My apologies ahead of time if this post does not interest anyone except Taiwanese drama lovers. It started with a kiss (1 and 2), ISWAK, is an extremely popular Taiwanese drama about a naive and good-hearted girl who devotes herself to liking a seemingly cold-hearted genius, originally based off a Japanese manga.
As most dramas are...it's dramatic (redundant I know), but though their acting and the plots are pretty decent, what always catches my eye is the food they eat. I don't know why but in almost every scene there's a huge banquet of food. They have had huge plates of fish, cakes, and any food imaginable. I get so hungry when I watch this series; it's ridiculous.
Then, my friend, who's Taiwanese, has been to Taiwan says that it's true, they lay out all these dishes out for meals and she just keeps eating and eating. She only gained 1-2 pounds after a month of eating all that food. She says that it's because it must be the way they cook the food or what they cook. It boggles my mind.

Taiwanese food is the BEST!
My boyfriend is Taiwanese, so I have experienced Taiwanese food a few times. The food and the ingredients used are always pretty healthy.
It's okay, but I prefer Cantonese Cuisine (:
the food is yummy but the dramas arent. taiwanese dramas have no plot and its always so long, if it had plot it wouldnt be that long. just when you think its almost over, something happens to the main female characters mom, main female characters childhood/past, main male characters past, so on and so on. it has no substance whatsoever. in other words, its boring. i do agree with the food though and you would think with all the yummy food, there would be tons of fat taiwanese people. i know its not in the food so it must be in the genes. DNA anyone???. i prefer watching korean, japanese and cantonese dramas especially cantonese dramas. they always have plot so its good to watch especially those cantonese CSI dramas...the best. p.s. no drama (of any kind) should have over 30 episodes. keep it short and to the point. dont drag it.
dude, taiwanese food is the best cuisine in the world. hands down.
mine.
XDi love love love taiwanese food.

The food looks good! Never watched the drama before since I avoid 'over-hype' stuffs as much as possible.

Although I am Taiwanese, I cannot stand Ariel Lin's acting. I don't really know why - however, I do love traditional Taiwanese food, probably because I've grown up with it. :]
BAHHHH i miss Taiwan..I wanna go eat taiwanese cuisine right nowwwwwwww >..<!!!

OMG I love ISWAK/ ISWAK 2. And your post is making me hungry.
Though I don't really know why the food is so low in calories. Maybe they use healthier ingredients.that's already making me hungry.

Reminds me of home. =(
