Taiwanese street food |
A trip to Taiwan isn't complete without a visit to one of its famous night markets. They're open everyday in the evening and have become a gathering ground for tourists and locals alike. In addition to cheap bargain deals, Taiwan's night markets are vital destinations to experience some of the country's best small eats. Here's a food tour of five Taiwan night markets near the Taipei area, pulled together by those busy guys atSerious Eats. Each night market has its own history and personality even if the shaved ice and bun offerings start to look repetitive.
Shilin: Fried Stinky Tofu The fermented stinky tofu at Shilin Market is one of the most iconic Taiwanese small eats. It comes with pickled vegetables on the side.
Raohe: Fukushima Circle Pies In Chinese they're called "fudao yuanyuan shao," or Fukushima circle pies. Japanese small eats tend to be extremely popular in Taiwan, and this still was not an exception. What it is: a fried pie with baked egg and ham inside coated with a lot of mayo and bonito flakes. Optional wasabi on the side. The outer batter is similar to the stuff they use for takoyaki.
Shilin: Snails Yep, these are land snails. Pluck them out with the skewers or if you're more skilled, suck them right out of the shell. |
