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.

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.

    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.
