The Taiwanese night market is a combination of pre-1938 China, Taiwanese native, Japanese, and American fast-food culture. And now we have the addition of south-east Asian food culture. It's unique because it's a mixture of different cultures, accepting them all simply because they are tasty food that sells. The fact that night market stalls could easily have an annual profit 40k USD, which would be three times more in real money value (amount of money/how much things you could buy with that money. The potential profit and the 1st year overturn rate of 60% for the past 30 years has turned the night market into a heaven for foodlovers

I love the editing! I imagine it must have been very difficult to film in such a crowded spot but you did a great job of showcasing all the sights and sounds (now I just wish there was a way to digitally transfer taste, haha. Also, kudos to you for having such an openminded approach to stinky tofu, which is definitely an acquired taste that even some local people can't stomach LOL. Keep up the great work Iz! Can't wait for the next video. P. s. love how you're keeping Johnny humble, Iz's husband

in fact, the name of pepper bun had nothing to do with pepper. this snake became popular during the 80' in Taiwan, origin from the scallion meat bun from Fuzhou(China) in Fujian. and most of the TAIWANESE were immigrants from Fujian during Qian Dynasty, when people start selling it in TAIWAN, it was actually called Fuzhou bun, but Fuzhou is a homophone to pepper in Mandarin, and over the time that's where this name get started. --- Just a local sharing some fun fact, WELCOME to TAIWAN.

Shilin Night Market is still the best value. Raohe is a bit out of the way, not as easily accessible on the MRT as Shilin Night Market. Shilin is HUGE! Several block-radius spread out beyond just the basement eateries. You'll need several hours for Shilin. Raohe you can knock it out in two hours. For Shilin, it's better to go around 5 pm when they are just opening. Give yourself 4 to 6 hours at Shilin for shopping and eating. Wide range of food and shopping, still Taipeis best bet!

Iz, I l really appreciate your open-mindedness and maturity when trying the stinky tofu, and the fact that you were willing to try it, even though it was a struggle. that is definitely not an easy food for the uninitiated to try, and you were honest but classy about your thoughts on it. Kudos to you for not spitting it out!

sadly, that particular pork pepper bun is more for tourists, ask any true local and they would just mehBut at the same time, I do get that most tourists don't have that much time to search the best, and a night market is a well-balanced option considering the time and convenience.
