Trivia
[For Everyone] Characterized by being slightly longer, thicker, and more flexible than Japanese Yakitori skewers. Night markets assume walking-eating, so 'chopsticks' are rarely provided; everything is done with this skewer. Tossing the used skewer into the giant trash bin (bag) at the night market entrance is the Taiwan night routine.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Skewer the 'fried Taiwanese basil (Jiucengta)' and 'garlic bits' included in the Yansuji bag along with the meat to eat in one bite!
