Taiwan Bento Soymilk: When it comes to beverages, the Taiwanese just do them better. Classics like Apple Sidra and Hey Song are much less sweet than American sodas, taste crisper, and are simply more interesting. What I'm rating today isn't a bottled or canned product, but it's representative of the same qualities. At Taiwan Bento, a shop close to the 19th street Oakland BART station that specializes in Taiwanese street food like gua bao and five-spice fried chicken, they make an excellent housemade soy milk. If you haven't had Taiwanese soy milk, please do yourself a favor and find a Taiwanese or Chinese restaurant that sells it. It's typically a staple of Taiwanese breakfast (which means they usually run out by dinner time). The drink tastes strongly of tofu, a much more neutral taste than vanilla Silk, and is also thinner in consistency. I purchased the lightly sweetened version, which was just right. An energizing, healthful, and delicious beverage that I highly recommend! 4.0/5.0
