The Shilin Night Market is a night market in the Shilin District of Taipei, Taiwan, and is often considered to be the largest and most famous night market in the city.
- The night market is located near the former location of a wharf on the Keelung River 基隆
- Take the Metro Taipei or MRT(捷運) to Jiantan station(劍潭站) which is on Danshui Line (淡水 the Red Line).
- The famous extra large chicken chop(豪大大雞排) one of the most popular street foods in Taiwan. Queue very long but waited only five mins. They were fast! Soft tender chicken with salty batter powdered with a fragrant spice mix. can be found here and you simply cannot miss it because of the long queue and it’s light blue signboard.
- Stalls selling fruit juice were everywhere. And one of the specialties is the honey bitter gourd juice, see the white color fruit?
- Oyster omelet (蚵仔煎) , Stinky tofu (臭豆腐）
Although it’s a popular food in Taiwan, Stinky Tofu (臭豆腐) is one thing I couldn’t stand. The taste, the smell, everything about it. I just couldn’t tolerate the stench it emits..
- Auntie Salty Chicken meat stall sat around the Shilin night market, featured its tasty chicken meat along with multi local food in one package lot, that cost you street price, surely satisfy your tongue while strolling, always crowded。 Must try , Recommended
-The night market encompasses two distinct sections sharing a symbiotic relationship: a section formerly housed in the old Shilin Market building, containing mostly food vendors and small eateries; and the surrounding businesses and shops selling other nonfood items.
Day trip to Jiufen 九份
Jiufen old street is a popular tourist destination north of Taipei. The houses are build at the side of the hills and from the houses, you are able to see the Pacific Ocean coastline.
What can you do here? walk around the cool old street, relive scenes of the past Taipei and when you are feeling tired, find a tea house of a great seaview and have some tea to chill…and not to forget shopping. There are numerous things to eat in Jiufen. Fishball soup, yuyuan (taro balls), dumplings served hot or cold with sweet bean, and mochi are all widely available.
After reading alot of *thumbs up* review on the fishball in Jiufen, we decided to give it a try. We walk in to the 1st shop selling fish ball that we saw. 鱼丸伯伯

The famous Mochi
Red dates minced meat dumplings.九份金枝紅糟肉圓
-The red color comes from the lees left over from a Chinese rice wine making process. Don't worry, there is no alchohol in it.

Jiufen is most notable for their taro ball soup called yuyuan. Grandma Lai's Yuyuan and Ah Gan Yee Yuyuan are most famous for their taro balls.
-Yuyuan is a scoop of colorful taro balls in a sweet bean soup. The restaurant offers hot and cold yuyuan with a choice of sweetened red azuki beans, green mung beans, and/or soft peanuts. We opted for a combination of all three. The chewy taro balls (and yam balls, etc.) are naturally flavored and pair well with the sweet bean soup. This was quite a treat!

Liang Pin beef noodles - 良品牛肉面
Something memorable. Something effin’ good to eat. Not too much to ask for, right? I definitely thought we were in safe hands when we strolled into Liang Pin Beef Noodles / 良品牛肉麵. After all, their noodles are apparently of the award-winning variety. I did like the wide noodle (something different) and the texture of the noodle which was nice to chew on.

Ximending 西門町
- Ah Zong Mee Suah (阿宗面线) , This is one of Taipei's famous street food, Thick braised soup with bonito flakes with short vermicelli and generous oysters and pig intestines, this bowl is full of goodness! (If you're not comfortable with the intestines, just leave them out.)
- There're no tables, just stools scattered around. Yes, there are no tables and people just sit on stools available, and gulp the bowl of vermicelli down, despite it brimming the small green bowls. Some even stood while eating them because the stools were all used up.
- Don't expect glorious service from Ah Zhong however! Just your bowl of piping hot vermicelli away and enjoy! :)
-after ximending we went for lunch , forgot the restaurant name already , the food is nice & service is thumbs up :D
