The foods of Taitung

We had many delicious foods in Taitung and started with dumplings cooked in wooden steaming baskets. We visited Fruit Street where we saw a rainbow of colors. The pink fruit is called Dragon fruit and is a white fleshy fruit with tiny black seeds (think of a kiwi) throughout. Another wonderful fruit is the Buddha fruit which is the green, bumpy item. Wow!! It is juicy and refreshing and a specialty of the Taitung area. We were welcomed with tea at our hotel and ate at a Japanese barbeque one night. It was very similar to the Korean barbeque in Indianapolis and we consumed a lot of beef, fish, shrimp and crab meat.
