Street food foray into Taiwan's night markets
The 10 best dishes from Taiwan's night markets -- made to make your mouth water

By Derrick Chang 24 January, 2011 

OK, you don't go to a night market for a sumptuous feast worthy of Michelin stars and postcards home. But in Taiwan, the imagination and innovation on display in even some of its simplest snack stalls is something to behold.

Its night markets are run through with traditional foods, deliberately unchanged for generations, right next to food hawkers deconstructing and reconstructing street food essentials into something that's at least worth a quick email (or article).

So here's a quick tour of the top night markets in four major cities around Taiwan, and their most salivatory dishes.

Stinky tofu 臭豆腐

Shares the same love or hate relationship most people have with durian. Stinking, fermented tofu is deep fried and served with pickled cabbage, carrots and chili sauce.

I hated stinky tofu when I tried it in mainland China, Hong Kong and other Chinatowns around Asia, but I love Taiwan’s version. It’s sold everywhere in Taiwan, so just head towards that stink you smell at the night market. 

Get your stinky tofu at: Raohe night market, Taipei 台北饒河夜市

Rice/Taiwanese sausage 大腸包小腸

Rice sausage wrapped with Taiwanese sausage. Sticky rice is stuffed into sausage casing, grilled, cut open and is used as the ‘bun’ for the traditional sweet Taiwanese sausage. You won’t mistake it for street meat from New York City, but it’s pretty good. 

For all your rice sausage needs: Ruifeng night market, Kaohsiung 高雄瑞豐夜市

Coffin bread 棺材板

A specialty from the night markets of Tainan, a slice of thick-cut white bread is deep fried to a golden crisp then the top is cut open and creamy seafood chowder is poured in. Think of it as Tainan’s version of the San Francisco bread-bowl chowder.

Deep fried prawns 炸蝦捲

The key to any deep-fried savory dish is crispy outside, soft on the inside, and this snack from Tainan does it perfectly. Freshly caught prawns are battered and insta-deep fried and served with a sweet brown sugar sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi for a sweet, sour, nose-clearing finish.

Find them at: Xiaobei night market, Tainan 台南小北成功夜市

Stewed pork rice 滷肉飯

Pork belly or shoulder is slowly stewed with no fewer than 10 ingredients from the morning hours until the night market opens. It’s an open secret that the sauce that’s unused the day before is used the next day -- and that’s why it tastes so good. In northern Taiwan, the pork is minced while in the south they use pork cubes.  This is a very commonly eaten dish on the night-market circuit.  Sometimes shredded chicken is added to a bowl of stewed pork rice.
