台灣的夜市和小吃名聞國際，美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)旅遊網站刊出45種　不可或缺的台灣小吃，包含滷肉飯、牛肉麵、蚵仔煎、吳寶春麵包等...哪一種是你的最愛？讓來自 CNN Travel 的香港正妹記者 Hiufu Wong，以親自吃過的體驗列出45種你不能錯過的台灣美食，好吃報給大家知！

1. Braised pork rice　滷肉飯

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 (醬油) 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.

滷肉飯幾乎可以等於是台灣小吃的代名詞，肥瘦適中的滷肉、又甜又鹹的醬汁，淋在白飯上攪拌著吃，就是一碗幾乎完美的滷肉飯。看似不起眼，卻散發出濃濃的台灣味！

2. Beef noodles　牛肉麵

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.

名列第二的牛肉麵，不僅為廚師們帶來挑戰，也不斷創新，每名廚師都希望能夠贏得牛肉麵大王的美譽，各家都有自己的私房小撇步。濃郁的湯頭、有嚼勁的牛肉和Q彈的麵條，這就是台灣牛肉麵的魅力！

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.

蚵仔煎將大地與海洋的滋味融為一體，雞蛋搭配蚵仔，再加上甜美的蕃茄醬料，味道堪稱完美，前些年，還被遠見雜誌評為最具代表性的台灣小吃。

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 (有嚼勁的), like the tapioca balls forming the "bubbles" in bubble tea.

珍珠奶茶已儼然成為外國遊客遊台的必喝飲品，1998年開始在台灣風行，QQ、有嚼勁的粉圓的以及豐富的茶飲選擇，別說你的外國朋友沒問過珍珠奶茶！

5. Milkfish　虱目魚

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 (硬骨魚) might pose a challenge for amateurs, but it’s loved for its tender meat (肉質細嫩) and economical price tag (價格實惠). Milkfish is prepared in numerous ways - in a congee porridge (粥), pan-fried (煎), as fish ball soup or braised (紅燒).

虱目魚的歡迎程度，可在台南安平的虱目魚博物館以及高雄的虱目魚節中看出端倪，對不擅吃魚的人來說，多刺的虱目魚可能是種挑戰，但價格便宜再加上肉質細嫩，以及多種調味方式，讓虱目魚名列第五。

6. Danzai Noodles　擔仔麵

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、肉末和新鮮的蝦子，擔仔麵的清爽不油膩，讓人不上癮都難！

7. Pan-fried bun　生煎包

Like the fluffiness (蓬鬆) 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.

喜歡蛋糕膨鬆的口感，或是洋芋片酥脆的感覺，生煎包讓你一次滿足！

8. Gua Bao　割包

It's a hamburger, Taiwan-style. A steamed (蒸) bun sandwiches a hearty (營養豐富的) 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 (油膩的) pork swimming in your mouth.

割包可以說是台灣人的漢堡，蒸過的割包夾上控肉、酸菜和花生粉，大口大口咬下，鹹酸甜的滋味真是有夠讚！

9. Iron Egg　鐵蛋

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.

鐵蛋之所以名為鐵蛋，當然就是它超具嚼勁的口感，黑色的外表是因為在醬油中反覆燜煮而來，是個很容易讓人上癮的台灣美食。

10. Pineapple Cake　鳳梨酥

This iconic (具指標性的) Taiwanese pastry (糕點) - mini-pies filled with candied (糖漬的) pineapple -- is one of Taiwan's best food souvenirs (伴手禮).

台灣最具指標性的糕點－鳳梨酥，也是最佳的伴手禮！

看完前十名，有人跟小編一樣肚子餓的嗎？
