Taiwan Night Market Food Top 10

Mini soup dumplings
This famous snack from Shanghai has spread throughout the Chinese
world. It is made with pork and pork skin boiled in chicken broth
wrapped in dough and steamed. They are carefully wrapped using 14
folds to make buns that “look like a bell on the bottom and a
lantern on top”. After being steamed until the skin is translucent,
they are served with soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger.

Crispy Salt & Pepper Chicken
One of Taiwan's most popular snacks. The name originally referred to
breaded deep fried chunks of chicken, but is now used for a wide
variety of deep fried foods including tempura, dried mushrooms, silver
rolls, green corn, and dried tofu. Basil is often added right before
it is served for a burst of flavor.

Stinky tofu
As any lover of stinky tofu will tell you, the stinkier the better!
Many people are afraid to try this pungent dish, but everyone agrees
that once you do you'll be hooked. This simple dish is prepared by
frying fermented tofu in oil then cutting it into bite-sized chunks.
It is usually served with sweet and sour pickled vegetables to
complement its crispy–outside/spongy-inside texture.

Oyster vermicelli
No trip to the night market would be complete without a bowl of oyster
noodles. Fresh oysters are added to red flour noodles and broth
thickened with starch, then served with stewed sausage, black vinegar,
and a special sauce and topped with cilantro for a delicious and
satisfying snack.

Ba-wan (Taiwanese meatball)
Changhwa and Hsinchu are particularly famous for their ba-wan, the
former specializing in fried ba-wan, and the latter in steamed.
This traditional snack is made from pork, mushrooms, and dried bamboo
shoots stuffed in dough made from rice flour and potato starch.
It's a chewy, fragrant treat that's not to be missed.


Chicken rice
One of Chiayi's most famous dishes, chicken rice is eaten for lunch and
dinner, as a midnight snack, or even for breakfast. It is traditionally
made from white rice smothered in chicken and chicken gravy, but there
are many variations. Chiayi chicken rice has many admirers throughout
Taiwan.

Braised pork rice
An endearing traditional favorite, this dish became popular in the
post-war era when meat was a luxury that was only available on special
occasions. It is traditionally made with inexpensive meat from a pig's
head and ears cooked in soy sauce, red onions and spices. Widely
available in night markets, this traditional dish is definitely worth
a try.

Shrimp rolls
Shrimp rolls are made with fresh shrimp, minced pork, fish sauce,
celery and onions wrapped in pork skin and deep fried, then served
with a sweet sauce. Unbelievably delicious!

Oyster omelet
A very popular item, these omelettes are made from fresh oysters
coated in potato or sweet potato starch and fried on a skillet with
eggs and onions, then served with a special sweet and sour sauce.
A taste you won't soon forget.

Pearl milk tea
Also known as bubble tea, this drink was created in Taichung by
mixing black tea and chewy tapioca balls. Its popularity quickly
spread, and now you can find pearl milk tea wherever you find
Chinese people throughout the world.
