‘I always go for chana masala, naan’: Prez Tsai Ing-wen says Taiwan is lucky to have Indian restaurants


Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has spoken about her fondness for Indian food, saying that the East Asian country was fortunate to host many Indian restaurants and that local people “love” them.

Ing-wen took to Twitter to say that she loves eating chana masala and naan and that the tea is reminiscent of her visits to India. “# Taiwan is fortunate to host many Indian restaurants, and Taiwanese people love them. I always look for chana masala and naan, while #chai always takes me back to my travels in #India and the memories of a vibrant, diverse and colorful country. What are your favorite Indian dishes? “wrote on the microblogging website.

Along with the tweet, he shared a photo of a delicious bowl of rice, naan, a colorful salad, and various dishes, including the Taiwanese president’s favorite chana masala and a cup of tea next to it.

Foreign leaders’ love of Indian food is not uncommon. In May, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison made the popular Indian snack samosa at home during the shutdown in various countries due to the coronavirus pandemic and tagged his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in a tweet sharing the images.

“Sunday ScoMosas with mango chutney, all made from scratch, including the chutney! Too bad my meeting with @narendramodi this week is by videolink. They are vegetarians, I would have liked to share them with him, ”Morrison had posted on Twitter.

Modi also responded by saying that the samosas looked delicious and that she hoped to enjoy the snack together after the pandemic. “Connected by the Indian Ocean, joined by Samosa India! You look delicious, PM @ScottMorrisonMP! Once we achieve a decisive victory against COVID-19, we will enjoy the Samosas together. We look forward to our video meeting on the 4th, ”he tweeted.
