Hit the Night Markets for Food in Taiwan (Part I)

Never have I seen such enthusiasm for night markets. There is a  night market for food in nearly every city in Taiwan. People flock to where the  markets are located whenever night falls. And then, the party begins.

I visited three night markets during my stay in Taiwan, and my  first stop was the Shilin night market, which is the largest and most popular of  its kind throughout the island. The market is divided into several sections  according to its business range. But my main interest was food.

Taiwan is in the subtropical and tropical zone  that is rich in fruit production. Fresh fruit juice is at its best here.  

One of the most well-known Taiwan snacks is the oyster  omelet. There are numerous kiosks selling oyster omelets, but they come with  different sauces that are usually secret family recipes.

Gaoxiong city's location by the ocean makes  the Liuhe night market an ideal choice for seafood.

Among the various choices of fresh shrimps, oysters and  crabs, you can choose what you want in your seafood soup.
