I spent anywhere from one to two hours a day on the metro while I studied abroad in Paris. At times the ride could feel endless, contemplative, and sometimes even meditative.

One of the best things about visiting Taiwan as a kid was going to the night markets. I’d play games and stuff my face with good food, and all would be right with the world. It was during these visits when I was introduced to gua bao (pork belly sandwich), one of the staples of night market cuisine.

A good gua bao can be difficult to find the US, especially if you don’t live in a big city. And even when you can find it, it can be expensive—so my mom learned to make her own gua bao so we could have it in the US too.

There’s no dignified way to eat a gua bao. If your feel overcome with the desire to stuff it in your face, do it. Be free.

A love letter.

When it comes to doujiang youtiao, the food itself—a steaming bowl of fresh soy milk and a crispy-on-the-outside-fluffy-on-the-inside stick of fried dough (wrapped in an optional flaky flatbread, if you want extra comfort in your comfort food)—is of course the main attraction, but the ambience is just as much a part of the experience.

To wit: no doujiang youtiao breakfast is truly complete without you almost wiping out as you slide your way back to your table over tiles slicked with decades of fryer oil while a group of a-ma argue politics in a corner.

Just a pair of Maine coon brothers.
