Shui jian bao (水煎包) (pinyin with tones: shuǐ jiān bāo), looks like a thick disk, is a common snack you can find in traditional breakfast shops or at street vendors in Taiwan. Similar to bao zi (包子, steamed stuffed bun), shui jian bao comes with stuffing such as minced pork, cabbages, or leeks.

 

Shui Jian Bao (水煎包) VS. Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包)

Both shui jian bao and sheng jian bao (生煎包) (pinyin with tones: shēng jiān bāo) are first fried with oil and then steamed by adding water into the pan. The different things are in the shape and the mouthfeel of dough. Shui jian bao looks like a thick disk and has soft bread outside with full of stuffing. Sheng jian bao, on the contrary, highlights its crispy dough on the bottom and a scatter of sesame on the top; besides, its size is just a little bit larger than a ping pong ball.

 


「小時候(約幼稚園的時候)，我們家週末會開車到建國花市那條路旁邊，在一間老舊且有著深褐色木製桌椅的水煎包店吃早餐。他們的水煎包底部的皮是很硬很脆很有嚼勁的，豆漿是豆香味很濃還帶有點渣渣的。從某一次去沒找著那間店，以為是那天休息沒開，到後來幾次去都撲了個空，才漸漸接受記憶中的水煎包就此停留在記憶中......」——Mosa 回憶

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
