Seafood is extremely common in Taiwan, obviously because Taiwan is an island. As much as I like food, what I really like is seafood. I like it because it's easy to get and it's cheap, for the most part. At Shilin night market there is a small restaurant that serves seafood soup including clam and oyster soup. I especially like oysters because I remember when I was little my family didn't buy them a lot because they are expensive to get in Iowa and it was usually seasonal.
I have my kickboxing class on Thurs. nights and to go home I pass the Shilin night market. I was craving oyster soup but I was afraid to go by myself and order it because last time when I went with my Taiwanese coworker, they were rude to us. The lady was still rude when I ordered but the guy was nice. It's so cheap (about $1.50) and it was good. Luckily the guy understood me and I just ate it at the restaurant. The soup just had oysters, ginger, green onions, and tofu. It's pretty simple but it's fresh. Some people might think it's weird to like oysters but I definitely think they are a delicacy!
