What other food do east asians drink their tea with? Noodles, rice and spring rolls are probably what everyone knows as typical east asian food, but what about barbecue?
Actually, barbecue has long been one of the food activities in east asian countries like Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea. In fact, speaking about the Moon Festival that has occured lately, it is one of the get together activities done among friends and families in Taiwan during the event.
My brother in Taiwan knows how I miss these occassions, so he is always happy to send over some pictures I can enjoy until my next visit to Taiwan. These photoes are from his family´s latest moon festival celebration with their friends and colleagues.
This time they went to a japanese/taiwanese barbecue: grill on each table, fresh meat, seafood and vegetable, not to mention the delicious dessert afterward.
Food is indeed a joy that fills the stomach and spirit, but what fills the heart are - as the photoes shown below say and as moon festival is primary all about - the wonderful people around you, - family and friends.
And so as the moon brightened, faces also light up and everyone from all generations enjoys: pround mothers & fathers, children, colleagues, etc etc. all feeling the meaning of the celebration ... and so tea tastes really best!
Part 2 coming up: Korean Barbecue .... meanwhile, this japanese / taiwanese barbecue place is at Yuan-shaw restaurant, Ju-pei city Hsin-chu, and even in many major cities around Taiwan. Don´t miss it next time you´re in this beautiful island.
Until next post ... in the meantime Taiwan smiles and says: Hello!
