When Zhao Yanjun， a chemistry major at the University of Science and Technology Beijing， looks back to her exchange days at Tunghai University in Taiwan， the first thing she remembers is sausage wrapped in glutinous rice. Just as the name suggests， its a carb-loaded rice mixture wrapped around a baked sausage. “The baked sausage looks oily， but doesnt taste greasy， and the rice is soft with a crispy skin，” Zhao says. Among the different flavors， which include spicy， black pepper and wasabi， Zhao recommends the wasabi flavor. “Its a little strange at first， but its very refreshing.”

A fascinating sunset on the docks and tasty mochi — the memory is still fresh for Chen Yujia， 23， a human resources management major at Renmin University of China. In 2012， she went to Taiwan to attend a summer school. One day， on the way back to her hotel after watching the sunset in New Taipei City with her friends， Chen tried the snack for the first time. “We ordered two kinds of mochi. One was cold and without any soup. It was a soft mochi wrapped in peanut powder and had a refreshing taste，” Che says. “The other was a hot mochi drenched in a lightly sweetened red bean soup. It was a very satisfying meal.”
