TAIWAN 2017 – SHILIN

We visited the Shilin night market for dinner on that first day, right after Beitou, and we were greeted by vendors on both sides. Their tactic is to assume you have already agreed to get something from their stall, and they aggressively ask whether you want one or two, small or large… Here’s one of the first braised meat rice dishes that we had from a quieter shop, tucked away at the back of the Shilin night market:



Then, we found the famous fried chicken stall, that actually had a huge line up, so they had no need for a pushy sales person at their stall. Note that the sign says 70NT, which comes to just under $3 CAD:



We also went into the covered market place, which had a food court at the bottom floor, where lots of seafood was lying around, waiting to be eaten. Here’s an egg oyster omelet that they serve with sauce: 

I did a bit of shopping here too. We were exhausted.

PS – Weekends are too short. I’m still scrambling to finish these blog posts about Asia.
