Shilin Night Market is one of the most famous night markets in Taipei, Taiwan; and was my first destination during my Taiwan trip. The night market is popular for its variety of street foods and one of the tourism highlights for Taipei.
Shilin Night Market in Taipei, not as crowded as expected
I was actually a bit disappointed with my first stop in Taiwan; it’s not that the food are bad, it was just ok for me… perhaps I had over-anticipated the experience from watching too many Taiwan food/travel shows. It was still pretty fun though; it’s always fun when you try something new, especially when you are overseas… it’s what travel is about.
Famous Taiwan street food ‘small sausage wrapped in big sausage’, which is basically Taiwan style hotdog… but instead of using normal buns, they use glutinous rice ‘buns’ instead
Typical Taiwanese street food, the oyster omelet, stinky tofu and Taiwanese tempura
The iconic fried chicken steak, fame for its enormous size
BBQ chicken butt, looks bizarre but tasted really good… my favourite food of the night lol

Nice shots bro! The A350 perform much much better than your Casio. :)

the food are not nice at all…, so crowded some more…
bad tourist destination…
Ya, the food was quite a disappointment 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.
Prof… so, you are working in Taipei?
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.
