The aroma is a kind of charred fragrant fish freshness.

Chen Mo held the Jigula and left the line, taking a big bite.

"Wow!"

The grilled golden fish paste has a crispy surface, with a chewy and gelatinous texture inside, creating a very intriguing mouthfeel.

The taste is purely the fresh and fragrant flavor of the fish, seemingly without any other flavors, perhaps due to the absence of added seasonings.

"Although it’s quite tasty, I think adding some ketchup might make it even better..."

Chen Mo finished the Jigula in two bites, and under the subtle influence of the new skills, he could figure out how to make this snack with just a couple of bites, not to mention he had observed the process for a moment earlier.

What puzzled Chen Mo was that if the fish paste were directly spread flat on a device for grilling, the efficiency might be higher, but it’s unclear why the vendor chose metal pipes instead.

Of course, every snack from every place has its unique way of preparation and significance, and these are not things to get hung up on.

Keep walking forward.

Chen Mo saw a stall with "Oyster Omelette" written on it and couldn’t resist buying a portion.

While in school, he watched a drama called Corner with Love, where the characters almost ate this every day.

"Hmm, the marinated oysters are pan-fried in oil, with cabbage and carrot strips added when they are eighty percent done, then fully cooked with egg mixture poured over and fried together, and eaten with soy sauce."

The taste was quite good, yet it felt as if something was missing, an indescribable sensation.

Keep walking, Chen Mo ate small intestine wrapped in large intestine, Dīngbiāncuò, and thin noodles.

Feeling fuller and fuller, just as he was about to leave the night market, Chen Mo suddenly paused in front of a stall, staring at the snack name on the sign, utterly bewildered.

"Coffin Board? No way... This can be a snack?"

Chen Mo was genuinely dumbfounded.

There weren’t many people in front of this stall, and for whatever reason, Chen Mo decided he must try it!

What could this be that dares to have such a name?

Arriving at the stall, he skillfully ordered one from the owner.

The owner retrieved a piece of bread fried to a golden crisp, adeptly lifting one side with a knife and then scooped out the soft interior using a spoon.

"It feels a bit like making tofu boxes, but substituting the tofu with bread."

As he watched, Chen Mo memorized the preparation method.

Then, he watched as the owner added a pre-mixed variety of ingredients into the pot to cook them with broth; the ingredients were finely chopped and cooked quickly over high heat.

Chen Mo noticed the owner starting to thicken the sauce, surprisingly using milk instead of wet starch!

He couldn’t help but be amazed.

"The food preparation here is really bizarre and diverse."

Then the thickened broth and ingredients were poured into the bread box, and the soft, sticky side of the previously lifted bread was dressed with salad dressing.

Holding this snack, Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

In literal terms, it does make sense, pouring the ingredients into the "coffin" and covering it with the "coffin board."

But this name isn’t down-to-earth; it’s a straightforward Underworld connection!

After paying, Chen Mo first took a bite of the outer bread layer, which tasted just like normal fried bread, not much different from fried steamed buns.

When he got to the filling, Chen Mo chewed slowly, letting his taste buds recognize the various ingredients.

"Chicken liver, chicken kidney, chicken meat, peas, potatoes, carrots, sweet potato flour, squid, shrimp meat!"

"Interesting, such a small snack contains so many ingredients; it combines the sweetness of seafood and the flavor of meat, and the milk makes the filling smoother."

"Tsk..."

After finishing the coffin board in a few bites, Chen Mo left, retracing his steps.

This snack gives off a fusion of Chinese and Western influences; the filling resembles a Western soup’s preparation method, and even the ingredient selection leans towards Western cuisine.

But the cooking method has some Chinese features.

Feeling full, Chen Mo returned to the parking lot where the food truck was. It’s worth mentioning that although he only visited one night market, the snacks here really gave him quite a surprise.

Whether in ingredient selection, cooking methods, or flavor preferences, they are vastly different from the Inland area, making it a great experience to taste something novel.

The night market economy here is also surprisingly appealing, with prices and snacks closely aligned with the lives of ordinary people.

No exaggeration, carrying thirty Yuan and wandering around for two hours could allow one to taste at least four or five different snacks. You can eat well and feel full.

Lying in bed, Chen Mo, curious as ever, began exploring the history and culture of Taiwan’s cuisine through a system.

After reading up on relevant content, Chen Mo recalled the snacks he had today, and it indeed made sense.

On one hand, there’s the Min Nan flavor; most snacks here have a presence of the Fujian region, then there are Hakka elements, often characterized by savory and pickled tastes.

It also seems to be influenced by Japanese cuisine, as he saw many localized sashimi and oden on the streets, along with numerous influences from other provinces like Sichuan beef noodles and Jiangsu and Zhejiang soup dumplings at the night market. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Interestingly enough... even Shandong steamed buns are popular local snacks.

Today, Chen Mo only tried snacks, but he plans to visit a slightly better restaurant tomorrow to taste some local dishes.

A beautiful day thus came to an end.

With the comfort of good food, even sleep becomes especially sweet and fragrant.
