My favorite food is a Chinese dish named sour and spicy soup. It's called 川菜汤 in Chinese, and the ingredients include fish, special sauce, chili oil, lamb, and possibly some coriander. I actually don't know that much about how to cook it, but I think they prepare it by cutting the fish into small pieces and adding lamb for a sour taste, along with chili oil for a bit of spice. Moreover, they add coriander, the vegetable, and boil it together. The reason why I really like it is that the taste of the soup makes me feel refreshed when I eat it. The mix of flavors is quite good; the sour and spicy combination is not plain, and I can eat it with rice. This dish is special to me because the first time I ate it was when I was in Master Diki in Taiwan. This was the first dish I tried when I landed in Taiwan, and it was my first meal. So, I kept the memory of that experience close to my heart.
