Dinosaurs are 짱

Hey everyone~ back with another Taiwan blog post.

It has taken me quite a while to visit Raohe nightmarket, which is one of the most famous nightmarkets in Taipei. I finally did that in June...so most of these photos are quite old.

How to get there:

Take Green Line (#3) to Songshan station

Get out of exit 5.

There you are.

Raohe is a nightmarket that's perfect for foodies.

There's basically only food.

No unnecessary clothing or accessory stalls, only food.

And a few places for massages.

There's quite a few juice stalls at Raohe so get a refreshing drink before you explore the nightmarket thouroughly. My favourite juice is usually plain watermelon juice.

One of my favourite snacks was this tiny bread thingy:

This stall is right at the entrance to Raohe nightmarket, and they have quite a few different flavours.

I got the sesame one, super delicious!

Another special discovery: Tapioka Custard Wheelcakes!

You'll find those delicious little cakes in every night market, but i have never seen ones that had tapioka before.

Unfortunately, except for 3 tiny Tapioka pearls they weren't any special, nor very delicious.

Something super special, that I haven't got to try yet:
Cactus juice!

I wonder how that tastes like

Jelly that looks like popsicles.

I was slightly disappointed when I found out it wasn't popsicles.

My favourite thing to buy at Raohe is simple, yet delicious:

Grilled mushrooms.

You get to choose between quite a few flavours, I usually pick the pepper& fresh lemon one.

A small box costs 50NTD, a big one 80.

Those are all photos of Raohe nightmarket so far.

Hope you enjoyed this post~

which food would you like to try the most? Please tell me in the comments below!

Love, Lydia

Hey everyone~

Today I'll show you one of the nightmarkets in Taipei that is, surprisingly, not mainly famous for it's food.

Shida nightmarket (師大夜市)

How to get there:

Take subway line #3 (Green Line) to Taipower Building Station.

Get out of exit 3, turn right twice and then you should reach Shida Road (師大路)

The market is along that road.

Shida nightmarket is named after the second best university in Taiwan, Taiwan National Normal University (called "Shida" ). Therefore it mostly caters to university students, and most of the stalls there sell fashionable, affordable clothes.

A lot of the shops sell "japanese" or "korean" style clothing. Which was probably bought in Wufenpu, but most clothes here are sold as "imported" from Korea or Japan in order to sell them more expensively. Thus, a lot of the stores include Korean in their names,

One store I really like there is Glad King:

The owner designs a lot of the items there himself, and they're pretty hilarious. I bought a T-shirt from them once, and it was pretty expensive (600NTD) but unique.

A lot of the designs feature Alpacas, such as Alpaca minions, or Captain Alpaca.
