Trying Pig Blood Cake 豬血糕 for the First Time!

Forgive me for my not-so-professional food review, as this video is not planned XD. This is my first time trying the Pig Blood Cake 豬血糕! #豬血糕 #pigbloodcake #taiwanfood
Taiwanese pig blood cake, also known as "pig's blood pudding," is a popular street food delicacy in Taiwan. It's made primarily from pork blood mixed with sticky rice or soy broth, along with various seasonings. Once combined, the mixture is typically formed into a rectangular, cubical, or in this video, triangle shape and then steamed or fried.
In terms of taste and texture, pig blood cake offers a unique culinary experience. The texture is dense and slightly chewy, owing to the coagulated blood and rice or soy mixture. When cooked, it develops a crispy outer layer if fried, adding a contrasting crunch to the otherwise soft interior.
The flavor profile is savory and robust, with a deep, earthy richness derived from the pork blood. (If they cut down the salt level, it will be better, as it's a bit too salty for my taste). Its flavor hints at iron, akin to other blood-based dishes, yet this is harmonized by the infusion of seasonings such as soy sauce, garlic, and an array of spices. Savory notes take the lead, while a delicate sweetness emerges from the rice or soy base, culminating in a balanced and nuanced taste profile.
Overall, the taste of Taiwanese pig blood cake is distinct and might be an acquired taste for some due to its unique combination of flavors and texture. It is also a cheap street food, with prices ranging from 20 to 60 New Taiwan Dollars (TWD) per piece. (The cost of pig blood cake can vary depending on several factors, such as the location, vendor, and serving size).
It's a beloved street food in Taiwan, appreciated by many for its bold, hearty essence and its embodiment of the local culinary heritage.
