Japan, to the time they started trading<br />

12.30pm, Taichung - Home made<br />
food at traditional markets<br />
From Taipei, you take the HSR<br />
train from Taipei to Taichung for 54<br />
minutes, and then immediately go to<br />
the traditional Taichung Second Public<br />
Market to try out their fantastic food.<br />
As a significant part of Taichung's<br />
history, the Taichung Second Public<br />
Market was built in 1917, and to this<br />
day, has lasted for 100 years. The place<br />
is famous for delicious traditional<br />
dishes such as black tea, dumplings,<br />
noodles, vermicelli and especially the<br />
Lu Rou Fan pork rice.<br />
There is a Taiwanese saying that says<br />
every visitor to Taiwan must always<br />
try "beef noodle soup and pork rice."<br />
Lu Rou Fan is a traditional pork rice<br />
dish in Taiwan. Depending on the<br />
region, people prepare the dish in two<br />
different ways: either with thin slices<br />
of pork or braised minced pork. The<br />
meat comes from the belly of the pig,<br />
and consists of different layers with<br />
the fat layering together with the meat.<br />
Without this layer of fat, Lu Rou Fan<br />
loses its unique touch.<br />
For many people, Lu Rou Fan is not<br />
only a delicious dish, but also a comfort<br />
food attached to their childhood, often<br />
with the image of their grandmother<br />
or mother preparing the dish in the<br />
kitchen. Right in the middle of the<br />
market, you can visit the modest food<br />
stall Arashi of Lan Mama - it's how the<br />
locals call her at least. During my first<br />
lunch in Taichung was presented with<br />
a hot bowl of white rice, minced pork,<br />
braised in sauce and sprinkled with<br />
spring onion. Definitely this is one of<br />
the best home-made' meals out there.<br />
It is how the locals have enjoyed their<br />
moments of pleasure during a long day<br />
of work.<br />
