Taiwan is famous for its food. To many of us, it is like heaven for foodies (吃货). Whether you go to restaurants or night markets, there will always be delicious food. The following are four classic Taiwan dishes.
| 
Oyster omelet(蚵仔煎；牡蛎煎) It seems like it would be easy to make an omelet. But the special ingredients (成分) are what make the oyster omelet unique (独特的). They include oysters, bean sprouts (豆芽) and sweet potato starch (薯粉). What makes a good oyster omelet? People from Taiwan have their own secret — The bigger the oysters, the better. |
| 
Coffin (棺材) bread The name may sound scary but the food is just the opposite. People cut the toast (吐司面包) into the shape of a box and make a lid (盖) with the rest. The lid makes it look like a coffin. In the “coffin”, there is a seafood soup with pork, mushrooms, peas and carrots. Just break off bits of the bread walls as you eat your way through the soup. |
| 
Drunken Chicken Drunken Chicken dishes in Taiwan are usually cooked with Shaoxing wine. Some restaurants even serve these dishes with lots of herbs and vegetables. If you like eating meat but don’t want to put on weight, you could try this instead of fried and oily street food. |
| 
Beef noodles This simple dish means a lot to the city of Taipei. They even have a festival for it every year. Put hand-pulled noodles in a spicy (辣的) soup, top it with beef, vegetables, and pickled greens (腌菜), and a bowl of tasty beef noodles is finished. Most places don’t make the soup too spicy because Taiwanese are not traditionally used to be heat. |

Milk is the most complete food in the world. It has many things that we need to help us grow. It can give us energy and good health. Milk is a food enjoyed by people of all ages as we can easily digest it.
Milk is produced by all mother animals to feed their babies after they are born. Some such as cows produce more milk than their young ones need, so the extra milk is used by people.
