<p>
There are two options to get "fire meat", or "crispy skin burned
meat". It's a hong-kong style dish, but my mom and I have found a
couple places that sell it.
</p>
<p>
These two restaurants sell, um, "bento boxes"?
</p>
<p>
Yes, I just googled it. It's apparently the same "word" in both
Japanese and Mandarin. It's pronounced closer to 'byan dahng', but
it's the same concept: boxes with rice, meat, and vegetables.
</p>
<p>
It's the same wikipedia page as "bento box":
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><a href="https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BE%BF%E7%95%B6">https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BE%BF%E7%95%B6</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
"Fire meat" (脆皮烧肉) is cooked porkbelly, but one side of the porkbelly is
cooked to be really crispy. It's not like charcoal-y, but more like it
seems like it was deep fried on one side. Tastes really good!
</p>
<p>
This is what it looks like:

<ul class="org-ul">
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcMYSLQOuyo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcMYSLQOuyo</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
Side note:
</p>
<p>
While googling this, I found out bulgogi also translates to 'fire
meat', but in Korean. Not the same thing!

<p>
It's a mildly funny name for a restaurant. They literally name
themselves "good tasting/good flavor/delicious" chicken meat.
</p>
<p>
It's just roasted chicken meat, sold in a bento box format.
</p>
<p>
I like the taste of it.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-2">
<p>
Night markets are a kind of night-life phenomena that are common in
Taiwan and China. I get the impression that these are prevalant across
all of East Asia, but the sentiment that I get is that this is a
phenomena that originates in China/Taiwan.
</p>
<p>
Night markets are basically a conglomerate of popup stands that only
open up at night, and are lined up in a way to facilitate a kind of
leisurely strolling experience. You walk, there's a line-up of shops
selling gadgets, trinkets, and importantly street food. There's also
gambling opportunities (fun games to play for prizes or satisfaction).

<p>
People normally try and travel to here via motorcycle, but my silly
brain says that it's bikeable. It's a 29.6 mile round-trip, uphill one
way, downhill the other way.
</p>
<p>
Last time I went, I left around 4AM, and got back by noon. On the way
back, this pesky thing called the sun rises, and makes things hotter,
so the way back - even though downhill - is way rougher IMO. There's a
<a href="#orgf61c72a">7-Eleven</a> in the middle, where I had to stop and cool off for a while
before making the rest of the trek back home.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-1">
<p>
So, there's this dish called "egg scallion pancake", which is a savory
kind of breakfast food in Taiwan.
</p>
<p>
Bomb scallion pancakes are the same thing, but it is instead deep
fried rather than just stir-fried.
</p>
<p>
The reason they're called "bomb scallion pancakes" is that it's a
pun. If you put the word you use for "deep fry" in front of the word
for "egg", it's pronounced the same way as "bomb". So, "bomb scallion
pancakes" are really "deep-fried egg scallion pancakes".

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-2">
<p>
Yes, you heard me right. We should probably spend a day or two getting
food from a 7-Eleven.
</p>
<p>
In Taiwan (probably in other East-Asian countries), 7-Eleven (and
other kinds of these "convenience stores"), actually sell good tasting
food.
</p>
<p>
These convenience stores have all sorts of connotations and use cases,
but I think the most telling kind of way these stores are treated is
the following: 7-Elevens are a common stopping place for children who
just got off of school, and need a place to sit, eat, and do work
before their after-school tutoring lessons.
</p>
<p>
The above use case almost gives 7-Eleven a kind of library-type feel,
except instead of books, they sell packaged snacks, food, and various
useful trinkets.
