The Taiwanese celebrate a holiday called the Moon Festival. They eat moon cakes, pictured below, and wear pomelo hats. I had to teach my kindergarten class about it, but never really grasped what we were celebrating. All I know is I didn't enjoy the moon cakes, but loved the fireworks that went along with the celebration.
In Kaoshung they are famous for their oyster and chive omelets. They're wrapped up and eaten on the go.
Just off Kaoshung is a little island specializing in seafood. All along the streets are restaurants with large tanks and icy displays of the freshly caught fish, shellfish and prawns. I have never eaten seafood so fresh.
This dish we sort of ordered accidentally. It was delicious. I thought I was ordering scallops, but it was really squid. Either way it was very good.
Fish sticks... sort of. These are deep fried prawn sticks, dipped in a spicy ketchup.
