Taipei’s Shilin Night Market is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Taiwan, famous for its abundance of Taiwanese street food. The place was the first stop for my Taiwan trip in late April 2008…
The night market was not as crowded as expected, and I was a bit disappointed with the food.
I’m not suggesting that the food was bad. It’s a matter of personal preference, and it didn’t suit my taste unfortunately; and perhaps I was a bit over-anticipating.
It’s still a fun experience though. It’s always fun to visit new places and trying new things… that’s what travel is about.
Small sausage wrapped in big sausage
Famous street food; Taiwanese hotdog with glutinous rice replacing the normal bun as the wrapper. Special, and tasted ok.
Typical Taiwanese street food
The oyster omelet, stinky tofu and Taiwanese tempura; just ok…
Hao-Da fried chicken steak
Perhaps the iconic street food in the market; famous for its enormous size. Too salty for my liking, but juicy…
BBQ chicken butt
Best food of the night lol…

i wish nightlife in canada is like asian countries’ nightlife.
the food looks yummy!!!
their are lots of steet foods there… no wonder people who always shop can easily spend all their money…they look delicious…..
Honestly, the food doesn’t taste as good as it looks lol.
Nice shots bro! The A350 perform much much better than your Casio. :)
Obviously :)
the food are not nice at all…, so crowded some more…
bad tourist destination…
Ya, the food was a bit disappointing there. It’s probably not right to say that the food is bad… it’s just that it doesn’t match our taste.
I found the food at Shilin Night Market excellent. I ate there several times recently.
I especially like the pork belly soup.
I actually dislike Shilin Night Market. After all the hu-ha and being regarded as Taiwan’s best night market, I was utterly disappointed when I paid them a visit.
I took no more than 10 pictures in the night market (food section) and most of the stuffs sold there didn’t seem to look appetizing to us. I was there for the food, and I only had like 3 items there. We ended up having cup noodles at our hotel later on.
Shilin Night Market is definitely over rated and doesn’t deserve the best night market in Taiwan title.
I personally feel Kaohsiung’s Liu He Night Market beats Shilin Night Market hands down.
Food looks good but I still prefer a Louisiana Hot Link with sauerkraut, spicy mustard, and onions for a late night snack. I also like thin sliced beef tendon in hot oil and simmered pig’s feet, but the Louisiana Hot Links is definitely the best.
Delicious !
ppppp.

Hi there, its so nice to see the photos of Shilin night Market in your website.
Many’s the time I’d head over to the night market for the great grub, including my favourite boiled white rice with a hot meat sauce spread over for only nt$10…….ooooh the memories come flooding back!
Many thanx for reminding me!
Shilin was better before it was renovated.
