20世紀初期,迅速發展的城市「臺中」以新設立的火車站周邊商業繁盛區為中心,街頭巷尾匯聚了大量小吃攤與餐館。臺中的現代飲食文化,正是隨著經濟移民不斷湧入與流動而不斷演變成形。作家楊双子以她對臺中舊城區的深厚情感與敏銳味覺,撰寫出這本兼具風味與情感的作品,精選二十家在地小吃攤,勾勒出家鄉獨具魅力的庶民美食文化。 讀者不僅能隨文踏上一趟量身訂製的風味之旅,更能深入了解這些攤商背後的生命故事,及其在臺中城市歷史中所占的重要地位。所選攤商皆因其味道與故事之動人而入選,是每位造訪者必嘗、回味無窮的臺中「美食體驗」。
In the early 1900s, the growing colonial city of Taichung (then known as Taichū) centered on the bustling commercial district surrounding the city’s new train station, where a plethora of food vendors and restaurants could be found. Taichung’s modern food culture has been shaped and reshaped by the flow of economic migrants to and through this city. Yang Shuang-Zi weaves into this engaging work an intimate familiarity with modern Taichung’s “old town” and her discerning palate, spotlighting twenty vendors that capture the unique snack food culture of her city. Readers not only receive a grand tour of the many made-to-order treats on offer but also learn the stories of these vendors and their place in the fabric of Taichung history. The featured vendors were selected for the emotive quality of both their stories and flavors. These are the local foodie “experiences” that visitors to the city are sure to remember long after they return home.
