士林夜市 Shi Lin Night Market

This is the most popular night market in Taipei, the city that consist of the largest populations in Taiwan, and this is the place where they hangout, not only by local people but it is also a wonderful tourist attractions. Shi Lin night market can be considered as the largest and most famous night market in the city. I bet, you heard of it too.

This is not the Pasar Malam back in your hometown. Our pasar malam only sells Kuih, Fried Chicken Wings, and few lelong cheap stuff.  Infact, in shilin there are different varieties of products for sale, from local delicacies to branded clothings.

Remember, this is Night Market, so go only during your night time. They close around 12midnite, but if you are taking MRT, its better u leave earlier in order to catch the last train.

For your info: MRT Station stops at Jian Tan (剑谭）

Wookie, Let’s start the tour to Taipei’s largest Night Market ! Are you ready? Get a tissue to wipe off your saliva as well. :p

Lets get started with my photo as an appetizer. Lol! Who took this photo! Too bright! haha…

As we plan to have our dinner here, hunting for food. So our target is mostly on FOOD!

Have u ever tried “冰糖葫芦”？
Other than the original type, there are also strawberries & tomatoes.

Along the streets, u can see some pretty meimei (妹妹) opening a small stalls and start biz just like that. It can be either selling clothes, jeweleries, socks, cosmetics or some handicrafts. I think in our pasar malam, those vendors are mostly obasang bor…

The 1st stop, we saw this 青蛙粉园 or 爱玉冰。
Remember you gotta look for this FROG brand.

I tell you, it taste  so good!! Although there are only a few flavor for you to choose, but each of it taste very good. I love the green bean flavor, not that sweet, just nice, add on with the 爱玉, which is something like Jelly, you have something  chewy in your drinks. This is something different from the Pearl Milk Tea.

I’m not suppose to have cold beverage, but once in a bluemoon, die die must try lar! Blerk! I know someone will kill me. Haha!

We look around, there are so many choices of food to hunt! But some looks very disgusting for me, so i don’t even feel to take picture of it, whats more to give it a try! Haha..

I’m not sure if u can read the above 3 chinese wording, but i showed it to my friend, he laff till pengsan. Haha.. Well, it is true, this is 鸡蛋糕。 Its a type of cake, but it comes in cute shapes! Let’s have a look, how noti am i~ hahaha!

See, this is a gun! I bang u ! haha~ Lynn still can laugh lol!

Open your mouth Desmond! Die ! Die ! Die !!!! haha…

Kena ketuk by Ayam. No wonder the whole trip those born in the year of Chicken “che” me lar… haiya!

And i found a PIG.. looks like me? haha..
All these are just for fun, it taste normal only, ma ma dei. cant even finish it, end up donate to the dustbin.

This is their PAO, those we eat are steam type, but these are deep fried!

I prefer the Vege Bun, maybe i don’t love Pork.
Haha.. I am Fatimah’s friend, Marina. LoL
Its kind of too oily, but give it a try!! It taste good.

I’m not suppose to Eat ICECREAM too!
Somehow, Yen said this is very popular and highly recommended. So again, its a die die must try.

We called it Popiah Icecream, its custom made, and u can taste the crunchiness of the peanuts mix with the Ice Cream.

Florence, its very nice o!!! Must try!!!

We’ve only done half of the night market, but time is almost up. So we couldn’t do much shopping. In fact, we found the very popular noodle house called, Ah Zhong Mian Sian. 阿忠面线。 This is also highly recommended, even in the TV programs.

I just go straight, in and ordered 3 bowl. You can only either take away, or Dine in By sitting on their bench without table. Totally self-service, and even u have to throw the bowl to the recycle bin your own. I think if they apply this concept in Malaysia, i am for sure the shop will close in a month time. Malaysians are just so lazy. Sorry ah, i am just telling u the truth. Haha..

Somehow, i don’t really like the taste of the noodle, its too sticky, or it consist of those pork liver or whatever organs?  I just don’t like the smell, but just give it a try! Must explore something new mar.

Crab soup. I prefer this. And i think I’m the one who finished this bowl instead of the noodle.

Other than the above mentioned foods, actually we tried lots of other delicacies too. Such as, 臭豆腐 smelly beancurd. I’ve tried once in HK last year, so give me a break, i really cannot accept the smell. Only Lynn and Desmond dare to try, the smell is really really SUCKs!!! Sorry, don’t kiss me if you had taken it. Haha..We tried the fried Quail Eggs too.

We do not manage to try all the food, there’s only limited storage in our tummy. Haha.. Luckily we shared all the portion and divide among 5 of us. Save money and try more. Brilliant concept!

Anyway, coming up there are more night markets to explore! This is just the starting~ Hope you like this entry, will keep you update soon. Please stay tune~
