Shilin Night Market 士林夜市 ♥ ♥ ♥

 

This is Shilin Market on a weekday night

 

It is full of people, full of bargains, and full of life and energy

 

Well, except for this Skin Food angel who seems to be devoid of any feelings

 

I usually come after dinner so all I have are drinks.

 

My favorite almond tea

 

“Wow Frog Eggs” green bean + ai yu + fresh milk

 

And Frances’s favorite, Indian pulled tea

 

She pulls

 

And pulls

 

And serves you your tea in this cool little black garbage bag

 

Okay, I lied. Sometimes I have something to eat.

 

But you see, who has the power to resist these steaming sheng jian baos?

 

Tasty pork ball enveloped in a bun that is crisp at the bottom and soft all around. Deliciousness.

 

Grilling station

 

Barbeque squids

 

Check out these cute mini egg cakes

 

 
                                  Chicken                                                                            Motorcycle

 

 
                                         Pig                                                                  Elephants, guns, etc, etc.

 

 

Some cute finds:

Hair accessories in every color

 

Funky shoes. I buy the one on the right. Frances buys both.

 

We get these lens-less glasses just for kicks

 

And then at 1:30am, our stomachs scream for midnight snack

 

See, we are not the only hungry peoples at this ungodly hour

 

The place is packed

 

So we decide to take it home

 

The secret sauce in a pail

 

Plus Chinese spinach and lamb slices

 

It is 3am and we burp and we burp.
