Day 05: Dashing from Taipei to Tainan – Food Hunting at Zhonghua Night Market

View this post on Instagram

Ok, let's visit the Zhonghua Night Market. This seems very different from the rest. Not a pedestrian only night market. Instead stalls are alongside the mainroad. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #?????

Quite a quiet night market which is quite good in some ways. Don't have to keep rubbing shoulders. But that also means less food options. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #?????

Squid or cuttlefish? I dunno.. I always get confused myself. And also I come to notice, most Taiwanese dish are very starchy. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #squid #cuttlefish

40 years? Another one? Almost all shop claims they have a heritage at least 20 years. Ok, we'll try the 40 years of experience in making meat dumplings. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #?????

Bawan, also known as Taiwanese meatballs are savoury stuffing.. mainly minced meat wrapped with glutinous like flour which was firstly steamed. Then cook in a pot of oil in low temperature. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #meatdumplings #taiwanesemeatballs #bawan #??

The meatball appear to be served this way. With loads of chili sauce and some sweet and savoury sauce. Hmm.. can't even see the original food anymore. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #meatdumpling #taiwanesemeatball #bawan #??

Bite size meat, boneless.. and fried. Of course I won't have any complain. It's heavenly!! Best and unexpected part, it's still juicy and tender despite it being deep fried and it's pork rib. We all know how lean meat is especially after fried.. dried and is like eating a tree branch. So yes, I walloped a lot of this. Now I need a drink. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #friedporkribs

Interesting and minimalist shop design. What I love about this.. a lot of space.. with an island work space. You can see them blend and juice at any angle. The backdrop.. rows ans rows of imported milk, which is key ingredient. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #avocadomilkshake #avocadomilk #?????? #gaobeimilkking

I like the pastel green colour. Also the creamy texture. Always thought it would be very geli.. but quite good. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #?????? #avocadomilk #avocadomilkshake #gaobeimilkking

Lol.. reminds me of our mee mamak. Of course no spicy version. Seems this is also another old shop with probably 30 years. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #friednoodles #porksoup

Looks so tempting and good. I thought it would be bland since the colour are so boring.

Minced pork soup with bamboo shoots. Quite similar to MY style except we don't really use bamboo shoots. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #taichung #?? #zhonghuanightmarket #????? #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #porksoup #mincedpork
