Representation of the culture of Taiwan





Taiwan night market’s snacks known as xiao chi are definitely the first thing that comes across a tourist’s mind when we talk about the country. Besides being a great place to shop for bargains and feel the pulse of Taiwan's after-hours life, the authentic Taiwanese food can also be sampled at the night market. A stroll inside any night market is a guarantee to get tourists’ mouth watering as the smell of the food tempts their taste buds. (Taiwan Tourism Bureau, 2009- 2011)

The top ten Taiwan night market snacks include mini soup dumplings, crispy salt and pepper chicken, stinky tofu, oyster vermicelli, ba-wan (Taiwanese meatball), chicken rice, braised pork rice, shrimp rolls, oyster omelet and pearl milk tea.
