Crack Snack




Pictured: A hearty bowl of mixed-variety Taiwanese fishcakes (tian bu la), daikon, and pork balls (gong wan). "Xia Men" is a tian bu la chain that has been in business in Taiwan for over 35 years and they supposedly make the best. All-you-can-drink soup is an additional perk! A real bargain of a snack at 45 NTD (roughly $1.50).
