Stay in Taipei Chapter

1. Taipei Night Market

The first thing I want to say is that there are many night markets in Taipei, big and small, and Shilin Night Market is definitely not the only one. It’s not the best place to eat, but the Gongguan Night Market, National Normal University Night Market, etc. are all very unique. To be honest, it takes several days. Considering that the main place everyone goes to Taipei is Shilin, then we will go to Shilin. Shilin is the main one, let me introduce the keywords for other night markets~

1) Shilin Night Market: Prince Cheese Potatoes, Shiquan Spare Ribs, Pepper Cake, Shrimp Cone, Large Intestine Wrapped in Small Intestine, Hao Big Chicken Steak, Lemon Ai Yuhao Big Chicken Chops

Hao Big Chicken Chops (Taipei Shilin Store)

Many people say that the Shilin Night Market Chicken Chops are the most delicious. In fact, in my opinion, they are at most the most famous. The only characteristic of Hao Big Chicken Steak is that it is big, but compared with NTU's sister chicken steak, it is much inferior. But in order not to leave any regrets, it’s okay to give it a try. But my personal suggestion is that one is enough for several people. One for one person is really too much.

Prince Cheese Potato

It is definitely the best thing I have ever eaten at Shilin Night Market. The outside is fried hot and crispy, but the inside is cold mashed potatoes, filled with ham, corn, vegetables...and topped with specially cooked rich cheese. It is absolutely delicious and praised! After waiting in line for more than half an hour, you will definitely have no regrets! It should be noted that there are two cheese potatoes that sell cheese potatoes. The author has probably eaten cheese potatoes 2 or 3 times in other places. Personally, I think only Shilin’s cheese potatoes are really good, and among the two, only Prince’s is better. It’s delicious, which can also be seen from the length of the queue.

Shiquan Spare Ribs

Shiquan Spare Ribs, it is said that it is simmered with Chinese medicine for two hours. I think the taste is average, but some children who do not eat meat find the soup very flavorful

Pepper Cake

The "pepper cake" freshly baked is a bit like when I was a child The sesame pancakes I ate were crispy on the outside and filled with meat and chives on the inside. When I took a bite, the gravy was rich and juicy. It was really good!

Shrimp Cone

Shrimp Cone~ It is very inconspicuous among the various delicacies in Shilin, but it is definitely a delicacy that is worth seeing~ The outside of the cone is crispy and fragrant, and the inside is vegetable and shrimp salad. The taste of the salad is not greasy. It is paired with green vegetables and shrimps. It is cool and sweet. It is a pleasant surprise.

Large intestine wrapped in small intestine.

A delicacy that can be found in the streets and alleys. The large intestine refers to the glutinous rice intestine on the outside, and the small intestine is naturally the inner part. Pan-fried pork sausage until crispy and tender. Personally, I think the most delicious small intestine wrapped in large intestines I have ever eaten is at the Normal University Night Market, and it seems to have been interviewed by many TV stations.

Lemon Aiyu

There are all kinds of cold drinks at the night market. In many cold drink stalls, you will see something similar to a big pot, and the appearance is very refreshing. This is the so-called Aiyu ~ a great plant fruit, transparent and sour in taste. Drink it with milk or juice. It is very refreshing and refreshing ~

What I want to say is that there are many in the streets and alleys of Taiwan. The milk tea and cold drink shop uses very real large cans of Lin Fengying's milk. The milk tea portions are also one large cup and one large cup, which is very practical. Basically, the large can on the top is a guarantee of pure taste and hygiene. .

2) Raohe Night Market Keywords: stinky tofu, pepper cake, Raohe night light

Raohe Night Market is my second favorite night market in Taiwan. This is the earliest tourist night market in Taipei. The food is not much different from other night markets, but it is definitely the most comfortable and romantic time in my trip to Taipei night markets. After visiting the night market, I took a big bag of delicious food and sat by the Rao River, looking at the rows of night lights and blowing the cool breeze. I really felt that the happiest and most beautiful life was nothing more than this.

Of course, Raohe Night Market also has its trump card, which is stinky tofu and pepper cakes. You can see the pepper cakes at the entrance, there is a long queue, and you can smell the rich aroma of the noodles from a distance.

The stinky tofu here is definitely unique among all night markets.It's a bit similar to the Shaoxing stinky tofu we tried, but the uniqueness lies in the ingredients. The thick soup, as well as the delicious chili and pickled cabbage, highlighted the freshness of the tofu. I remember the first time I went to Raohe, I bought two portions of stinky tofu.

3) Jingmei Night Market Keywords: QQ ice balls, moist cake rolls

In fact, Jingmei Night Market is really small, and compared with other tourist night markets, it is also much shabby, but this is definitely a Taiwanese night market with a strong local flavor, and the price It is also cheaper than other night markets. But the taste is actually pretty good.

Jingmei Night Market

There are many QQ and glutinous snacks in Taiwan, which feel very refreshing when you look at them. The so-called QQ ice balls~the outside is transparent glutinous rice ice skin, and the filling has many flavors: green tea, taro, mango. ..all my favorite!

Runbing Roll

Jingmei Night Market

For a guy like me who loves meat and hates meat, the taste of the Runbing Roll is actually relatively bland. But if you’ve eaten too much greasy chicken steak, you might as well try another refreshing dish.

4) Normal University Night Market Keywords: Ice and fire pineapple buns, wheat pancakes, pan-fried buns, crepes, braised meat, large intestines wrapped in small intestines, pizza cones

Normal University Night Market is the largest among many night markets in Taipei and has the most night market food. Basically, people of all tastes can find a sense of belonging there. Of course, this is also the night market I visited the most in Taiwan.

Ice and Fire Pineapple Buns

This is a delicacy highly recommended by Taiwanese sister Hui Hui. It is said that when there are many people, the queue will last for at least half an hour, so if you want to eat, it is best to go there early, around 4pm. The location is a bakery in a corner of the Normal University Night Market. There is actually no need to mention the location for many snacks in Taiwan. When you see a lot of people lining up, just follow them. The taste is really surprising. The outer shell of the pineapple bun is crispy, and it is coated with a layer of crispy coconut. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. What's even more amazing is that the layer of bread is hot, but the cheese inside is iced, very fragrant and delicious.

Wheat pancakes

Shida Night Market

A delicacy found in the streets and alleys of Taiwan, ancient pancakes~with many flavors: brown sugar, peanut, sesame, red bean, cream, cheese...the outside is a thin layer of skin , the edges are crispy, and the inside is warm and soft, with different fillings, it is really delicious ~

Fried buns

Du Meng’s favorite, for a meat-loving person like me From a human perspective, it's actually not bad. You can see people lining up at the entrance of the Normal University Night Market.

Crepes

There are two kinds of soft and hard crepes to choose from. The soft ones are very sweet, while the hard ones are crispy. They have many flavors. I really want to try them all and smear them with rich sauces without gaining a few pounds. regret.

Braised food

A must-eat snack every time I go to the Normal University Night Market. For a foodie like me who doesn’t like spicy food, Taiwanese snacks are delicious, but if you don’t eat spicy food, you will feel itchy. The braised food satisfies my perverted taste requirements. Taiwanese braised food is not completely spicy. It is spicy and sweet. It tastes great when topped with sauce and sauerkraut. The most famous restaurant in my mind is called Lantern Braised Food. The two large lanterns hanging at the door are very conspicuous from a distance.

2. National Taiwan University Mansion Keywords: Sisters Chicken Steak, Barley Soup, Cabin Waffles, Taiwan Dairy King, Chen Sanding Frog Hitting Milk

National Taiwan University: Sisters Chicken Steak, Barley Soup, Cabin Waffles

National Taiwan University is definitely a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. place. If you go to NTU and don’t try Sisters Chicken Steak, then you haven’t been to NTU; if you haven’t tried Sisters Chicken Steak, then you haven’t eaten the most delicious chicken steak; if you eat chicken steak, Without a cup of barley soup, you haven’t fully realized the true meaning of comfort. It is located in a small wooden house near National Taiwan University. Enter from the main entrance of National Taiwan University and turn left on Coconut Grove Avenue. If you see a lot of people queuing up, you are here.

The chicken cutlets are cut large and thin, twice the size of ordinary chicken cutlets. They need to be folded in half to fit into the paper bag. The fried skin is crispy and tender. The chicken steak is specially marinated before being fried, so the chicken is very tender and delicious. The price is also very affordable, NT$40 is enough for you to eat. Whether it’s Shilin’s huge chicken steak or Taichung’s fried chicken steak, there’s no comparison. Personally, I think it’s the best chicken steak in Taiwan.The barley soup is next to the chicken steak. It has been chilled for a long time. When you eat the chicken steak and drink the barley soup, you won't feel greasy even if you eat two pieces of the chicken chop. It's just so refreshing.

Of course, there are log cabin waffles, which are definitely the best waffles I have ever tasted. The waffles are freshly baked, steaming hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There are also different flavors to choose from, and I still like the red bean matcha waffles as always.

Taiwan 1 Milk King

What you must eat when going to Taiwan is all kinds of ice desserts. Taiwan No. 1 Dairy King is just outside National Taiwan University, turn right and cross the road, close to the Gongguan Night Market. This is a long-established Taiwanese shaved ice shop, specializing in milk shaved ice. My favorite is Babao Ice. The shaved ice is served with stuffed Babao and taro balls, and topped with thick milk. It is definitely a refreshing summer treat.

Chen Sanding’s Frog on Milk

It can be said to be the signature of Gongguan Night Market. The so-called frog on milk is actually pearl brown sugar milk. This restaurant has become popular in recent years and is very popular. If you go during meal time, you will have to queue for a long time. The pearls are carefully brewed and are very smooth and waxy. The milk is packaged in real Lin Fengying packaging and is very pure. Highly recommended!

Wheel Cake

This is a very inconspicuous shop. Generally, wheel cakes are sold from a cart. This store has a very small storefront and is not easy to find. I have the impression that there is a milk tea shop next to it. The wheel cakes come in two flavors: red bean and cream. The red bean tastes very good. The red bean is the real red bean. The grains are full and the taste is sweet and delicate.

3. Jiufen Keywords: Auntie Agan’s Taro Balls

Jiufen Old Street

Auntie Agan’s Taro Balls

In Taiwan, Jiufen and Tamsui are my favorites. I went to Tamsui three times in total and Jiufen twice. Second-rate. Jiufen is a small Japanese-style mountain town with a very mysterious feel. The most delicious taro balls in Taiwan are also hidden here. Auntie Forrest Gump's Taro Balls are located at an inadvertent corner of a small road in a small town. It's not easy to find. The taro balls are cooked until they are fragrant, glutinous and smooth, with a delicate texture. The small shop is located somewhere on the top of the mountain. It is not big but has a unique ambience. Sitting in front of the window, you can overlook the entire Jiufen. Jiufen is bustling during the day, lively but noisy, but in the evening after the sun sets, the tourists disperse and long lanterns light up on both sides of the street, the beauty of Jiufen is gradually revealed.

4. Tamsui keywords: Ah Gei, fish ball soup, San Xie Cake Shop, Mochi with fresh milk and mochi, grilled fish eggs

When going to Tamsui, be sure to choose a time other than weekends and not during the day. Tamsui is noisy during the day, but at night, The beauty of silence is revealed. It must be an unforgettable memory to buy some snacks with a few good friends, sit by the Danjiang River, and enjoy the cool breeze.

Agei, fish ball soup

Agei old store

The most famous one in Tamsui is Ahgei and fish ball soup. Many Taiwanese snacks are available all over Taiwan, but aji is definitely a delicacy that can only be found in Tamsui. There is a layer of tofu skin on the outside, vermicelli on the inside, and a layer of thick soup and sauce. Although it looks very simple, it tastes pretty good. It is said that the most delicious restaurant in Ah Gei is about the middle of Tamsui Old Street, at a corner. The store is large and easy to find. Opposite there is a stall selling Turkish ice cream and cheese potatoes. As for the fish ball soup, it is close to Tamjiang and naturally tastes very delicious.

San Xiecheng Cake Shop

San Xiecheng Cake Shop

There are many time-honored cake shops in Tamsui, and this one is probably the best. Another highlight of this restaurant is that it offers free tastings on a large scale. After entering, there is a large table filled with various snacks for tourists to taste, and they are definitely large portions. The considerate clerk will also pour you a cup of tea. If you are thick-skinned enough, you can eat here until you are full and no one will care. The boss has absolute confidence that you can buy some to take home after a full meal. This store is on Xin Street in Tamsui. The adjacent row is full of pastry shops, so it’s not hard to find.

Grandma Maji Fresh Milk Mochi

Grandma Maji Fresh Milk Mochi

In Taiwan, there are many small shops selling mochi, and the mochi in Hualien is the most delicious and famous.

It is cool, tender and has a very good taste.

Roasted Bird Eggs

Tamsui Old Street

On Tamsui Old Street, stalls selling roasted bird eggs can be seen everywhere. Small quail eggs, paired with dried fish and drizzled with sauce, are not perfect, but they have a unique taste.

5. Keelung Miaokou Night Market Keywords: small sausages, nutritious sandwiches, tempura, grilled fish fillets, fruit ice

Miaokou Night Market is smaller than expected, with only one short street, and the taste is not among the night markets. It's top-notch, but because it's close to the sea, it has a strong smell of the sea. But there are several features here. My favorite is of course the bratwurst, but only out of my personal love for intestines. Secondly, the most famous thing here is the nutritious sandwich. You can see it about 2/3 of the way into the night market. If there are many people, you need to wait in line for at least 20 minutes to get a number. But to me, this is just a big hot dog at best. In addition, the tempura and grilled fish fillets are both good. On the streets of the night market, you can see many people holding shaved ice cups. This is also one of my favorite foods in Miaokou. The big cup is full, tastes refreshing, and the price is very affordable.

6. Keywords in Yilan: scallion pancakes, barbecue, egg rolls; Luodong Night Market pork belly, rice balls

Yilan is really a place with a lot of delicious food, and the streets and alleys are full of fragrance. By the way, I have been to Yilan twice in total. The first time I was cycling around the island with my Taiwanese classmates, and the second time was a special trip with my mainland classmates. Both times I was very impressed by the food.

Onion Pancake

Yilan Onion Pancake should be said to be the most famous snack in Yilan. The scallion pancakes here use Samsung scallions that are only available in Yilan. The thick noodles have a fresh onion flavor, which is very delicious.

Barbeque

I honestly forgot what the name of the barbecue was, because I went with my Taiwanese friends, so being a foodie, I just ate it. Just looking at the pictures makes it feel good. The location should be somewhere in Luodong Forest Farm.

Luodong Night Market: Bu Pork

Luodong Night Market

To be honest, this is the snack that is least worth queuing for in Taiwan. I really like it. It takes at least half an hour, but the taste is very average. There is a sense of despair in queuing with no end in sight. If you don’t particularly want to try something new, there is no need to go all out. But the cakes sold at the meat-diving stalls are pretty good.

Luodong Night Market: Rice Balls

If you go to Yilan and don’t eat rice balls, it would be a pity. The location is Luodong Night Market. This is a mom-and-pop shop. It is said that because the husband and wife had different business concepts, they opened two shops in the night market, across the street from each other. If you go to Luodong, this is the one with the most queues. As for the taste, the biggest feature is that the rice balls are stuffed with a layer of sweet red bean paste. Once you take a sip, the inside will flow out, and it's so creamy. No matter how long the queue is, it's worth it.

Death in Taichung Chapter

1. Hsinchu Keywords: meatballs, tribute balls, oyster omelet, moist pancakes, squid soup

In Taiwan, Changhua and Hsinchu are famous for meatballs. The Chenghuang Temple Night Market in Hsinchu is small, but has a strong market atmosphere.

But in fact, Ma Ying-jeou's signature snacks in Taiwan are not so golden, because this gentleman seems to have very low requirements for food. As for the meatballs, they are actually pretty average. It’s enough for a few people to buy one and try it out.

2. Alishan keywords: train bento, turkey rice, dried sakura

The snacks in Taichung are not as delicious as those in Taipei and Tainan. Alishan is famous for its forest train, and the ancient train lunch box is also famous for its unique train flavor. In fact, I personally think it is just some green vegetables and big chicken legs. The taste is just like the box lunch on the train. In addition, after entering the Alishan Scenic Area, we can see many signs selling turkey rice. Under the leadership of the driver, we went to an old local store famous for its turkey rice. The lunch box was also packed with fatty meat and had a far-reaching taste. It is far less refreshing and satisfying than the private cooking of the owner of the cabin hotel where we stayed.

3. Hualien keywords: mochi, official board

The scenery in Hualien is beautiful, but the food is actually not very special. But the mochi (pronounced moji in Taiwanese) produced here is delicious. Mochi has a cool glutinous rice skin on the outside and a smooth filling on the inside. It’s a good choice to take back to the mainland and give to friends and family to try.

In addition, the Hualien Night Market’s Guancaiban is very famous. It is actually toast with a crispy and charred crust, then filled with rich fillings, and there are many flavors to choose from. Black pepper beef and Orleans roast chicken are both good.

It is thick and smooth in the mouth~ In short, it tastes much better than soy milk~

I have eaten the so-called pineapple cake. The runner-up pineapple cake is really incomparable. The location is on Nanjing East Road, Taipei City, so the transportation is not very convenient, but it’s really worth it for the delicious food!

It's a bit similar to the Shaoxing stinky tofu we tried, but the uniqueness lies in the ingredients. The thick soup, as well as the delicious chili and pickled cabbage, highlighted the freshness of the tofu. I remember the first time I went to Raohe, I bought two portions of stinky tofu.

You can see it about 2/3 of the way into the night market. If there are many people, you need to wait in line for at least 20 minutes to get a number. But to me, this is just a big hot dog at best. In addition, the tempura and grilled fish fillets are both good. On the streets of the night market, you can see many people holding shaved ice cups. This is also one of my favorite foods in Miaokou. The big cup is full, tastes refreshing, and the price is very affordable.

6. Keywords in Yilan: scallion pancakes, barbecue, egg rolls; Luodong Night Market pork belly, rice balls

Yilan is really a place with a lot of delicious food, and the streets and alleys are full of fragrance. By the way, I have been to Yilan twice in total. The first time I was cycling around the island with my Taiwanese classmates, and the second time was a special trip with my mainland classmates. Both times I was very impressed by the food.

Onion Pancake

Yilan Onion Pancake should be said to be the most famous snack in Yilan. The scallion pancakes here use Samsung scallions that are only available in Yilan. The thick noodles have a fresh onion flavor, which is very delicious.

Barbeque

I honestly forgot what the name of the barbecue was, because I went with my Taiwanese friends, so being a foodie, I just ate it. Just looking at the pictures makes it feel good. The location should be somewhere in Luodong Forest Farm.

Luodong Night Market: Bu Pork

Luodong Night Market

To be honest, this is the snack that is least worth queuing for in Taiwan. I really like it. It takes at least half an hour, but the taste is very average. There is a sense of despair in queuing with no end in sight. If you don’t particularly want to try something new, there is no need to go all out. But the cakes sold at the meat-diving stalls are pretty good.

Luodong Night Market: Rice Balls

If you go to Yilan and don’t eat rice balls, it would be a pity. The location is Luodong Night Market. This is a mom-and-pop shop. It is said that because the husband and wife had different business concepts, they opened two shops in the night market, across the street from each other. If you go to Luodong, this is the one with the most queues. As for the taste, the biggest feature is that the rice balls are stuffed with a layer of sweet red bean paste. Once you take a sip, the inside will flow out, and it's so creamy. No matter how long the queue is, it's worth it.

Death in Taichung Chapter

1. Hsinchu Keywords: meatballs, tribute balls, oyster omelet, moist pancakes, squid soup

In Taiwan, Changhua and Hsinchu are famous for meatballs. The Chenghuang Temple Night Market in Hsinchu is small, but has a strong market atmosphere. It's more like a farmer's market here, lively and bustling. It is said that Cai Kee's is the most famous for its meatballs, and it seems to have been approved by Ma Ying-jeou. But in fact, Ma Ying-jeou's signature snacks in Taiwan are not so golden, because this gentleman seems to have very low requirements for food. As for the meatballs, they are actually pretty average. It’s enough for a few people to buy one and try it out.

2. Alishan keywords: train bento, turkey rice, dried sakura

The snacks in Taichung are not as delicious as those in Taipei and Tainan. Alishan is famous for its forest train, and the ancient train lunch box is also famous for its unique train flavor. In fact, I personally think it is just some green vegetables and big chicken legs. The taste is just like the box lunch on the train. In addition, after entering the Alishan Scenic Area, we can see many signs selling turkey rice. Under the leadership of the driver, we went to an old local store famous for its turkey rice. The lunch box was also packed with fatty meat and had a far-reaching taste. It is far less refreshing and satisfying than the private cooking of the owner of the cabin hotel where we stayed.

3. Hualien keywords: mochi, official board

The scenery in Hualien is beautiful, but the food is actually not very special. But the mochi (pronounced moji in Taiwanese) produced here is delicious. Mochi has a cool glutinous rice skin on the outside and a smooth filling on the inside. It’s a good choice to take back to the mainland and give to friends and family to try.

In addition, the Hualien Night Market’s Guancaiban is very famous. It is actually toast with a crispy and charred crust, then filled with rich fillings, and there are many flavors to choose from. Black pepper beef and Orleans roast chicken are both good.

4. Fengjia Night Market Keywords: fried chicken steak, panda buns, cheese and potato

fried chicken steak

Fengjia Night Market

It is said that the only thing that can compete with sister chicken steak is the fried chicken steak in Taichung. Different from ordinary chicken chops, it has a thick layer of cheese sauce on the surface of the chicken chops, and a layer of thick cheese sauce is also sandwiched in the middle of the chicken chops. After one bite, the chicken chops are crispy, the chicken is tender, and the inside is warm. The sauce also oozed out and tasted great.

Panda Bun

Fengjia Night Market

It’s actually a small sandwich that looks very cute. It actually tastes pretty good, but the shape is so cute and cute that you can’t bear to bite it.

Taipei Breakfast

It goes without saying that Taiwan’s snacks are rich in variety. Even breakfast has many strange names~

The so-called "radish cake" is actually "radish cake", which is made from ground radish Flour, square pancakes made with flour and glutinous rice, fried carefully on a frying pan, then cut into small pieces, and topped with a layer of sauce. It tastes pretty good~

The egg pancakes are a bit refreshing. Similarly, it is also topped with a layer of sauce. It tastes very good~

It is worth mentioning that the rice milk~ seems to be made by grinding glutinous rice and black sesame into powder and then boiling it. It has a thin and glutinous consistency. , tastes very good, with the sesame aroma of grandma's black soy milk, and a bit like a milkshake. It is thick and smooth in the mouth~ In short, it tastes much better than soy milk~

Three Cups of Chicken

Because I don't have enough money, Therefore, there are not many opportunities to eat Taiwanese food in high-end restaurants. Just wandering around the night market is enough to dazzle you, but this dish is not to be missed.

Taiwanese Small Hot Pot

In Taiwan, this is our most popular choice for dinner parties. There are many small hot pot restaurants in Taiwan. Each person has a small pot, which is very clean and hygienic. The prices are affordable, and many of them have free ice cream and drinks. Chatting with good friends under the steaming hot pot is one of my precious memories in Taiwan.

Ecstasy Pineapple Cake (Jia De Pineapple Cake)

Jiade Cake House

I regard this as the finale of my trip to Taiwan, because it is truly the most delicious pineapple cake I have ever eaten in Taiwan, so much so that my good friends and I People all call it "Ecstasy Pineapple Cake". It has a crispy outer skin and melts in one bite. You won't get tired of it no matter how you eat it. It makes people want to stop. It is no boast to win the championship of Taiwan's pineapple cake. I have eaten the so-called pineapple cake. The runner-up pineapple cake is really incomparable. The location is on Nanjing East Road, Taipei City, so the transportation is not very convenient, but it’s really worth it for the delicious food!
