The Cat's Travel Guide: Shih-Lin Night Market

*Why you should go to Shih-Lin Night Market?

Shih-Lin Night Market is the largest and most well-known night market in Taipei, especially with regards to food. And also it's the most popular point of Taipei's night life (beside drinking and clubbing) among visitors alike. You can get really unique taiwanese foods there, such as oyster omelette, giant fried chicken steak, tempura, bubble tea, oyster vermicelli, or fried buns. And of course, the most notorious Taiwanese goodie--stinky tofu.

*How to get there?

By Subway: To get there, take the MRT Danshui Line (the Red line) to Jiantan Station. The food court is located directly across the street from the station with the rest of the night market spreading out to the north.

P.S

The most famous food in Shih-Lin Night Market I recommend will be the Oyster Omelette. Here's how they make the Oyster Omelet (from wikipedia):

"The dish consists of an omelette with a filling primarily composed of small oysters. Starch (typically potato starch) is mixed into the egg batter, giving the resulting egg wrap a thicker consistency. Pork lard is often used to fry the omelette. Depending on regional variation, a savory sauce may then be poured on top of the omelette for added taste.

Spicy or chili sauce mixed with lime juice is often added to provide an intense taste."

If you're sea-food lover, and really want to see what taiwanese food tastes like,Oyster Omelette is definitely a dish you shouldn't miss.
