Street Snack at Taipei

Hello, welcome back!

I will take you back in my days traveling  studying at National Taiwan University. After opening ceremony of BACT summer course program and touring around Taipei on the first day at school, my new friends and I will explore street food at night. I was grateful that I can hunt for food with them because I have food restriction (can't eat pork) and my knowledge of Chinese language is close to zero >_<

If I'm not mistaken we gathered outside the dormitory at 6 pm. If I remembered there are several student that gathered that night because we just met and couldn't wait to get to know each other. There were Clara, Rebbeca, Jingyi, Joshua, Bao Chai, Heder, Jinhui, and I that hungry and eager to explore Taipei street food. We met and Joshua lead us because he already exploring the area around campus and this was not his irst time visiting Taiwan. We explore the street near our campus and dormitory. Yes, our dormitory is outside campus but it only 10 minute walking. 

The street area is not too different with the situation in Indonesia. If you are studying in Malang it feels like Sumber Sari Area near Brawijaya University. If you studying at Bogor it feels like Babakan Raya / BARA (Dramaga). It is only slightly different.. The food is slightly higher than the price at Bogor or Malang, but if you life at Jakarta the price probably about the same. As we know Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan so it is understandable that the price is higher here. 


I finally find this one food seller that serving food that I could eat and reasonable price. Most of my friend were already got their food. It was very hard to find street food here that not containing pork. People here eat pork as their source of protein, during war the only animal that were abundant is pork, so it was understandable they use it as their main protein source. This vendor was actually not pork free.. But the pork meat only for the topping. Hence by eliminated the topping I could eat this food.

My happy face anticipating the first street food I bought.

I ate it and it tasted so good!

No wonder it tasted good because the lady used a cool tools to cook it ^_^

We strolled around again for a while before going back to dorm. I was happy and grateful meeting with very nice students that help me out a lot during food hunting moment. I will writes more about my day in Taiwan so keep reading my blog and check out my new updates.

See you on next post.. XOXO..

In Indonesia, we still suffering from Coronavirus. We struggling right now and everyone hoping this pandemic will be over soon. During this pandemic, the Indonesian government ask us to stay at home. We all facing a new normal now. My sister works at the health department. She told me that even her workmate become a victim and die.
