Taipei, Sept. 23 (CNA) The great variety of street eats and the laid-back atmosphere are Ian Wright’s top pleasures when eating out in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Travel & Living Channel (TLC) presenter said Friday ahead of a TLC picnic party in Taipei on Saturday.
“I don’t feel comfortable going somewhere that’s really posh,” said Wright, adding that the vibe on the streets always impresses him in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where he just completed the filming of a mini-series “A Taste of Hong Kong.”
Reviewing his favorite street food in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as clams with spicy sauce and sweet sausage, respectively, Wright said the two places both have their “heavenly cuisine,” which makes it difficult to judge which one is better.
For instance, Taiwan has the best small steamed dumplings and spicy hot pots, while Hong Kong’s chashao, ribs and crab broth are superior, he said. [FULL STORY]
