Yeah...

Was in Taiwan many years ago in August as well... Fuh... I will never go there again in August. Even queueing for night market foods at night also sweat like crazy. Dont even mention afternoon.

Food wise... Nothing much memorable. Most overrated is their oyster cake... Man, Malaysian one so much better. Maybe because eating at night market area, next time if go also must try restaurant see got difference or not. We did have a good ru rou fan at one of the restaurant.

Instead back then, most memorable was buying some cakes from 7-11 and it taste better than Malaysian bakery. 7-11 staffs also puzzle why I sapu dozens of that particular cake.

Raohe night market most recommended pepper bun with damn long queue. Totally no pepper taste at all.
Most of the food in Taipei very bland and boring.

i tried that one, not bad but still too peppery for me laugh.gif

if you're travelling to TW during summer
taipei is the wrong place to be, it's supposed to be anywhere at the south....taidong or ludao

don't eat those beef noodle, oyster meesua at touristy place or night market, they're way off standard compared to what the locals eat

next round no more summer TW trip laugh.gif

both me n waifu been craving hard for some good chinese meal..while taking a short weekend to visit MY would never be enough, we set our eyes on Taiwan.

it's very convenient as the local airport (Komatsu) 20 min away has direct flight to Taipei, and best part of the airport is free parking (for like ~2+ weeks) when taking international flight

quickly put together a 3 days 3 night trip, only need take one day leave.

Very nice stained glass at the departure area

short and smooth 3 hours flight, imigration suck ass, very long queue..
both unlucky, didn't get anything from the lucky draw sad.gif

Airport express straight to Taipei main to check in and drop off the luggage first before first round of dinner.
Transport fare are pretty cheap, but got too used to JP's JR gate speed, felt the fare gate was pretty slow.

Nice Taipei main station

Walked over to the nearest night market, Ningxia Night Market 寧夏夜市

since no particular plan of what to eat, so simply walk one round and decided on braised meat rice. seems pretty popular store, no place to sit and many ppl queue but not sure why the auntie just let me and my wife sit in front of the shop, skip queue and order makan laugh.gif

Serious posting mode:

Our Taiwan trip nearly the same places. Minus beer, sugary drinks, overrated restaurants.
Jiufen ok morning less pipur then suddenly too many spoil mood punya tempat. Super magnet of gathering tourist there.
Beef with fire extinguisher cooking method is something I won't get used to in their pasar malam.

this is what happen when u got used to malaysian food
until even SG food taste bland

a lot of places outside of MY, their food taste more bland for health conscious purposes
until if u ever watch taiwanese review food video, their acceptance for "sweet" for their bubble milk tea is really really low...even our half sweetness is really sweet to them

Good luck finding non harom food at taiwan. 7-11 should have more choice.
