Raohe St Night Market, Taipei


After 3 years in Taipei, we finally got round to visiting Raohe St Night Market. It's smaller than Shilin Night Market, a little less modern (or a lil more traditional) than Shida Night Market, and a bit more congested than Tonghwa Night Market as the lanes are narrower.


Apparently, one of the street foods that Raohe Night Market is famous for is pork ribs herbal soup with "Lu Rou" (or stewed pork) rice. We tried it at this stall ...



"Lu Rou Fan" aka stewed/braised minced pork with rice ...


We also noticed a number of stalls selling deep fried stinky tofu ... I have to admit this is my fav Twnese street food, so I was happy to try out a few different stalls. This was one of my favorites ... the tofu was nice and crisp with a centre loaded with a healthy serving of mashed garlic, and pickled cabbage with the perfect balance of sourness and sweetness.


Stinky Tofu from a different stall ... this was super crisp as it was cut into smaller triangles and deep fried. The only thing missing was the garlic paste and more crunchy cabbage ...


"蛋糕" ... basically like thick pancake in various shapes with a crisp exterior (when freshly made) ... this one had them in Spongebob Squarepants' characters ...


Here's the "蛋糕" ... cute!
