Starting from the first appetizer, shrimp dish (a food that is mixed with ground meat, shrimp, flour and other ingredients and then being fried), Dada Kim shouted excitedly that it is so delicious.
Later on, she tried Eel dish, steamed glutinous rice with crab meat, and duck casserole together with Taiwan's famous beverage apple cider. The food & drink combination is the traditional way of eating by Taiwanese and Dada Kim felt touched by the warm-hearted people who introduced the food to her.

Food catering is a tradition in Taiwan that celebrates weddings and year-end parties. People eat together at a round table and strangers sitting beside could get to know each other more by chatting and interacting with others. “We are like a family having dinner together and I feel a sense of kinship with them,” says Dada Kim.
