Everything I consumed at Shilin Night Market made my tummy do happy dances all night! 💃🏻 The torched wagyu cubes were jam-packed with savory juices. 👅 The cheese potatoes looked complicated but all the flavors—from the pineapple to the mayonnaise—married together so well! 👍🏼The fried milk was the absolute winner of my entire trip, though. 🍼 It was so good that I went back to get three more helpings! The candied strawberries were delicious. 🍓 I thought they'd be too sweet but the caramelized sugar perfecly complemented the natural sweetness of the fruit.

The best Thai Milk Tea I have ever tried is in Shilin Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan! It’s just one of the many outdoor stands in the night market and sometimes changes its position but just look for the sign “印度拉茶” as seen in the picture or in literal translation “Indian Tea”. I always go for the original Thai Milk Tea which is the best seller. I almost never leave Taipei without getting my dose of this!
While more on the touristy side (meaning inflated prices and huge crowds), Shilin Night Market is a must-visit for any traveller wishing to meander down the paths of local cuisine. The massive spread of stalls allows you to sample through a variety of Taiwanese delicacies (including Bib Gourmand listings), while shopping for souvenirs, playing games and having your fortune read by a bird (yes, you read that one right). Covering the whole market in a single visit feels impossible, and it's easy to get lost within the snaking alleys, so I recommend preparing an action plan of the stalls you want to visit. 🔜 You can read more about my recommended stalls in a separate list 💟 Eating around Taipei 💟 where I'll also share a secret about this market that only the locals know about! (this list is available to my Followers only, so do tap that green button on my profile to become a true Taipei foodie insider 😉)
It's the most popular night market in Taipei—and for good reason. Lots and lots of food; and in between those there are a million shops! Look for the deep-fried milk. I loved them so much, I went back twice!!!
Shilin Night Market is the largest and most famous night market in all of Taiwan! It comes alive around 5:00PM and stays busy until past midnight. Peruse countless shops offering souvenirs and local street food (we highly recommend that you hunt down the oyster omelet!). Trying everything all at once may seem tempting, but remember to pace yourself; you still have a lot of eating to do!

You’ve never been to Taipei if you haven’t visited Raohe Night Market. Fall in line and get the brick-oven pork bun right at the entrance of the market which is the market’s prized possession! 🥟

Baguio Night Market
What is Baguio without a shopping galore at the Night Market? There are tons of stalls selling all kinds of secondhand items fr. Clothes, shoes to bed sheets. With my shopping experience here , I'll rate siguro ng 5/10. Sobrang mahal ng mga pieces nila. :( imagine your fave Ukayan in Manila pag naka new arrival, ganun prices nila. But still okay pa rin bisitahin kasi ang dami mong pwedeng makita. Pero sobrang solid ng foodtrip here. Affordable and sobrang daming choices. #UkayJeaneration
