龍須菜 (dragon’s whisker, Graciliaria), 黑椒牛柳 (sizzling beef filet in black pepper sauce), 台灣式炸排骨 (taiwanese fried pork chop), 客家筍乾燒肉 (Hakka-style braised pork belly with bamboo shoots), 清炒絲瓜 (stir fried loofah, my grandparents use the dried version as an actual cleaning loofah 🧽), 酸辣湯 (hot and sour soup)
