Taiwan Black Pepper Shrimp!

Fat Yu love Taiwan food!  Not just the food in Taiwan, but Taiwan-style food too!  Many great seafoods, just like in Shanghai!  But taste is very different!

Fat Yu's Taiwan friend take him to a small Taiwan restaurant that only Taiwan people go to!  Fat Yu had never heard of before!

This restaurant have special dish!  Taiwan Black Pepper Shrimp!  They have many tanks full of different shrimp!  We order medium size!


They use special cooking technique!  They call dry roasting!  They use big metal pot!  Get very hot!


Come to the table, smell very good!


Shrimp is very fresh and is cooked perfect!  Firm and springy!  And black pepper taste is very delicious!


But Fat Yu must be honesty!  He like shrimp when is peeled already!  Spitting out shell take too long!  Peeled shrimp can eat much faster!


Why need to eat faster?




I Am Fat Yu!




Dunhuang Food!

People don't know - China very big!  Has many climate!  And big part of China is desert in the west!  Like Dunhuang in Gansu Province!

But western China very dangerous!  They see Shanghai people and want to rob us, because we have much style and money!  Aiya!  Fat Yu must spend his money on food before get robbed!

We have cold bean-flour noodles!  This dish famous in Xian - but Xian style bean noodles most vinegar and coriander!  Dunhuang style has very much chili oil!  Very delicious!


Of course, cannot come to western China and not have lamb!  So we order cumin lamb with Uyghur-style breads!  Eh, this one not so good; lamb is dry and bread is not so fresh!


But doesn't matter!  Any food tastes good when you have drinking Dunhuang strong wine!  Taste is very terrible!  But is very strong, and make Fat Yu very hungry!


Eh, Fat Yu must admit, food in Dunhuang not so great!  Is like worse version of Xian food!  Life very hard in deserts of western China - Fat Yu is glad he live in Shanghai where food is delicious!



I Am Fat Yu!
