Ningxia Night Market is located in the Datong District in Taipei. It's a 10-minute walk north of the Taipei Main Station.
The main street is lined with covered stalls.
The street is full of small businesses selling food. This shop is famous for oyster omelets and has a Michelin rating.
Oyster omelets are my favorite Taiwanese street food. The oysters are small and are incorporated into a gelatinous/egg base with green vegetables. A sweet sauce is served with it. The description is not appetizing but it sure is good. NT$70 ($2.25).
Peanut Ice Cream Roll stall.
Shavings of peanut brittle
The shavings are placed on a flour wrapper. Next, taro ice cream and cilantro are added then it's rolled like an egg roll. You might think cilantro is a strange addition but it makes this so tasty. NT$45 ($1.45) or 3 for NT$120 ($3.90).
The Liu Yu Zi stall sold deep fried taro balls.
Salted egg yolk or pork floss can be wrapped inside the taro ball before it is fried. NT$30 ($0.95) & NT$25 ($0.80).
This is the rice with braised pork stall.
The braised pork was so good. NT$30 ($0.95)
This stall was the only disappointment of the night.
I like rice stuffed inside pork intestine casing but this was too chewy. NT$50 ($1.60).
This is a Taiwanese burrito stall.
The fillings are mixed vegetables, eggs and ground peanuts. This was okay. Mine are better because I add hoisin sauce. NT$45 ($1.45).
We saw these candied tomatoes but didn't have a chance to try them.
Just outside of the Ningxia Night Market, we found this man making pork buns.
He slapped the buns inside this heated oven.
They were quite good and cost NT$35 ($1.15).
Nearby is this shaved ice shop.
We added green beans and peanuts on top. NT$40 ($1.30).
They also have soft tofu desserts. The tofu is so good in sugar water with boiled peanuts on top.
