Of FOOD in Taiwan









For someone who loves food (and shopping too), I was in love with the night markets in Taiwan. Night markets in Taiwan are always crowded and happening, and each of them differ in their own famous snacks. Some of the famous ones include Shihlin Night Market in Taipei and Feng Chia Night Market in Taichung. Most of the night markets operate daily, selling snacks and fast food, clothes, accessories, electrical devices etc..

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food” – George Bernard Shaw

There is also a Chinese saying “To the people, food is heaven”.

Thanks to the recommendation of my fellow Taiwanese friends, I was so blessed by indulging in good food every single day. Well Taiwan is definitely famous for their street food. Bubble tea, fried chicken fillet, stinky tofu, fried mushrooms, sausages, oyster omelette and so much scrumptious food available not only in night markets, and also restaurants, shops and wet market. How could one ever resist?!


They call this "small sausage within big sausage". Basically it's sausage wrapped in glutinous rice with some vege in it. You can see long queues especially in Feng Chia night market.

Mango ice. Must try especially during summer.



Drooling isn't it....

Besides snacks, beef noodles and braised pork rice are some of the must have in Taiwan.


Beef noodles. The best I've had from Jiu Fen, Taipei.

Before departing to Taiwan, Sorrano had warned me NOT to grow too fat in Taiwan. Haha.. I guess I didn’t disappoint her.
