Ordinary Looking Bun but Extraordinary in Taste
Taipei has a lot of finger foods that are worth mentioning, and one of my favorites is known to local Chinese as Hu Jiao Bing 胡椒餅. This is a clenched fist sized bun stuffed with scallions and peppered pork and stick it into a massive metallic trash can of fire to cook. There is actually one famous makeshift stall selling these pepper buns situated at the night market 饒河夜市.
As you can see a lot of people are standing in line, what is nice in here because you can witness how they make the bun in front of you. However, there’s no joke in cooking this bun, it needs skill and technique in sticking the bun inside the baking pit, just imagine the intense heat inside.
The bun cooks real quick, creating a flimsy crisp layer at the bottom while the meat emits its tasty mix juices without being overcooked. This pepper bun kinda look plain or ordinary by looking outside but mind you, the inner fillings are abundant with marinated pork and scallions, which is really delectable. On the other hand, the sesame studded piece of bun is tasty as well, it is somewhat sweet and chewy but dense layer of bread.
Each bun cost NT$45 equivalent to US$1.25, so if given the chance, you should try this culinary crack in a form of bun. It is one of my best loved finger foods.
By looking at the bun, I know it’s super yummy. Have a wonderful day today, Mei Nue!
