Eating out in Taipei

Submitted by Erich and Kelley on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 00:53
While taking a stroll through our favorite night market, called Shi Da night market, Kelley remarked that all the things that seemed really strange to us when we first moved to Taipei 3 years ago seems so normal to us now. Eating out is a case in point. A Taiwanese night market is basically a series of narrow streets jam-packed with food vendors selling all kinds of strange and delicious foods. Most days we walk past stands selling pig's blood sticks dusted with peanut sauce, chicken behinds, sea cucumber, barbecued whole squids on a stick, and other delicacies... But since the alleys are so narrow, it's hard to get all the ingredients to the food vendors by truck. So here's how they are transported:

Here is a typical Taiwanese meal, consisting of fried tofu squares, some fried egg noodles, and soup with processed fish balls. It costs around 2 US dollars, and although it's not the healthiest food, it's really tasty!

Here's a close up of the fried tofu. This is not the stinky kind, but if you come visit us, we'll be sure to get stinky tofu together. Just tell us the date :-)
