It was here that I experienced my first Taiwan Hamburger. It was rather unlike an American hamburger in pretty much all aspects. Its construction included the following:
- Steamed bread (which has no crust of any kind)
- Crushed peanuts
- Sweet pickle-like stuff. But long and stringy with a slightly different taste
- A fried egg
- The meat of your choice. Hamburger was NOT an option. I selected from pork, lamb, chicken, beef, and several other unidentified meats. (rule #1 when selecting meat in Taiwan: If you don't know what it is, DON'T eat it. It's probably not something you really want to eat. More on this later). I went with the chicken.
- Some sort of sweet barbecue-like sauce.
- Hot sauce (with a vinegar base)
I must say that although this may sound strange and rather unappetizing, it was delicious! The only problem: The festival is now over, and I have no idea where to get another one!
