Mode of transportation: the MRT "Songshan Station" 1 exit and then walk 1 minute.
Raohe Street Night Market is adjacent to Songshan Station, and it is the second sightseeing night market established in Taipei, with a well-known reputation.
The route of the night market is very simple, which is divided into two roads, two storefronts and a middle stall. Visitors follow the habit of "going right and returning left" by default. In addition to food, there are all kinds of clothing supplies that can be bought in buy buy ~
1. Kaga squid king
Raohe Street Night Market is the base camp of squid and medicinal food. The most common is scalding squid, scalding a bowl and shaking the sauce well, so you can eat it while walking with a bamboo stick. If you see a long queue in the arcade on the south side of Raohe Street, it must be the squid king of Kaga.
Ingredients are garlic, nine-story tower and sand tea, and peppers can be added by yourself. Although the taste is heavy, it is scalded and not greasy. Adding some sand tea and nine-story pagoda to enhance the fragrance will not overshadow the delicious squid.
2. Hey? age
Hey? Ji is a standard dessert shop, selling squid with sauce, beer snail and squid head with sauce. The squid sauce here is very special, and it tastes spicy for wine. Squid or squid head is suitable for matching with Taiwan Province sorghum or beer sold in the store. Squid is scalded before frying, and mixed with comprehensive nuts in the sauce, which makes it more full and solid.
As for beer snails, it is natural to match beer! The amount of sand tea and nine-story pagoda is more than that of ordinary stir-frying, and the aroma is enough. The snail meat is cut to a moderate size, and it is very pleasant to eat with bamboo sticks and beer or soda.
3. Siwei seafood soup
In addition to scalding or frying, squid is also made into soup. Siwei Seafood Soup, located in the south of the night market, is an old shop, with real materials, and many gourmets are full of praise.
"Four flavors" refer to squid, cuttlefish, clam and shrimp, which can be ordered individually or in a comprehensive soup. It's special to make soup with four kinds of seafood, and this seafood is especially fresh, and the larvae are even fatter if they are rich in spring. The most noteworthy thing is the cuttlefish, which is cooked just right, very elastic, and its toughness is extremely attractive.
Seafood soup with nine-story pagoda and celery is particularly refreshing, and then two drops of homemade spicy oil are added, and all the umami taste is awakened by these two drops of spicy oil.
Spicy stinky tofu is also worth a try, divided into four grades: small, medium, large and extra spicy, with duck blood and large intestine. When it is very spicy, the aroma and umami in the soup are forced out, and the delicious taste of large intestine and duck blood is more full. Love spicy food, let's try to see how Taiwan Province's "spicy" is different from that of Sichuan and Hunan.
4. Chen Dong stewed ribs with medicine
There are mainly three kinds of stewed pork ribs in Raohe Street Night Market: Jinlin, Shiquan and Chen Dong, but insiders know that Chen Dong's stewed pork ribs are old shops with more authentic taste. There are two places for Chen Dong's stewed pork ribs. The boss is two brothers, and they have not separated. They just set up shops at two ends, and there are more places.
Stewed pork ribs and stewed mutton are Hua Dan, with rich soup. The mutton is not soft and rotten, and the taste is solid. Angelica sinensis is added to remove the smell and bring a little sweetness. The ribs stewed with medicine have big bones and less meat, but they are more soft and tender than mutton.
Bean paste is an indispensable part of medicinal stew, and exquisite shops will cook it themselves. Chen Dong's bean paste has Chili flavor, but it is not spicy, and fresh sweet mutton is stained with a little, which is very colorful.
5. Lianjia pork knuckle noodles
Lianjia's pork knuckle noodle soup base is very thick, but unfortunately the noodle and pork knuckle are quite satisfactory. What's more worth eating is garlic paste and white meat. Pork belly, which is very common with tendon meat, has good chewiness. Because the meat is cut into large pieces, it is suitable for take-out, and it is eaten while walking with a bamboo stick.
6. Ma _ Ice House
Visiting the night market, of course, ends with a bowl of ice. Ma _ Ice House is famous in the dessert field of Raohe Street Night Market. Mango ice drenched with condensed milk, rich in sweetness, but not as good as mango. Another treasure of the town shop, Overlord Ice, is not small in weight and very enjoyable to eat.
Among them, the most amazing thing is the bottom of the snowflake ice. The ice in this house is sweet and a little sandy. Actually, _ _ has been added to the ice. With the soft and sandy snowflake ice, the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes. If you are not careful, it will be empty.
Time of Ningxia night market: daily17: 00-01:00.
Mode of transportation: The MRT "Shuanglian Station"/exit KLOC-0/takes about 8 minutes to walk.
Walking out of Shuanglian MRT Station and along Minsheng West Road, you can see a bustling street corner with bright lights. This is Ningxia Night Market.
The entrance to the night market is the junction of Minsheng West Road and Ningxia Road. There are many vendors outside, including several fruit juice vendors. The materials are real. You might as well have a cup before visiting the night market, and you can also taste special white jade bitter gourd juice and celery juice, which is unexpectedly cool and refreshing.
1. Apo rice ball
The most famous intersection is the "granny rice ball", which has been open for nearly 30 years. The original old granny has already retired and handed it over to future generations to take over the business.
Grandma's fried dough sticks are the most traditional way, with pickled dried radish, sauerkraut and fish floss, and there is no special stuffing. This practice is more difficult to take advantage of, and the proportion of stuffing is wrong, which will lose its flavor.
Grandma's rice ball is a family-run craft, and its quality has not fallen so far, but there are too many people waiting in line, and it will take at least 20 minutes. Frankly speaking, it is not necessary to eat it. It's best to walk around the night market first, pad your stomach, and then hang out in line if you are interested.
2. Duck head is the second generation
This stall doesn't sell duck heads, but it is famous for red meat curry rice and egg-wrapped guazai meat soup. The red meat of curry rice is quite chewy, but you don't have to try it specially. What really surprised me was their egg-wrapped guazai meat soup.
At the moment when the half-cooked egg package is cut, you can already feel the taste of egg yolk and fresh soup. Egg packets are made of duck eggs, which are fuller than eggs. Guazai meat is sweet and often used for meals. It is really a stroke of genius to put it in soup. It is no exaggeration to say that this bowl of soup is enough for half the food in Ningxia night market.
3. Lai Ji oyster omelet
The most popular night market in Ningxia is oyster omelet, among which Lai Ji is especially famous. Lai Ji's oyster omelet is elastic in taste, crisp and fragrant around, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It's best to eat it from the crispy part of the edge and gently fold off the sauce. The larvae are soft, tender and sweet.
If you feel greasy, you might as well come to a bowl of clam soup or pork liver soup to clear your stomach. The clam soup is made with shredded ginger, which is authentic. Pig liver soup is also very outstanding. The pig liver is thick and the sesame oil is just right, giving people a warm sense of happiness.
4. Cai Ji Jia yi chicken rice
Cai Ji Jiayi chicken in the middle of the night market is quite famous. Turkey is tender and tender, more elastic than chicken, which shows kung fu. After all, turkey is easy to burn, and some stores will pour a lot of chicken oil, but Cai Jichun wins by the taste of the meat itself, which is stronger and more elastic than ordinary chicken, but not too tough, and the sauce is even more subtle.
5. Liu Yuzai fried taro balls
Located in the middle of the night market, it sells crispy taro balls and egg yolk taro cakes. Taro balls are sweet and egg yolk balls are salty. Although they are just the same, they also cater for all kinds of needs of snacks.
This taro ball is first-class in frying, and it is not greasy at all, but Goose Jun prefers egg yolk taro cake. The salty taste of egg yolk and the sweetness of taro match unexpectedly, with rich layers and fragrant teeth and cheeks.
6. Tofu pudding Zhuang
Tofu pudding can definitely be regarded as the representative of Ningxia night market. The most famous ones here are Guzaowei Tofu pudding and Tofu pudding village, but Tofu pudding village is not in the night market, but separated by a street. It's been a long time in the crowd, so you might as well turn here and have a rest.
There is a kind of creative dessert in Tofu Hua Zhuang, called black-hearted white jade Tofu Hua, which is a small sesame dumpling created by the store. Tofu pudding is extremely fragrant, and sesame dumplings are pleasing to the eye. Sesame is sweet but not greasy, but it is too small and freezing, and it lacks a little aroma.
Four ingredients can be selected for _ _ ice, which has natural color and rich taste. The most special thing is the spoonful of black sugar water, which is made of authentic black sugar and tastes quite old-fashioned, echoing the "sweetness of old Taipei" declared by the store.
All in all, the food in Ningxia night market has a certain level, but there are not many really amazing things. The sightseeing night market is full of novelty and novelty, but some local simple smells are bound to be lost.
In contrast, the neighboring Yansan Night Market is not so famous, but it retains the persistence and intention of the old brand. Its delicacy is among the best in many night markets in Taipei, and it has retained the footsteps of many gourmets.
Time of Yansan Night Market: daily18: 00-00: 00
Mode of transportation: The MRT "Daqiaotou" Station 1 Exit is about 2 minutes' walk.
Yansan is the third section of Yanping North Road, which is the longest road in Taipei, passing through the old city of Taipei and all the way through Shezi Island, and there are many delicious foods along the way. There were many stories of elegance in the early years of Taipei Bridge. To the south was Dadaocheng Wharf, which was once a gathering place for cloth merchants and rice merchants. Nowadays, the lights at the bridgehead in Taipei are the same as before, and several old-fashioned vendors at the bridgehead have been in business so far, leaving behind the color, fragrance and warmth of authentic old Taipei.
1. Qiaotou Roufan
Rupilaf is everywhere in Taiwan Province, and the reason why Qiaotou Rupilaf stands out is mostly because the boss is skilled in knife work. The braised pork here is cut by hand, and the ratio of fat to thin is just right. The key to a good taste is to cut pieces of chopped braised pork neatly and delicately.
Braised pork is good, and the gravy can't be bad. The gravy of Qiaotou Pork Rice is definitely one of the best in Taipei. It is refreshing and not greasy, and its sweetness is restrained and simple. It is similar to the sweetness in the south of Taiwan Province, but it also has the aroma in the north, and the balance is amazing.
If you want to know the store's braised pork skills, you can also try cutting buns, a kind of food with two sides of skin and meat stuffing, which is often called "desktop burger". Generally, cutting is most afraid of the disharmony between the dry and wet ingredients, which will affect the taste of the skin. However, the Lu meat at the bridge head is well matched with the skin because of its solid stew, and its aroma is overflowing.
2. Shijia Fresh Meat Tangyuan
Shijia Fresh Meat Tangyuan is a favorite shop of nearby residents. The signature fresh meat dumplings are hand-made by the store from rice selection to stuffing. The skin is full of chewiness, which is the result of the boss's deliberate selection of old glutinous rice for winter and careful dehydration. The stuffing is made of black pig hind leg meat with various spices and oil onions, which tastes traditional Hakka. The aroma of oil onion harmonizes the fresh and tender stuffing with the glutinous rice skin, which is a wonderful match.
Shijia's drunken drumsticks are also well received. They are tender and elastic, and the taste of wine is not heavy. They are exquisite and suitable for drinking. Chicken legs are served with raw chopped green onion, which is not the common onion sauce, and mixed with fresh and sweet crystal aspic, which can better highlight the original flavor of chicken.
All the soup products of Shijia are delicious. The chicken soup with pineapple and bitter gourd is a small cup, but it is full of ingredients. The taste is fresh, sweet and practical, and it is very refreshing. Most of the flavor of chicken has been dissolved in the soup, and the dried fish is added to enhance the taste, which makes it more delicious.
3.shanwei tofu pudding
Next door to Shijia's fresh meat dumplings, there is a cedar-flavored tofu pudding, which is also overcrowded. In addition to beancurd, it also sells frozen products in summer. _ Ice contains ingredients such as pineapple, red beans, white fungus, peanuts, etc., and also uses traditional black sugar syrup, which tastes faintly sweet and sweet, quite charming.
