Taiwan — Night market @Shida(4)
Salty water chicken (鹹水雞)
There are at least 3 stores that sell salty chicken in Shida night market. But the most popular is sold by an old man. He cut the chickens into little pieces and then put in a big cup. Then serve with chicken soup, pepper, green onion, and ginger. The most special of his chicken is adding Chinese medicines to boil the chicken before. With the chicken soup, it brings out the strong flavor of the Chinese medicines and the taste of chickens. Actually you are able to buy this kind of chicken in any night markets in Taiwan. However this store in Shida night market is the most popular

Mu Ding Japanese-style ice shaving store (木町日式冰店)
Mu Ding is a dessert store which mainly provides Japanese-style ice shaving. The owner specially brings the syrup from Japan back to Taiwan.
Green tea ice shaving — This is her popular ice shaving. The owner uses the Japanese green tea powder to make jellies, tangyuan, ice-cream. Then serve with red bean and the Japanese syrup. I think their red beans do not dip in sweet-water before, thus all the red beans are not that sweet.
Hawaiian ice shaving – This ice shaving is serving with vanilla ice cream, soda, and four different seasonally fruits. It is not a colorful ice shaving, but also suitable to have it in summer. And it’s healthier than other ice shaving since it does not serve with too much syrup.
Sweet soup with white fungus and lotus nuts – If you do not want to have the cold ice shaving during winter, Mu Ding provides some hot Chinese dessert. This hot tong sui contains white fungus (tremella fuciformis) and lotus nuts which is really healthy and nourishing.
Black glutinous rice – This is one of the desserts that the owner highly recommended. Rich flavors of coconut tong sui and combine with sweet black glutinous rice.
Japanese rice dishes (Japanese: rice dish = “donburi/don” 丼) – The dessert store not only provide Japanese ice shaving, but also some Japanese rice and noodle dishes for customers. Such as fried pork rice dish (pork don), eel don, udon, etc. These dishes attract a lot of Taiwanese students.

Yaki (車輪蛋糕)
Yaki actually is a Japanese dessert called imagawayaki. In Japan, there are various shapes of the yaki, mainly are depended on the culture of that places.This cake is kind of like cream puff. There are several ingredients of the yaki, the most common is cream butter. They also provide red bean, taro, etc.The size of each yaki is not very big. Thus you are able to have other delicious foods in the night market.
Candy Apple
Like traditional American candy apple, this store also use green apple and serve caramel outside the apple. Firstly, they will use vinegar and salt water to soak for three hours, in order to keep the nutrition of the apple’s skin. Also it can remove the wax outside the apple and maintain the crispy texture of the apple’s skin. They also provide over 20 flavors of candy apple, such as with strawberries, cotton candy, chocolate bean, gummi bear, oatmeal, etc. Because of the colorful candy apples attract a lot of people.

Taiwan – Night market @Shida (1)
The foods in each Taiwanese night market are pretty much the same. However each night market has some foods which are more popular and more delicious than other night markets.
Xu’s Sheng Jian Bao
Fried Bun (Sheng Jian Bao, Chinese: 生煎包)
This is one of the popular foods in Shida night market(師大路夜市). The ingredients are cabbage and pork. This bun is a little bit like “fried xiao long bao”. Unlike other dry traditional Chinese bun, this bun has a juicy filling. The outside has served with sesame that makes the bun smell much better. The juicy fillings and the crispy texture of the bun become a popular food of this store. The bun best eat in hot, otherwise the skin will become oily. But be careful with the juicy filling.
The store provides a unique spicy sauce that makes the bun more delicious. But if you do not like spicy food I think it is delicious without any sauce as well.
In order to control the large amount of people and be more organized, the store has a machine that gives every customer a ticket. Address: No.24, Longcyuan St., Da-an District, Taipei City 10645, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Tel: 02-2223-1861. Service Hours: 16:00 – 23:00
Lantern Lou Mei (燈籠滷味)
Lou mei is one of the traditional foods in China and Taiwan. The popular of this store is according to their special soy sauce which is neither too salty nor tasteless. You are able to choose any fresh foods from the chat. The more you pick, the expensive will be, fair enough!
There are bean, Chinese mushroom, Chinese noodle, chicken’s kidney, chicken wing, meat balls, sausage, pepper, cabbage, green bean, etc. You can choose anything that you like.
