Taipei Shilin Night Market

The Shilin Night Market is often rendered as the largest and most famous night market in Taipei.

This night market is undoubtedly the best I have seen so far, in terms of the variety of street food available.

Taman Kheng Tian Friday Night Market

The first time I went to the Friday night market at Taman Kheng Tian, I was surprised at the number of food stalls lined up at the night market. It was even more interesting to note that a large number of these stalls sell food that either originated from or famous in Taiwan e.g. bubble tea, XL crispy fried chicken, oyster mee sua, jumbo sausages etc.

Watch this space for my next post on the Taipei Shilin night market and you will agree with me on how much this night market takes after the Shilin night market.

I remember eating this famous pasar malam hokkien mee when I was growing up. Back then, the night market used to move from one place to another every month e.g. from the padang opposite the Penang Buddhist Association, to the Batu Lanchang afternoon market car park, to the Terengganu road padang etc.

This hokkien mee stall was very famous in the night market scene and is still a crowd puller at the Taman Kheng Tian night market.
