Not much happened today. But while walking through the Shipai night market, I noticed a stall serving stuffed fried chicken breast. What they do is sandwich ham, cheese and egg between two flatten out pieces of chicken breast. Then they deep fry it and sprinkle it with red pepper powder. It's kinda like Cayenne pepper, but taiwanese. This powder seems to be common around Taipei. This stuffed fried chicken is pronounced Len Dan Ji Zha. I can't find the first chinese character, but I think the rest of it is 蛋雞炸. It's sooo good! It took a while to cook, so I sat down and talked with the owners for a few minutes in chinese of course. I will be revisiting :)

you really made everyone here envy. it is a hot day today, and we stuck in the house. :)
ReplyDeleteSurely put the double-down to shame!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the KFC Double Down - ham and cheese sandwiched between two breaded chicken breast fillets. No egg though - I guess that makes it a little bit healthier? Theirs definitely looks fancier than the Double Down. :)
ReplyDeleteI've had the KFC double-down. tastes artificially nasty and salty. This is 10x better.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is... I won't go near the KFC Double-Down, it just doesn't even sound good. blech.
ReplyDeleteHmm... it looks so tasty.
ReplyDeleteAh! There was a shop that sold this next to my high school (I was an exchange student in TW for 2009-10). The one I ate though was really gross and pussy... that looks a lot more appealing. I never saw another shop like it.
