Friendly Taiwanese vendors serving delicious street food fare. This is the authentic experience with most of the patrons being locals. So much to choose from, best to go in a group and share in the grazing.

The night market was fun and the food was delicious- esp the Oyster Omlettes (ou wa jian). I went to the local place that has the best pineapple cake (Li Niang Dian? Not sure, but my driver said that was the... More
