Ningxia Night Market

Located between Minsheng West Road and Nanjing West Road in Taipei, Ningxia Night Market is a street of gastronomical fun that extends a few hundred meters long. It was even named the most convenient, delicious, charming, people- and environment-friendly night market in Taipei. There are myriads of street food for you to explore, including deep-fried taro balls, oyster omelettes, freshly squeezed juice, and many more. Some historic eateries surrounding the night market are also worth a try such as Tofu Pudding Shop, Shuanglian Sweet Rice Ball, Shuanglian Duck and Xianglian Teppanyaki.

Liu’s Taro Ball is an all-time crowd magnet. Stuffed with pork floss and salted egg yolk, these deep-fried taro balls are flavorful yet not overly greasy. If you want to try some tasty omelettes topped with a generous serving of fresh, briny, plump oysters, make your way to Laiji and Yuanhuanbian. To put a sweet end to your gastronomical scavenger hunt, a visit to Daqiaotou Xiangji is necessary, where the chewy, sticky rice cake (mochi) is rolled in the fragrant peanut powder and makes a perfect dessert to finish off a street food feast. Make sure you try some “hot mochi ice” here as the indescribable sensation of hot and cold mixing together will only leave you asking for more!
