When a group of friends in Taiwan go out to eat in a restaurant, we share food with each other 我們台灣叫[大排檔](Sidewalk snack booth)或是[熱炒店] (Stir-fries (Stir-fried Food) Restaurant/Shop)
Try everything at least once.....you might find your "true love". I have met a foreigner who tried a thousand-year-old egg before knowing what he was eating, but fall in love with it.
