EP94 Lienchiang Nangan | The Garden Party Trap

Episode 94 keeps us on Nangan, Matsu — standing at the foot of the towering Mazu Giant Statue, the 28.8-metre goddess who watches over the sea from the island's highest point. From here, you can see the entire strait, the harbour below, and on clear days, the mainland coast. Nearby is the Matsu Tianhou Temple, the oldest Mazu temple in the archipelago, where fishermen have been praying for safe passage for centuries. We eat two of Matsu's most essential comfort foods: Old Wine Noodles — thin misua noodles tossed in the island's aged rice wine with egg and sesame oil, a dish that warms you from the inside out; and Jiguang Bing — savoury sesame-crusted biscuits with a chewy centre, originally baked for soldiers and still a beloved staple. And the story reaches its dramatic tension point: a garden party where everything looks perfect, Sun Wukong is the only one who can see through the disguise, and he has to find a way to prove the "princess" is a demon — while everyone else is enjoying the party and wishes he would stop.Location: Nangan, MatsuFood: Old Wine Noodles | Jiguang Bing
