Taiwan Trip: Shin Yeh & Shilin Night Market


We parted ways on the metro train, arranging to meet up back at the hotel after our appointment. 

 I headed to Taipei 101, where Clarins had reserved a table for our dinner
  
Brunty couldn't make it for dinner, so it was just me, Clarins & Crispy. Shin Yeh @ Taipei 101 is located on the 85th floor. 
 Even the walk into the restaurant is literally 诗情画(花)意, with poems on the walls and fresh flowers decorating the walkway. 

If I recall correctly, there is a minimum spending of NT$X amount per person to dine in this restaurant.

There are several Shin Yeh branches around the whole of Taipei, but this is the only branch that boosts a nice view of the city.

Crispy is always gamed to try out anything new & loves all sorts of cuisines. So, we ordered some of their signature dishes for him to try out.

 It was fun meeting up with them and learning more about other markets. Even though Clarins & me shared similar roles, the way our clients used the product is so different across different markets. So, it's always interesting to exchange notes and brainstorming ideas.

 I brought back some snacks for Leecher & family - chewy rice dumplings from Shin Yeh. The dumplings were very chewy (QQ, as what we would call it in local language) & extremely flavourful!

Meanwhile, while I was enjoying my food up on the 85th floor, Leecher & family went to Shilin Night Market for dinner.

The famous 豪大大鸡排 which is a must-try @ the night market.

 The legendary stinky tofu, which only smells stinky but taste like normal tofu. In fact, Leecher said this version is very mild from those that he tried before.

滷肉飯, another Taiwanese must-try dish. 

Still not very used to their version of Fried Oyster, but I guess its something new to try for the parents :) 

 
大腸包小腸 is actually a pork sausage wrapped in a glutinous rice sausage. This was actually a creation of the night market vendors and promptly became a must-eat item in the night market.

Ended the night walking through the alleys of the night market, watching locals playing games and trying to score that big win!
