- Taiwanese Street Food: Sausages (香腸) You can even have them sandwiched between sticky rice, making for a succulent combination of chewy rice and crisp, juicy, sweet pork.

- Taiwanese sausages, known as "xiangchang," are a staple street food in Taiwan's night markets due to their sweetness and juiciness. The style of serving this sausage sandwiched in a sticky rice casing is affectionately called "da chang bao xiao chang," and its substantial portion is known to be addictive once tried. The defining characteristic of Taiwanese sausage is its sweetness, typically made using fatty pork cheek or belly meat, seasoned with sugar and wine. In "da chang bao xiao chang," the warm, moist sausage is wrapped in a sticky rice bun, creating a perfect blend of the rice's chewiness and the sausage's savory taste. At the Liuhe Night Market, strolling through the streets while enjoying this snack is a common habit for both locals and tourists. A recommended way to enjoy it is by alternating bites of sausage with raw garlic, creating a harmonious blend of the unique sweetness and the garlic's kick. On the other hand, it may be the unfortunate fate of modern life that the blog author finds himself in a troubling position at work the next day. Thanks to his newfound "enthusiasm for the sausage×garlic pairing," his colleagues might discover a new habit of keeping their distance from him the following day.
