Taipei,Taiwan: Authentic street food market in the heart of Asia




One thing that I will surely miss in Taiwan is their authentic Taiwanese foods. Talking about foods, every corners and streets of Taiwan has a lot of delicious foods that will surely melt your heart.  Night markets are absolutely packed with array of foods. They are cheap (NTD10 - NTD100) and gives lingering taste to tingle your taste buds! 


I came by there just to confirm all of it! I have read a lot of blogs and even watched vlogs about it. Since this is my first out of the country experience, the heart of Asia left me nothing but an absolutely great experience. Of course, they have wide range of local and international food selections and like what I've said, they're definitely cheap.

Ximending is known for its stalls for fashionable clothing and accessories embedded with the culture of Japan, Korea and even Western country.
