台灣媳婦Serina的部落格

The Red Onion restaurant is my recent favorite.

I heard a lot about this restaurant from my friend.

She said, “The food is pretty good and you should go there if you miss Taiwanese food.  Trust me! You will never regret.”

Some of my Chinese friends wanted to try Taiwanese food so I recommended the Red Onion to them.

I guess the reason they wanted to try Taiwanese food is the article that CNN posted on June/14/2015: Which destination has the world's best food?

Of course, the number one is Taiwan.

By the way, if you are interested in the article, here is the link: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/14/travel/world-best-food-culinary-journeys/index.html

So on Aug/20, my friends & I went to the Red Onion which is located in Edison, NJ.

Following my friends' suggestions, we ordered some dishes.

I am listing everything that we ordered and also I have posted a picture of these dishes.

It will make it easier for to order if you want to try these dishes.

1.Beef noodle soup:

Beef noodle soup is the one of typical Taiwanese foods.

You could find this dish easily in Taiwan.

This beef noodle soup is a little spicy and the wide noodle is a little bit chewy.

Please add the pickle vegetable/mustard into your soup.

It is not a typical beef noodle soup without the pickle vegetable /mustard!

2.Oyster omelet

It must be the dish that I missed a lot because it is hard to find in the USA.

This was the first oyster omelet I had eaten in the three years that I have lived here.

If you ask me how is that?

If you were I, you would know what I am talking about.

But honestly it tasted so good, especially eating with the sweet sause!

3.Taiwanese Fried Chicken:

As you know, Taiwan is famous for night markets.

Taiwanese fried chicken is one of the delicacies of the night market.

It is called Taiwanese Fried Chicken but it is more like popcorn chicken.

Let’s talk about the taste.  When they fry it, they add salt, pepper and basil, which makes it smell so good. And it is crisp outside and tender inside.

But there are bones inside, you should be careful when you eat it.

4.Fried Chicken Roll:

It is called chicken roll but there is no chicken meat inside!

I just searched to see why it was called chicken roll; it's because it looks like chicken neck!

It is rolled by tofu skin so after it is fried, the outside is very crispy; and the stuffing is made from pork and vegetables.

All of my friends love this dish. If you go to the restaurant, you should order it and have a bite!

By the way, don’t forget the dip that will make the chicken roll more delicious.

5. Three cups chicken hot pot:

This dish made me to think of my mother because it was a common dishat the dinner table before I got married.

It made me homesick. So Mom, could you teach me how to cook it perfectly when I go back to Taiwan.

Then when I have homesickness, I can cure myself.

I recommend the above-mentioned dishes!

I hope you enjoy Taiwanese food and also my article.
