One of Taiwan greatest culinary contribution to the world is vinegar. It is made in small workshops much like boutique wineries. We may appreciate an aged balsamic, but the Taiwanese vinegars are not used on food. They are drank like a healing tonic and they taste sooooo very good.

The main difference is that the Taiwanese vinegars are not sour but taste sweet like a rich liquor but without the alcohol (created naturally from the fruit juices).

I bought a variety of aged tasty fruit vinegars to take back to NZ.


The good news is that they sell them in Auckland too.
Here is a link to the stores:

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
