Where Pasar Malam is defined...

Are you ready?
Here we go...My favourite Taiwanese snacks! For one week I lived to eat, not eat to live.


Smelly Tofu! Heaven on a plate...to me. =) I rather enjoyed ordering this just to torture mum. I have to admit it stinks but when you pop it into your mouth, the garbage odour doesn't translate onto the tastebuds instead it's just a piece of juicy crunchy tofu! Oh don't be such a sissy! All you chinese people out there step up to the plate, pinch your noses & give this unique dish a try.

Taiwanese sausages & meatballs! Ahhh...I can hear you guys say, "Aiyah, KL also got lah". But I say to you, "You haven't had sausage till you've had sausage in streets of Taiwan".



Oooohhh! This is an interesting one! I have no idea what it's called but I think the common name it goes by is "little roll wrapped in a big roll". You see the golden brown puffs? They pop one of those onto a regular spring roll skin & then HAMMER the life out of it till it turns into crumbs, sprinkle some flavouring onto it & roll it up spring roll style. Soft on the outside, crunchy on the inside. The flavours came in a huge variety namely peanut, yam, chocolate, black sesame & even curry if I remember correctly. I'd love to show you a photo of the thing itself but...err...it ended up in my tummy before I could take a photo (for some odd reason this happened a lot in Taiwan). And strangely enough, this snack is only found at the Shih Lin Night Market.




Pork Ball & "Fook Chow fishball" Noodle! Wah! The Fook Chow fishball is especially yummy because it has minced pork filling. :D Mind you, one of this babies were just below the size of a tennis ball.

Are we done? No no NO...
Fried Devilfish

Barbeque "everything" on a stick. I really mean everything.

Seafood noodles, plenty of cuttlefish, prawns & eels!

Steamed crabs

Fried Mushroom

And that's just the pasar malam food. This post is for Wen Qi, for all those times she tortured us with her mouth-watering, tummy rumbling inducing food blog posts. Haha! Love you dear, but revenge sure is sweet. More to come! :D
