It's stinky tofu and fried chicken galore
When in Taiwan, hit the night markets. Even if food is not at the top of your holiday itinerary, it will be once you follow the smell of stinky tofu to the rows of food stalls and discover how delicious every dish is, even that stinky thing. In the capital city of Taipei, night markets are everywhere, guiding you as you explore Taipei one mouthwatering dish at a time.
3. Linjiang Street (Tonghua) Night Market – For a traditional taste at the central location
After getting your shopping done at Taipei 101, chill out and fuel up at the Linjiang Street night market, just one MRT stop away. Also known as Tonghua night market, it’s frequented by locals almost more than tourists, so you can look forward to an authentic experience. Most of the dishes still follow traditional recipes. There’s a lot to sample, but don’t leave without savouring a juicy gua bao (Taiwanese hamburger) from Shi Jia Gua Bao, or a peanut ice-cream roll from Masa Spring Roll Ice Cream.
Linjiang Street, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106
