As to whether Taiwan is an independent country is perhaps a bit controversial, but I thought that its cuisine certainly warranted its own separate treatment. My bit of research of the country shows an incredible juxtaposition of the ancient and the cutting edge of modern technology. The National Palace Museum in Taipei is the national museum of the People's Republic of China, one of the top 5 museums in the world.
For my menu, I chose a Taiwanese beef noodle soup, which was a very simple, tasty dish. I followed with one of the national dishes, Bawan, and the ubiquitous Asian side dish of rice. The bawan was an interesting culinary experience, a steamed pork and shrimp dumpling of sorts, which was quite delicious. I must admit, I am using a wide variety of cooking techniques in this culinary world journey!
mànmàn chī!
