Into the book

This book contains a collection of delicious products that you can share with your family, friends, and colleagues.
There were some products I didn't want to share for fear of making the store more crowded, but I boldly introduced them too.
We've also introduced kitchenware that can be used not only for food but also on the table or in the kitchen, so we hope you'll use them as props to make your cooking even more delicious.
The final chapter also includes Taiwanese recipes using the products you purchased (especially seasonings and ingredients), so you can use them all up.
I hope you enjoy Taiwan's delicious gifts to your heart's content.
--- From "Entering"

You can taste the long-loved herbal tea, Qingchaocha, at the herbal medicine street next to Longshan Temple, the oldest temple in Taipei.
The Fengli Su that is made by adding a lot of this to the dough is Qingchaocha Fengli Su.
From the moment you take a bite, you can smell the strong herbal aroma, and anyone who has ever had Qingchao tea will instantly be transported back in time to Taiwan.
--- From "Chapter 1 Taiwanese Confectionery"

A chili seasoning that is frequently used in Taiwan is rajiaojiang.
It is an all-purpose seasoning that can be used in all foods, including fried foods, boiled meat, noodles without broth, and boiled dumplings.
It's salty and very slightly sweet.
It has a savory taste because it is made by fermenting green soybeans (qingrenheidou, page 88).
--- From “Chapter 3 Seasonings, Spices, and Powders”

The product introduced here is a tropical fruit flavor pack that can only be purchased at supermarkets.
A bag full of pineapple, mango, and banana flavors, which are representative of Taiwanese fruits.
It is recommended even to people who do not usually eat candy, as it contains the flavor of each fruit.
In particular, the mango has a subtle fragrance that can be felt when you put it in your mouth.
--- From "Chapter 5 Products Sold at the Mart"

Although they may not seem like Taiwanese desserts, they are actually all popular locally.
Crème brûlée and lemon tart are staples in many cafes, and strawberry desserts are also very popular.
There are also many different types of sweets in Taiwan, such as salted chocolate, that have both sweet and salty flavors.
--- From "Chapter 6 Products Sold at Convenience Stores"

Usually, fruit teas are made with small pieces of dried fruit or a small amount of tea leaves, but this series also includes flowers.
When you drink it, the scent of flowers seems to connect the bitterness of the tea with the sourness and sweetness of the fruit, and it goes down your throat smoothly.
It's delicious both hot and iced, but I personally recommend steeping it in room temperature water.
The taste and sweetness of the ingredients stand out, allowing you to fully experience the flavors of Taiwan.

--- From "Chapter 7: Taiwanese Drinks"
