The Heart of the Night Market

Street Food in Taiwan

The real fun of a Taiwan trip — hunting down street food

Night-market street food is the highlight of any Taiwan trip. Giant fried chicken cutlets, scallion pancakes, and skewered meatballs are all cheap enough to graze from stall to stall.

What Makes It Special?

01

A little at each stall

The best way to enjoy a night market is grazing across several stalls, not filling up at one.

02

Follow the local line

A stall with locals queuing is usually a good sign.

03

Bring cash

Most stalls are cash-only — carry small bills.

How to Enjoy It

  • ✓6pm–10pm is when most night markets are liveliest
  • ✓If hygiene is a concern, favor stalls that cook to order
  • ✓Carry small bills (under NT$100)
  • ✓Most stalls will pack food to go if you'd rather eat back at your room
