After a long day in which we flew over Canada, Alaska, Siberia, and Japan, we finally landed in Taipei. The airport MRT train whisked us to Taipei Main Station, about a 10 minute walk from our hotel. We opted to go straight for sensory overload at one of Taiwan’s favorite pastimes: the night market. Ningxia Night Market has a dizzying array of fresh-cooked food, drinks, and novelties (like fishing your own shrimp out of a kiddie pool for dinner). Our first stop was a scallion pancake stand - made to order for 40NTD ($1.33 USD). The 15-minute line raised our expectations, and the food did not disappoint. We then wanted something a little more substantial, so we paid 110NTD ($3.60) for a bowl of earthy mushroom spout soup and 10 steamed pork dumplings. Everything was brought right from the cart to our table. The food was delicious and perfectly seasoned.
