台湾的夜市和小吃名闻国际，美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)旅游网站刊出45种　不可或缺的台湾小吃，包含卤肉饭、牛肉面、蚵仔煎、吴宝春面包等...哪一种是你的最爱？让来自 CNN Travel 的香港正妹记者 Hiufu Wong，以亲自吃过的体验列出45种你不能错过的台湾美食，好吃报给大家知！

1. Braised pork rice　卤肉饭

The popularity of this humble (不起眼的) dish cannot be overstated.

A good bowl of lurou fan comprises finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly (五花肉), slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce (酱油) with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice.

A little sweet, a little salty, braised pork rice is comfort food perfected.

卤肉饭几乎可以等于是台湾小吃的代名词，肥瘦适中的卤肉、又甜又咸的酱汁，淋在白饭上搅拌著吃，就是一碗几乎完美的卤肉饭。看似不起眼，却散发出浓浓的台湾味！

2. Beef noodles　牛肉面

Beef noodle soup inspires competitiveness and innovation in chefs. Everyone wants to claim the title of beef noodle king. It's almost impossible to have a bad beef noodle experience in Taiwan.

名列第二的牛肉面，不仅为厨师们带来挑战，也不断创新，每名厨师都希望能够赢得牛肉面大王的美誉，各家都有自己的私房小撇步。浓郁的汤头、有嚼劲的牛肉和Q弹的面条，这就是台湾牛肉面的魅力！

3. Oyster omelet　蚵仔煎

Here's a snack that really showcases the fat of the land in Taiwan. You've got something from the sea and something from the soil.

The eggs are the perfect foil for the little oysters easily found around the island, while sweet potato starch (番薯粉) is added to give the whole thing a gooey (黏稠的) chewiness (口感) -- a signature Taiwan food texture.

蚵仔煎将大地与海洋的滋味融为一体，鸡蛋搭配蚵仔，再加上甜美的蕃茄酱料，味道堪称完美，前些年，还被远见杂志评为最具代表性的台湾小吃。

4. Bubble Tea　珍珠奶茶

Bubble tea represents the "QQ" food texture that Taiwanese love. The phrase refers to something that is especially chewy (有嚼劲的), like the tapioca balls forming the "bubbles" in bubble tea.

珍珠奶茶已俨然成为外国游客游台的必喝饮品，1998年开始在台湾风行，QQ、有嚼劲的粉圆的以及丰富的茶饮选择，别说你的外国朋友没问过珍珠奶茶！

5. Milkfish　虱目鱼

How popular is milkfish in Taiwan? So popular that it has its own themed museum in Anping (安平) and there's a milkfish cultural festival in Kaohsiung. The bony fish (硬骨鱼) might pose a challenge for amateurs, but it’s loved for its tender meat (肉质细嫩) and economical price tag (价格实惠). Milkfish is prepared in numerous ways - in a congee porridge (粥), pan-fried (煎), as fish ball soup or braised (红烧).

虱目鱼的欢迎程度，可在台南安平的虱目鱼博物馆以及高雄的虱目鱼节中看出端倪，对不擅吃鱼的人来说，多刺的虱目鱼可能是种挑战，但价格便宜再加上肉质细嫩，以及多种调味方式，让虱目鱼名列第五。

6. Danzai Noodles　担仔面

The bowl of Danzai noodles is served in shrimp soup with bean sprouts (豆芽菜), coriander (香菜), minced pork and fresh shrimps. The bowl of comforting flavors is so addictive.

豆芽菜、香菜、肉末和新鲜的虾子，担仔面的清爽不油腻，让人不上瘾都难！

7. Pan-fried bun　生煎包

Like the fluffiness (蓬松) of cake and the crunchiness (酥脆) of potato chips? The pan-fried bun gives you the best of both worlds. The buns are made with spongy white Chinese bread that is pan-fried on the bottom. Break one open to reveal the moist (多汁的) porky filling.

喜欢蛋糕膨松的口感，或是洋芋片酥脆的感觉，生煎包让你一次满足！

8. Gua Bao　割包

It's a hamburger, Taiwan-style. A steamed (蒸) bun sandwiches a hearty (营养丰富的) filling of braised pork belly, pickled Chinese cabbage (酸菜) and powdered peanuts (花生粉). The filling is chopped into small pieces and mixed together so there's a bit of everything in every bite. Take a big mouthful and enjoy the salty, sour and sweet flavors and the greasy (油腻的) pork swimming in your mouth.

割包可以说是台湾人的汉堡，蒸过的割包夹上控肉、酸菜和花生粉，大口大口咬下，咸酸甜的滋味真是有够赞！

9. Iron Egg　铁蛋

It's called "iron egg" because it's so tough. These chewy eggs dyed black from long-braising in soy sauce are a highly addictive Taiwanese food.

铁蛋之所以名为铁蛋，当然就是它超具嚼劲的口感，黑色的外表是因为在酱油中反复焖煮而来，是个很容易让人上瘾的台湾美食。

10. Pineapple Cake　凤梨酥

This iconic (具指标性的) Taiwanese pastry (糕点) - mini-pies filled with candied (糖渍的) pineapple -- is one of Taiwan's best food souvenirs (伴手礼).

台湾最具指标性的糕点－凤梨酥，也是最佳的伴手礼！
