An unplanned adventure with just the two of us.

We both remain in Taiwan.

After exploring various locations, let's grab a bite to eat.

Raohe Street Night Market

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

We are still on the plan for a 5-day, 4-night trip to Taiwan.

Previously, we took everyone to explore

• Alishan

• Sun Moon Lake

• Hou Tong (Cat Village)

• Nine Turns

• Mao Kong

• Tamsui

• One Piece Café

Let's go on a hunt for delicious food at night.

Traveling to Hera is not difficult at all.

Simply take the MRT to "Songshan" Station - "G19".

A short walk from the Green Line skytrain station brings you to our destination.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

The pig said, "Keep fighting! An army marches on its stomach."

Let's go on an adventure to find new things!

Given our accommodation's proximity to the MRT station,

Taipei Main Station serves as a central hub for various public transportation options.

Regardless of

MRT Station (Taipei Metro)

Bus Station (Bus from Taipei to other cities)

TRA Station (Taipei Railway Station, similar to Hua Lamphong Station in Thailand)

High-Speed Rail Station (HSR)

There is no text to translate.

The interconnected stations are remarkably expansive.

The spacious underground passageway houses a variety of shops, catering to both tourists waiting for their connecting trains and local residents looking for a shopping experience.

However, …

Is this a joke about bears and pigs? Hehehehehe.

This is an empty paragraph.

Skip it.

We focus only on food!

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

.....................

I'm sorry, but I can't translate this sentence. It appears to be in a language that I am not familiar with. I can only translate sentences from Thai to English. Would you like me to try translating something else?

This is reminiscent of dishes seasoned with spices or traditional Chinese medicine, a notable observation upon arriving in Taiwan or mainland China.

People here walk a lot, and while walking, we often see people gnawing on chicken legs. This is not unusual, but what is more unusual is that some people walk around gnawing on chicken feet on the streets.

It seems to be a local custom.

However, we did not try it, so we skipped it.

Haha.

The station is also full of tempting dessert shops.

It's truly difficult to choose.

The market offers a diverse range of products, including bubble tea shops, souvenir stores, bakeries specializing in authentic bread, shops selling pineapple cakes (as pictured), and much more.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Who is the real person behind the sweet story?

This restaurant seems like a good fit.

There are both egg tarts and cream puffs (the giant eclair-like thing at the bottom, you know).

And finally, we ended up at this restaurant.

The salesperson's friendly invitation was a key factor in the customer's decision to make a purchase.

She claims that if someone dares to invite her to eat, it means their food must be truly delicious.

"If it wasn't good, he wouldn't dare invite you… Really!!!"

What we have obtained is:

Various fillings for "Daifuku mochi".

In terms of taste:

I must confess and admit that I am indifferent to this matter.

However, as mochi is mochi, many people probably eat it for its soft and chewy texture, as the mochi dough itself is almost the same everywhere. It's okay, I guess. Passable.

After leaving Taipei Main Station,

Let's take a look at เหราเหอ.

Upon arriving at Songshan Station, we exited through the north gate and walked just one block down the street, where we encountered the magnificent structure of the "Lady of the Rocks Temple".

However, as we arrived quite late and were feeling hungry, we decided to explore the night market for some food first.

The Hera Hera Night Market is located on the left-hand side of the Wat Chao Mae Thap Thim temple (facing the temple).

The atmosphere is quite lively, comparable to Khao San Road in Bangkok at night.

The bustling streets are filled with shoppers, from couples and friends to families, all seeking delicious treats and unique finds.

Must-try foods in Taiwan

'Bubble tea'

However, we forgot to take a picture in front of the store.

I apologize. ><!!

The first real food we encountered was...

This is the store.

Grilled squid

The pig is not usually a big fan of squid, finding it tough and chewy.

However, the owner of this restaurant, Mr. Moo, claims that the pork is edible due to its tender texture and ease of chewing. It is also coated with the restaurant's special sauce and sprinkled with chili powder.

Translation:

This is an empty paragraph.

For those who don't like spicy food, don't worry. Their chili peppers are not as spicy as ours. Relax and enjoy.

Scallops are also available for sale.

However, the restaurant I frequent specializes in game meat.

This is the absolute best.

This restaurant's "grilled meat".

Entering the market shortly on the right-hand path

(The path splits into two directions. You can choose to go right or left first.)

This restaurant is actually a franchise, and there are two other restaurants of the same brand inside the same building. If you don't want to wait in the long queue at the first restaurant, you can walk in to the other two.

Let's take a closer look at the sub-claims of this restaurant's content.

Thank goodness, it's finally time to eat!

This exceeded all expectations.

Although the price may seem high at 200 TWD, the quality and quantity of the meat make it worth the price.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of flavors to choose from.

Salt, pepper, chili, teriyaki, etc.

The food at this market is truly diverse.

Let's see.

Grilled chicken

Pork leg

Watermelon Smoothie

This one... I don't know the name.

However, it evokes a similar feeling to a Japanese fish-shaped pastry that can be filled with various ingredients.

We opted for cheese and chocolate, an unexpectedly harmonious pairing.

(We thought our choice of flavor was strange, but the vendor was even stranger for making it = = )

Price: 8 TWD

This is an empty paragraph.

And now, for our final and most exciting dish, the highlight of the menu...

If you're in Taipei and come across this corn, don't miss out on trying it!

You are absolutely right.

Translation:

This is an empty paragraph.

The incident occurred while I was waiting for grilled meat.

The pig acted like Tik Jesdaporn, a food hunter, searching for food.

I couldn't resist the salesperson's invitation. She said she had been walking for a long time and had passed many stores, but no one had invited her to buy anything.

The corn vendor suddenly beckoned her to buy something.

She went.

Translation:

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

She ran back with an excited look on her face.

"This corn must be delicious. The vendor even encouraged me to buy it. If they're confident enough to recommend it, it must be good, right?"

Hmm... This is going in...

A simple yet delightful treat: grilled sweet corn on the cob, sprinkled with cinnamon powder.

Translation:

This is an empty paragraph.

Translation:

Cost of damage: 80 TWD T^T

Note: The original text includes an emoticon, which is not translated.

Observe the facial expressions of the cinnamon-roasted corn selector.

She observed many people eating it, leading her to believe it must be delicious.

Translation:

Sure, here is the translation:

Okay, I'll lend it to you, my dear.

Translation:

However, overall, Hehua is another interesting place for those who have never been there. When it comes to night markets in Taipei, the ones we often hear about are Shilin Night Market, Shida Night Market, and Ximen. If you haven't been to any of these yet, give Hehua a try!

We, full from the night market, arrive here.

And with that, we conclude our review.

Translation:

This is an empty paragraph.

This will be our final review of Taiwan.

This is a review of Taipei.

Thank you for today.
