When winter arrives in Taiwan people get serious about eating. As another cold front sweeps down across the island. Thousands of motorists and shoppers bundle up in heavy jackets, gloves, and ski-caps. Not too sure why... it really isn't that cold.
The soup restaurants are packed with customers. The empty night markets leave stall owners no choice but to close early. The temperatures on the island are still well above freezing, but Taiwan's moist air and lack of central heating make the weather seem deceptively colder. It is on days like this that many Chinese turn to steaming broths and stews specially prepared with Chinese herbs to warm the body and fend off colds.
