Translator: Lan_ Editor: Efydatia

The local film industry had gone through many ups and downs . It had experienced both wars and politics, and during the late 1980s, it had observed from the sidelines the rise and fall of the mainland's film industry .

As the Chinese film industry bloomed, more and more films participated in the exclusive film festival . Ke Ke Xi Li, which was a mainland film, had reached the final round thanks to its unique humanistic nature and realistic shooting technique .

Among the familiar Hong Kong actors, people saw a popular Asian star called Qin Guan . As the protagonist of "Ke Ke Xi Li", he was one of the nominees for the Best Actor Award .

All the other nominees were more famous than him in Hong Kong and Taiwan . The nominees were Liang Chaowei from "2046", Liu Dehua from "Infernal Affairs III", and Zhang Xueyou from "Golden Chicken" .

They were all representatives of the best actors in Hong Kong, compared to whom Qin Guan seemed weak .





When Qin Guan reached Taipei, he didn't feel uncomfortable . It looked like a regular city in South China . He just felt annoyed with the standard Mandarin of the Taiwanese .

Qin Guan had good friends in Taiwan, so two beautiful women welcomed him at the airport . Xu Ruoxuan and Lin Zhiling attracted a lot of attention .

The keen Taiwanese paparazzi had been waiting at the airport for them . Fortunately, Wang was a very capable girl . The two ladies showed up at the exit at the same time, so that the newspapers the next day wouldn't accuse Qin Guan of having a secret girlfriend in Taiwan .

This would be the opposite of Qin Guan's aim, which was to just attend the festival as quietly as possible .

Unfortunately, the reporters stuck around Qin Guan like flies around honey . Flashing lights twinkled everywhere as some brave guys shouted at him .

"Are you confident about winning the award?"

"Liu Dehua almost won the award last year . He seems really confident this time . What do you think of him?"

"Will the Golden Horse Festival be the end of your success?"

Everyone glowered at the idiot .

No judge would dare cause Qin Guan's failure in Taiwan . That would not be a smart idea . After more than 40 years, the film industry on the island was fading . The Golden Horse Festival only kept going so it could save its dignity .

If it weren't for the superstars, no one would be paying attention to a festival on such a tiny island . In an effort to flatter the mainlanders, the organizers had even replaced Zheng Yuling, the exclusive female distinguished guest, with Lin Zhiling, because of her recent success on the Chinese mainland .





They were certainly not brave enough to cause the award-winning actor's failure .

Taking advantage of this, Qin Guan escaped with the two ladies . The reporters regretted their words when they came back to their senses . They had missed the chance to get any useful information from him .

As soon as he reached his hotel, Qin Guan got lost in the delicious food of Taipei . The city was famous for its night markets . Only in its noisy, bustling markets did the stars get the chance to relax and focus on the food .

Foodies loved traditional night markets, as authentic tastes could only be found there . There was a variety of food available, including sticky tofu, fried squid tentacles and frog eggs . The most famous specialty there though was oyster omelette .

Just as its name implied, the omelette was made of fried oysters and eggs . Most people from the Chinese mainland couldn't tolerate its strange taste, as it was hard for the cook to clean all the oysters properly . Plus, oysters were not suitable for old people .

This was actually Qin Guan's favorite .

He followed the two ladies' suggestion and led his team to the busiest night market in Taipei . The oysters there came from Lok-kang and they were caught the same day at the harbor and transported to Taipei .

The fresh oysters looked large, tasty and juicy, so one portion per person would be enough . The owner of the stand was busy frying the oysters . A large pan of ingredients could satisfy 10 people, but he had to work consistently in order to feed his customers .

Qin Guan was waiting in line in leisure . Even waiting for such a snack was fun .

When the fresh oysters were half-cooked, the man poured egg whites, sweet potato powder, seafood juice and other spices to create a pancake . After a short while, the mixture turned golden yellow .

He divided the large pancake into smaller portions and put them on dishes . When he added a little hot sauce, they became authentic Taiwanese style oyster and eggs . The dish was soft and tasted like seafood . It tasted like the lifestyle and romanticism of the people in the city .

The history of that snack was filled with heroism .
