    Banqiao Food Market

    October 9, 2016 in Taiwan ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

    There was a lot of markets in Taipei, from food markets to night markets. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to go to a night market, which was a shame. My uncle and aunt lives right next to a food market in the Banqiao District, and it was actually quite surreal - like, it's nothing similar to the Eat Street Market located in Brisbane or the lame as one that Toowoomba tries to replicate. When I say food market, it is legit all kind of food on the stand. Cooked, uncooked, biscuits, lollies, seafood, meat, veg, fries, fruits, nuts, just to name only a few.

    I came from a Western lifestyle, and remembers nothing from when I was 12yo, and I was completely blown away. Personally, I think it's so awesome and I'm all for it. How alive the place seemed, how loud it was.. It was almost as though I stepped into a whole new world. And there were all types of different food. The only food that I don't eat and will not give it a go are raw food and soggy carrots, so I was literally in heaven!
