How can i miss eating Xiao Long Bao in 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) when i'm in Taipei? Even if this can be found easily in Singapore, the Taiwan version is still the original... OK, but i have to admit, they taste the same as the Singapore version... duh....
Of course, another must-not-miss is the Shilin Night market. This photo was taken as i was in the queue for the Giant Chicken Chop, which has also spawned a copycat in Singapore. Even though the queue was outrageously long, the stall owner was surprisingly efficient in tending to their customers.
This is what the chicken chop looks like. We also got the Bitter Gourd milk to go with it, which we read and heard we must get. It's been said that the chicken chop-bittergourd milk combo is a tantalising treat, and the stalls are just next to each other for convenience.
Do you recall i tried the Oyster Omelette in Kaohsiung earlier. This is the Taipei version, which tastes a little different. I prefer this one actually, and i scouted for this stall for the owner of this stall was the one used to train Show Luo for his hawker character in 'Corner With Love'....akakakaka.....
Ohhh, look! A stall selling ice! We were absolutely spoilt for choice, just look at the numerous flavours they offer!
After minutes of pondering, i finally got the Mango Ice.... it was grrrrrreat!
Another attraction that i found here was this : 大餅包小餅 ( translated as small biscuit wrapped in big biscuit). Looks like 'hum chim peng' right? It comes in multiple flavours for you to choose from. You can either pick salty ( curry etc.) or the sweet ( red bean etc.) versions.
After making your choice, they will proceed to wrap the 'hum chim peng' in something that looks like roti canai, and they use some sort of tool to pound the inner 'hum chim peng' to pieces. This is what it looks like after having a bite. Groovy!
