HUAXI Street / Night Market and Long Shan Temple

Our 1st night at Taipei..... after unpacking at Rainbow Hotel, we decided to walk to Carrefour to get some neccessities , Cup noodles and try to walk to Huaxi Street Night market.
We tried to get directions, but the people told us its too far to walk will take at least 30mins to reach.

Anyway, being adventurous, we went ahead and walk to Huaxi Street.
Here's a map taken from their MRT website. I have drawn out how we actually walk to huaxi street the "straight and safe" way.

Here we are finally! after approximately 30mins walk.

Its actually two sides Guilin Road. But the two straight lanes are not very happening. It was until we walk towards Guangzhou street night market that the night market feel starts to appear.

甜不辣
Big bowl for NT55.

Not sure what are all inside, its something like yong tau foo, with pork balls, fish cake, toupok and some weird stuff.

Ah wei decided to grab the 猪血糕....

It doesnt taste of the Pig blood , more like kueh to me.

The 蚝煎 or they call it the Orh Ah Jian. (Oyster Omelette)

Its well fried, crispy and oysters . But the sauce is sweet, not quite use to it.


Walking thru the crowded night market and trying to look at many things at one go, really make me dizzy. I was feeling nausea and blur vision when I get to the end of the street.

Was kind of worried that I get diarrhoea and viomitting..... made Weiwei worried too.

Heehee.. Heng Caught sight of Long Shan Temple, can take a rest there.

We were at the entrance of Long Shan Temple @ 930pm and its still open.

龙山寺

Its grand architecture makes me wonder if people take great pride in their temple structure...

A mini waterfall inside the temple!!

AFter circling one round inside the temple and still feeling abit sick, I had to tell weiwei to take me back to the hotel and we had to cancel the trip to Carrefour and get our toiletries at Watson's and 7-eleven instead.

Something to take note : You need to bring your own bag for your purchases, they charge you for the bags.

Before we got on the cab back to hotel, we bought Ma La Chou Dou Fu 麻辣臭豆腐

And "Big Intestine" although its actually glutinous rice made to look like intestine
