Night markets also offer a ton of fun street games from shooting BB guns to shrimp fishing. Make sure to visit a night market with a lot of friends for a hilarious evening.
My friends from the USA & Canada had a blast, we even tried the bizarre pig blood cake at the Tonghua night market costing only 30 NT or $1.00 USD. Pig blood cake rolled into peanuts and cilantro, a very odd flavour, definitely an acquired taste.
The Taiwanese street foods are so incredible cheap you just take a bit of everything you encounter and save the rest to snack on at your hotel or hostel.
My favorite Taiwanese street food item was the stinky tofy, althought the black pepper pork bun and pork belly bao came very close.
It is often difficult to locate these street foods in a country where no English street signs or shop signs are present. That’s why I included a detailed map with the exact locations to find these street foods to make your life a bit easier.
