seven consecutive paragraphs:

"Perhaps the best surprise in Taiwan came next, though. After a relaxing train ride back to Taipei city, we exited the station and decided to take a side street back to our hotel. We passed a tiny restaurant that had its kitchen conveniently located street-side where three women sat rolling up fresh dumplings of some kind. We couldn’t tell what they were exactly, but we had to try them.

"We went inside and one of the women searched around through some papers and drawers before pulling out an English version of the menu, which featured variations of wonton soup, noodle bowls and a la carte wontons.

"We ordered what the guy at the next table was eating. He was leaned over his steaming bowl of soup and slurping up the noodles and broth with chopsticks and a spoon.

"When it arrived, we, too, instinctively hovered over the bowl. We could smell the freshness — we knew before we tasted it that these women knew how to cook.

"And then we tasted it and had one of those moments where we just looked at each other and knew that we were in the presence of greatness. The broth was complex and delicate, but the wontons were the real stars — soft and silky, filled with tender pork and cooked to perfection. The flavors were a beautiful balance between ginger, pork, scallions, fresh wonton dough and soy.

"We slurped the bowl clean and ordered another round, plus a wonton-only appetizer that impressed us even more than the soup. It came covered in a ginger sauce and just a tiny bit of soy-based sauce in the bottom of the bowl. The wontons broke apart with the slightest prod from the spoon, and as cliché as it may sound, they literally melted in our mouths.

"We walked around the city and thought about these wontons for the rest of the day.
