What We Ate In Taiwan, Part 8 - Seafood in Kaohsiung

As far as all of the great meals we had on the Supera/Signet (www.superatours.com) tour of Taiwan, I would award the silver medal to the seafood dinner we had in Kaohsiung, for both quality and the mix of interesting dishes.

First on the menu was this nice dish of sliced grilled fish.  Except that it wasn't fish, it was thinly sliced squid.


Stir fried tender bamboo was a highlight.



Nothing like boiled shrimp.


Followed by stir fried grouper



Fried sticky rice appears to be popular in Taiwan.  This version was made with scallops.


Here's the star of the dinner!  So what can be so great about Chinese broccoli?  Well this wasn't Chinese broccoli.  It was a fern--bird nest fern to be exact.   Much crunchier than Chinese broccoli, it blew everybody away.



Something for clam lovers.




Great crispy seafood rolls. 




But wait!  There's more!  Tofu fish ball soup.



And finally dessert, hai yu jelly.


What a meal!  Lunch was a little light, but this more than made up for it.
