3. What we would like to introduce includes… The novel things you might have never seen. The reasons you might want to visit Taiwan.

4. First, the Crane Game! Yup! This is the game you have probably heard of in the video game Mario Party playing Nintendo 64, except that we have the real version!

5. In America, you only see these machines in Las Vegas, but in Taiwan, you can find them almost anywhere.

6. How to play? There are various kinds of items displayed in a clear box. You push in a coin to start the machine. Control your “crane” or “claw” so it is right above the item you want. Press the “ Go ” button and it all goes down to luck. It is not as easy as it seems.

7. What’s inside it? The items in the machine may include stuffed animals, key chains, wallets, and even watches!

8. What else? When you get lucky, you can own the item without paying the full price. If you have tried and failed, and have already pushed in the coins of the same value, inform the clerk, and he’ll open up the machine and give it to you as a purchase. It is a great game that collaborates purchasing and the fun of the game.

9. Then… Taiwan’s famous food or snacks, which can easily be seen at the unique night market.

10. Stinky Tofu Some think it smells bad, Some think it smells good. From a distance, it does smell irritating, but the closer you get, the nicer it smells. Moreover, when it enters your mouth, the stink becomes an awesome sensation that only those who dare to try can understand.

11. It is one of the most popular foods in our night markets. Most Taiwanese are attracted to its smell; however, very few foreigners dare to give it a try.

12. Stinky tofu is a deep fried gourmet made from soy beans that underwent fermentation. After it is deep fried, we season it with some black vinegar, chili, chopped garlic, and some Chinese pickled vegetables. It tastes way better than it sounds.

13. Pork Intestine Taiwanese Noodles with Oysters Another food that tastes better than its name. Undoubtedly, it is a bowl of Taiwanese Noodles that are eaten with chopped pork intestines and tinier oysters you see in America. Yes, pork intestines! But it is not as yucky as it sounds. Trust us!! It is a very traditional snack that can be found in every night market.

14. Perhaps his secret of its amazing taste is in the noodles. Taiwanese noodles are thinner than most of the noodles you see.

15. It contains potato starches that give the thin noodles a thicker taste. We often add some black vinegar and cilantro on it to bring up the taste.

16. Kantoni (Guangdong Boils) Guangdong Boils, a dish with a funny name rather than a disgusting one. This food is quite popular everywhere around Taiwan. It is kind of like a hot food snack. Various foods are placed in a big divided cooking pot for the customers to choose from.

17. It usually contains vegetable rolls, tempura, instant noodles, pig blood cake, and internal organs (pork liver, pork intestines, etc.). The pig blood mixed with rice is made into a cake, so there isn’t any blood in the soup.

18. Again, the internal organs don’t taste as bad as they sound. The braised meat stew is the source of its taste. The foods are usually served with soy sauce, separately from the soup, because people love the awesome flavor of the soup.

19. Tempura The name Tempura comes from Portuguese, It means “quick”. It is made from fish paste. It is a deep fried snack found in night markets.

20. The out layer appears golden when it is served. Soy sauce and chili are added to give it a better taste.

21. Minced Meat Rice / Braised pork rice Basically, It’s a bowl of rice covered with Taiwanese gravy. The gravy is made out of minced pork braised in soy sauce and other spices. In some places, they serve it with a boiled egg and a piece of pickled turnip.

22. Fried Yam Mashed yam or sweet potatoes mixed with flour and baking powder. Each one is kneaded into tiny marble shaped balls. It is a deep fried snack found in food stalls, and an awesome dessert after meals.

23. Snow Flake Ice It tastes as amazing as it sounds!! Snow Flake Ice is made from a huge ice cube by a special machine. It looks like layers and layers of snow, and tastes like snowflakes.

24. It is a unique version of ice cream topped with milk, peanuts, sweets, prunes, candies, and others more. It is usually stacked up to more than 3 inches on a plate.

25. So, how do you think of our special “ Night Market Culture” ? It’s a great pleasure for us to introduce more about Taiwan to you. Hope you enjoy it. And we sincerely welcome all of you to visit Taiwan. Thank you for your time..
