！

當然，我也有一台代步電動車，我用來賞鳥和到處跑跑。這是一台挺不錯的小車，使用24伏的電力系統。它也可以在路上行駛，有後視鏡、方向燈、煞車燈、警示燈。操控是用手把油門，右手控制前進，左手控制後退。速度由電位器調整，有烏龜表示慢，有兔子表示快。我幾乎都是用全兔速，大約每小時12公里（約7.5英里）。我不是那種追求高速的人。不過老實說，這其實已經算快了。前幾天我差點超過一位推助行器的老太太……差點啦。誰知道她跑得那麼快！

前幾天，我們幫 Brenda 買了一台全新的機車。它叫做 Aeon Gather Steady Hauler。她想要一台三輪機車，因為那樣比較穩。我們2009年剛搬來台灣的時候，我買了一台機車並加裝了兩個側輪來增加穩定性。我們兩個一起騎，所以對這種加裝輪子也很熟悉。我以前常開玩笑說那台是我的小貨車，因為她總是載很多東西。這也是她現在選 Steady Hauler 的原因之一。這台三輪車有可以像雙輪機車一樣傾斜的技術。座位後面是平坦的載貨區，可以裝一個箱子，也可以加裝籃子放東西。

基本上，它是一台125cc的摩托車，最高時速可達75公里（約45英里）。台灣大部分不是高速公路的道路速限是50公里（約31英里），所以速度已經夠了。它甚至還有後輪腳煞，真的很酷！這是從以前那台機車改良來的功能之一。她以前不太放心用手煞，這個設計讓她騎起來安心多了！

Never mind my hair, here.  It was windy, okay?  Besides, when you're going that fast it gets messed up.  

別在意我的頭髮啦，今天風很大好嗎？而且，騎那麼快，頭髮當然會亂啊。

Also, the cartoon is by ChatGPT.  For some reason it couldn't grasp the concept of a hand truck trailer.  Artificial semi-intelligence!

還有，這張卡通圖是由 ChatGPT 畫的。不知道為什麼，它就是無法理解手推車拖車這個概念。人工半智能啊！
