What's Taiwanese food like? What sort of dishes? I'm sure it's a bit different than Chinese, hell, Chinese is different depending upon where in China you are. I'm not really that familiar with Chinese food other than the normal US-style Chinese staples like beef-broccoli, beef-pepper, lo mein, chow mein, kung poa chicken.

So, I'm curious, how's Taiwanese different from mainland Chinese? I'd assume primarily seafood? One of these days, I need to get over to the west coast and get someone to show me some authentic Chinese of various styles. I generally love most things Asian. I'd like to know more about Chinese food than the usual stuff that's made in every restaurant chain in the US.
