18/22 raohe.night.market.饒.河.夜.市

you left yilan for taipei. back to urban city and back to night life.  something you missed after a few days in the country side of taiwan. you're city gal after all!  the night market that you're visiting is not the famous one, raohe street night market located nicely just a few metro shops away from where you lodged.
 you're determined to try the pepper pork bun and the line was long. you stood in the line for about 20 minutes before it's your turn to order your buns.
 one bite, it's totally worth the effort and the queuing!  burst with spicy pepper, full of the aroma of the spring onion and juicy pork patty. he called this chinese pork burger! it's delicious and it's filling!
 you didn't try this drink but this seem to be a very popular bottle
 as you walk along the street, there are more stalls, more people but the strolling is interesting and not tiring.  let alone you're not sweating as you can feel the hint of autumn in the air....
 obviously more food, so much that you don't know where to start and what to choose
 he opt for this grilled octopus
 while you decided on this braised duck wings (滷味). it's yummy!
 and you finally found your ultimate hunt to the famous fried taro balls at the end of the street.  you had a taro ball and a salted egg yolk taro ball.  you wish you could order more but you know your stomach cannot contain them all, so you're happy with your two balls and it's so good!
 then you turnaround and walk slowly back to the starting point and see more food.... for you the taro balls are the end of your meal
 whilst for him, he is still hunting for his perfect bowl as if what you have eaten along the way has not been considered as dinner...
finally he settled with this bowl of soup, fake shark fin soup and you could officially end your night market food hunt.
it's interesting, vibrant and you just loved the scents and the aroma, and to the extend the noise of the people walking around and the stall owner shouting to attract attention.  finally, you're back to the city life.
