Wanderlust Diary

Whenever you hear Taipei, it is often associated with night markets, experimental food and all those good bubble tea joints.

So we visited the top Taipei night markets to check out the best food finds there:

1. Raohe night market – jam-packed, famous for its huge red gate at the entrance

–Stinky tofu (this one reeks deliciously)

—Okonomiyaki — weirdly located at this street, was a bit starchy for my taste though

—Hu Jiao Bing– crusted bun with peppered pork and spring onion, this one is remarkably filling

—Two Peck Fried Chicken (surprisingly addicting, their flavored fried chicken instantly uplifts cravings)

–Snow desserts (on a hot day, this is a MUST!)

2. Shilin market made it here on a rainy day, amazingly, I survived with some eeeky wet shoes to go here at the main Shilin enclosed food market

Seriously, I can wondered why so many (I mean a big chunk of people, tourist and locals alike flock in this very cramped place) Beware!

Chinese sausage — huge aromatic..please share this to save space for the next treats

Deceiving Frog eggs! It’s actually Aiyu Jelly with lime juice

Oyster Misua — although it lacks flavor for me, I think it is a good try

Hot star large friend chicken — obviously famous because of its queue, it was flavorful and crispy but I wanted more! I don’t want to queue again…=(

Short visits:

Danshui Market
