As you may already know, there are endless night markets available in Taiwan and you'll be scratching your head deciding which one to visit. Below is a must stop for tourists and locals alike!
The Raohe Street Night Market (traditional Chinese: 饒河街觀光夜市) is one of the oldest night markets in Songshan District, Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. It is located on Raohe Street, near Songshan Station, and is about 600 meters long.
The night markets offers almost everything from local snacks to souvenir goods and you get to view the all time famous rainbow bridge just few meters away.
The entrance to the market... opened from late evening to midnight!
Reminds me of Chinatown?
Mee Sua! Just took photo but didn't try though! The owner was starring at me and wanted to eat me up for taking the photo without buying. LOL! :P Take photo only cannot wan meh?
Our first stop.. dearie was craving for his all time favourite "Yau Char Kwai" (油炸粿) a.k.a You Tiao!
This was different from the ones you get in M'sia! So much longer! HAHA! :P
Then next we tried out their Taiwanese Bak Kut Teh! Bak kut teh (肉骨茶) is a Chinese soup with pork ribs popularly served in Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan.
Dipped with chili sauce to amplify the taste! Simply GOOD! :)
Us looking very happy with our FOOD! pose snap pose snap.. :P
After that we decided to take a break to digest a little and headed towards the famous Rainbow Bridge not too far away...
A view of the bridge in the evening!
Cute doggy we saw along the way... :P
Ok after some photos at the rainbow bridge, we walked back to the Raohe Street Night Market and came upon this shop with long queue selling their famous watery & juicy black pepper bun!
WAH!!!!!!!! It was super packed! So we joined the crowd and waited a good 30 minutes before getting our hands on the bun!
The reason people had to wait long was because everything was made and served fresh and hot straight from the stove!
Black pepper minced pork... *slurrp*
Finally our black pepper minced pork buns were ready! Let's pose for a photo 1st!
We then walked back to the rainbow bridge waiting for the sunset while munching away on our juicy buns! You can see from the expression of our faces how good the bun was! Imagine taking one bite and the juice flushes out straight into your mouth! :P
Simply heaven! I miss the buns! Why can't I find something similar here in M'sia? Do you guys know where I can get something similar here???
The evening view...
The place was slowly lighted up as the sun went down...
We sat there till like 7pm! HAHAHA!
More photos!
Nice photo taken by dearie's DSLR!
Do not miss out on the Raohe Night Market during your visit to Taiwan! :P More photos up next!
