My Taiwanese friend led me into what looked like just another restaurant out of many among the overwhelmingly busy and bustling night market. Nothing was written in English, so I would not have discovered this dish there on my own. Though, someday I'd like to have a lot more symbols memorized.
Taiwan was a culinary thrill ride for me. I had tried lots of delicious desserts and teas and a few unusual things like blood cake (not the sweet kind of cake) and chicken feet. But brain was my highlight of unusual dining.
