Night market street food. Not exactly the cleanest food on the planet, but close to the most delicious! Since my sister and I were snacking all day, we decided to snack some more for dinner at a neighborhood street market!
My mom and her sister claims that this stand's "o-a-mi-sua" <-Taiwanese (slender noodles with oysters) is the best around, so we quickly grabbed some open seats (there were barely any!) and ordered. You know a stand is good if there's a line!

Why does this picture look so close? Because I sat at the stand. I had the giant bowl of it cooking right in front of me. It was so hot!
My mom also ordered this glutonous rice with Pork Sung (Rou Song) 肉鬆 and "Jiang Gua" 醬瓜 dish. It was average compared to the o a mi sua. This felt like dry "xi fan" Chinese porridge.
This was the O a mi sua. SOOOO delicious!

Pig feet. 豬腳 I love pig feet! It might sound disgusting, but this is one of my favorite dishes in the world! Especially stewed with peanuts! I wanted to have some of this, but I was too full. :( My mom makes it the best!
Seasoned stir fried shrimp. Yum.
This is my favorite chinese street snack! Maybe not this kind in particular, I like the big ones, not these tiny little ones, but they're basically just egg cakes. So delicious when it's nice and warm.
In Taiwan, apparently Bitter Melons 苦瓜 are popular to add into fresh fruit smoothies now. I knew they were good for you, but that sounds pretty disgusting to me. I love Bitter melon 苦瓜 soup though.
Takoyaki in Taiwan! Not too shabby either! This stand had a long line, so we figured that we should try some.
The making of Takoyaki.
It was so hot (temperature wise) but actually really good! I attended the Cherry blossom festival in San Francisco last year, and this one was better than the Takoyaki stand there! AND I waited an hour for that one in SF.
My uncle decided to have us try this Cong Bing 蔥餅. It's quite different from the traditional Cong You Bing 蔥油餅, as all the onions are wrapped inside the bun.

Luo Bo Gao (Turnip Cake) 蘿蔔糕 , another yummy street food snack.
I forgot what these are called, but it's like a mochi exterior and it's stuffed with either green bean paste, red bean paste, taro paste, or this yellow custardy paste. They were ok in my book. Not awesome. I'd rather have filled my stomach with some egg cakes.
And the world famous Chou Dou Fu (Stinky Tofu) 臭豆腐. I think it smells good, but it's probably cause I grew up with it and I love it!
Til next time! May your days be delighted with many delectable dishes.
