Taipei : Shihlin Night Market 士林夜市

Shilin Night Market has since become the largest and most well known night market in Taiwan, especially with regards to food, and is a favorite focal point for Taipei's night life among residents and visitors alike.
The night market is in close proximity to "Jiantan Station" on the Dansui Line. The local businesses and vendors begin opening around 4 pm and closes at around 1 to 2 am.
Many people come to Shihlin Night Market to enjoy the delicious snacks, such as large pancake enfolding small pancake, Fried Chicken Steak (炸雞排), Stinky taufu, oyster omelet (蚵仔煎), hot pot on stone or Shihlin sausage and many more.

One must try the puding as it is very famous in Taipei. The Puding shop can sell more than 10,000 pudings per day through either retails or internet. One cup of puding is sell at NT$15/ cup.
If you ask me about the taste, i would say, " i'm not fancy it".


Pic below : Stinky Tau fu.

The stinky tau fu which served with pickled vegatables that i tried now was not as stinky as a few years ago. I felt disspointed coz i can't find the stinky yet tasty feeling again. According to the stall owner, stinky taufu is manufactured and distributed by a factory. No more hand make tau fu, coz it involved a lot of works. So, the taste will be the same every where you try in Taipei.
