  • All the must-eat food to try at Raohe Nigh Market in Taipei, Taiwan!
    It's our first time staying in Ximending, Taipei, and we start our Taipei tour at a budget friendly hotel right by the city's most adorable Hello Kitty-themed convenience store.
    Taiwanese Street Food is on another level, and one of the best places to visit to experience the flavors of Taipei is at the Raohe Night Market 饒河街觀光夜市. Located in the capital of Taiwan, we dig in to all the must-eat food to try on your next visit. From Michelin rated pork pepper buns to fried sweet potato balls and Taiwanese sausages, you never know what delicious surprise awaits.
    Just walking distance from the market is the Wufenpu Shopping District 五分埔商圈, Taipei's popular wholesale market where trendy clothing and bargains are waiting for be discovered.

    The food carts in ximending all run away bec there's a roving cop at the end 😂 they have lookouts. It's a cat and mouse game since the cops know the food carts are what tourists go there for. So the cops walk ever so slowly hoping not to catch anyone. Haha 😅

    The sausages are actually fresh and thus no need for preservatives, just the spices and flavoring that the vendor adds to the standard "red sausage" recipe. If you see a stall advertising boar or black pork instead of standard pork, it's usually worth a try especially for NA visitors that live with overprocessed and bland commercialized US pork.
    Also, that milkfish restaurant you visited is my in-laws favorite. We have been eating there since it opened and it's a nice local standout in Ximen.

    • @RalphSam

      Thanks for the tip! No wonder the sausages taste so good. The milkfish was our favorite too.

    Taiwan surprisingly feels just like Japan through your lens! We just came back from a 10-day Tokyo-Kyoto trip and we're already planning on coming back lol. Would you say Taiwan is a good next destination after Japan or do you have any other recos? :)

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  4 месяца назад

      Where are you guys traveling from? 😊 Taiwan has a different energy, but it does have a lot of Japanese influences since it was once a colony. It's an interesting blend of Chinese and Japanese. Would recommend it since it's not a long flight if you're also visiting Japan. 🤍

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  4 месяца назад +1

      not strict with itineraries, but we do research if there are certain events/ weekend markets we want to go to. we plan our days around certain areas or neighborhoods but leave room to explore. we definitely check out recommendations on google maps though to give us an idea of where to eat along the way! 😊
