The Night Market

One thing that Taiwan is famous for is its Night Markets. Night Markets sell a variety of food and drink, clothes, accessories, etc. and are very popular with young people. They are busy places with lots of bright lights, sounds, smells and general hustle and bustle and can be found all over Taiwan.

One food that Taiwan is famous for and that can be
found at Night Markets is Stinky Tofu (not 'skllnky'
as the photo suggests!)

Stinky Tofu is bean curd that has

fermented (yummm!) and is so called

because, as you can probably imagine,

it STINKS! It's cooked in a variety of

different ways

Paul being brave and trying the fried
variety! (Actually, it didn't taste too
bad...)

Another famous Taiwanese food that can be found at

Night Markets is Ji Pai

Ji Pai is basically the whole front of a chicken which

is pounded flat, breaded and deep fried...if you can

imagine a giant chicken nugget but crispier on the

outside and juicier on the inside you're pretty close!

And a famous Taiwanese drink that can

be found at Night Markets is Pearl Milk

Tea, also known as Bubble Tea or

Boba Tea

Pearl Milk Tea is iced, sweetened,

milky tea which has chewy tapioca balls

or 'pearls' in it. Sounds strange, and at

first we weren't sure, but we've grown

to love it!

So if you want a fun and interesting evening out in Taiwan, a Night Market is the place to go!
