A woman was selling fish paste at the market

Woman selling paste products in market — Woman selling paste products

At Chenggong Market, where many stores sold fresh food, there were also many stores selling prepared foods. Since it is said that working together is common in Taiwan, there must be a great need for easy-to-eat foods. The Chinese are very picky about food. In order to keep the locals buying, delicatessen shops must maintain a high level of quality. In fact, all the prepared foods sold at the market looked delicious.

The store in the photo was in the market. On the table was a pile of fish paste. The food is not meant to last that long, so this much fish paste can probably be processed in a day. At the end of the table, there is a pot with fish paste floating in it. I wondered if it was a tasting pot. As I stood by and watched, a female waitress began to offer the customers who had arrived a chance to try the boiled fish paste in the pot.

A-gei, which you can see in the back, is fried bean curd or deep-fried bean curd stuffed with vermicelli and closed with fish paste, and is a specialty of Tamsui, north of Taipei. The pronunciation is said to be derived from the Japanese word for fried bean curd (abura-age).
