Songshou Rd Night Market Mystery
I'm heading to @Taipei next month and plan on spending a good chunk of time exploring Songshou Road Night Market. I've heard tales of hidden stalls tucked away in side alleys, selling the most incred… more
Forget the side alleys, the really good stuff is often right in the open, but you gotta know what to look for. Skip the obvious oyster omelets (unless you're really craving them). Instead, hunt down a stall selling gua bao – but not just any gua bao. Look for one with some unusual fillings. I once found a stall near the quieter end of Songshou, closer to the MRT station, that did a gua bao with braised pork belly AND a fried egg. Seriously life-changing. It wasn't flashy, just a small stand with a few handwritten signs. You'll probably need to wander a bit; that's half the fun. And don't be afraid to just look at everything – the best finds are often the ones you stumble upon.
Wufenpu Woes?
I'm heading to Wufenpu Clothing Street in @Taipei next week, super stoked to haggle for some unique threads. Heard it's a total sensory overload – amazing, but also kinda terrifying. My biggest fear?… more
Wufenpu's a blast, but yeah, it's a maze! Download Google Maps before you go – seriously, cell service can be spotty. Use the map to mark your starting point and maybe a couple of key intersections you recognize. Don't be afraid to backtrack – it's all part of the adventure. As for cool stalls, just wander! The best finds are often tucked away. Look for places with lots of people milling around – usually a good sign. Food-wise, you'll find tons of amazing stuff nearby. Look for little hole-in-the-wall places, the ones with lines. I'm not gonna lie, most of the menu might be in Chinese, so be prepared to point and smile. Don't be afraid to try something unfamiliar – it's half the fun! Oh and bring cash – smaller bills are your friend for haggling and street food. Have an awesome time!
