The Famous Night Market

The night market is the hot tourist spot in Taipei.  It sells mainly tourist junks.  All the cheap trinkets and stuffed plush toys plush are likely to be made-in-China.  Walking about the night market reminds me of Bugis Street.  Plenty of street food on a stick.  Even quail eggs can be cook and stick through.  Mee Sua and Large Fried Chicken Cutlet are available back home.  Interesting to see them sold in makeshift carts.  The sausages are gigantic.  Fried oysters is soft unlike back home.  They give plenty of oysters which is more value.  I also tried the stinky tofu and they tasted like normal tofu.  Plenty of milk tea carts. Beef steaks seems more popular than pork chops.  There is jelly shape like lollypops, preserved fruits like plum, mango and lemon.  Also interesting but I did not try is Da Bing Pow Xiao Bing meaning a small biscuit inside a big biscult.  No one is trying it, so it is not popular.  There are bbq big squids which seems popular.  I like the fried steam buns but since it is full of dough, I did not eat it. 

George Quek come to Taiwan and go home to start up the resturants and make it to big time.  So anything is possible if you have abilities.
