Taipei Night Markets

August 14, 2016

My favorite thing about Taipei, without debate, is the large amount of night markets spread throughout the city. No one does night markets like Taiwan. My very first night in Taipei, I paid a visit to Ningxia Night Market where I enjoyed a bowl of Lu Rou Fan (minced meat over rice) and noodles. Throughout my week in Taipei, I also visited to Raohe, Shilin, and Keelung night market as well as Shenkeng Old Street and for stinky tofu.

My favorite thing I ate was the hujiao bing or Fuzhou Pepper Buns at Raohe Street Market. These buns are so good I think I had a religious experience while eating my first one and subsequently came back the next day to eat two more. I also stuffed my face on Lu Rou Fan, shaved ice, countless bowls of noodles and milk tea.

While Raohe was my favorite night market, Keelung was a close second. After watching Anthony Bourdain’s visit to Taiwan, I made sure to stop in Keelung and enjoy an oyster omelet and the best prok bao I have ever had in my life.

Overall, a trip to Taipei’s night markets should be #1 on everyone’s list. It’s worth a trip to Taiwan alone. I’m so grateful I had a chance to stuff my face and can’t wait to visit again soon 😀
