Zhu Xue Gao! Challenging the Shocking Taiwanese Gourmet

Pig's Blood Cake (Zhu Xie Gao)

TaiwanTaipei, Linjiang Night Market

Food Travel Log
Encountering a deceptive yet delightful gourmet dish, I was confused by "zhu xie gao" (pig's blood cake). Made by steaming pig’s blood mixed with glutinous rice, it had a chewy texture. The peanut powder and cilantro demanded my brain to process the flavors. While it’s delicious once accustomed, the initial experience requires some courage. Don’t judge by first impressions; the second try is the real test.
