Shilin night market is undoubtedly one of Taipei’s most famous night markets and from what we saw, had a good mix of tourists and locals.
We were in the Tienmu area, so decided to take a bus down – our first bus ride in Taipei, excluding the ride in from the airport. But if you’re taking the MRT, the nearest station is Jiantan station, not Shilin.
After alighting from the bus, we had to walk through a little dark alleyway to get to the main Shilin night market area.
We headed to Raohe night market for our first night market adventure, after an afternoon of shopping at Wu Fen Pu.
It was packed even on a Sunday night, and we stuffed ourselves right up to our eyes trying almost everything we saw.
I also love how they had stalls where you could play old school games, you don’t see that in Singapore anymore.
Deep fried salt and pepper squid. Perfectly done. According to Boo, it was “butter soft” and he had no problems chewing it even with his sore tooth.
will travel for food and love
