Taiwan street food is exciting and delicious. Enjoy this Taiwanese street food day trip tour Get more Taiwanese street food in my Taipei guide: On Day 10 in Taipei, Taiwan, Ying and I decided to take a day trip to Jiufen (of Jiu Fen) and on to Keelung City and have a day of eating Taiwanese street food. Im extremely happy we had a chance to briefly visit both Jiufen and Keelung City. Ill just quickly go over where and how we went from Taipei to Jiufen and then on to Keelung City using timecodes so you can come back to a location in the video easily if you want to. 0: 38 How to Get from Taipei to Jiufen by Bus Using the directly I read off Wikipedia travel guide, we took the Taipei Metro to Zhongxiao Fuxing Station, then took exit 1 (Andong Street) and made an immediate u-turn, walked to the intersection and made a left, and then the bus stop was right there on the right hand side. We somehow arrived to the bus stop right as 1062 arrived and if Taiwan couldnt make things any more easy and efficient we boarded the bus using our easy cards. The bus ride from Taipei central there to the small town of Jiufen took just over 1 hour, and we soon arrived in the touristy, but very beautiful and pleasant town of Jiufen - which is one of the biggest little tourist towns in Taiwan. You can choose to take a day trip to Jiufen from Taipei like we did, or you can even spend the night or a few nights there. 2: 45 Taiwanese street food at Jiufen Jiufen is a small little mountain town in Taiwan about 1 hour from Taipei with a great view of the ocean and its turned into a major tourism destination. Although you can go there to do some shopping and buy some souvenirs, by far the main reason to go to Jiufen on a day trip is to eat as much Taiwanese street food and snacks as you can - and also there are plenty of sit-down restaurant you can eat at as well. Ying and I started our day of eating Taiwan street food by eating a plate of snails and a plate of grilled squid, both of which had quite a similar texture, and the flavor was delicious. After the snails and squid, I couldnt resist having a Taiwanese tea egg, one of the most popular snacks. After walking around and taking loads of photos of the picturesque scenes around Jiufen, Ying and I stopped at a real restaurant to take a little break, cool down from the hot sun, and eat some more food - this time at a real restaurant. I tried a dish called three cup chicken, which was deliciously comforting. Another very famous food to eat in Jiufen is the sweet taro balls, which was pretty good. 12: 24 How to get from Jiufen to Keelung City on Bus #788 After spending a few hours wandering around Jiufen, we took the bus from just up the road directly to Keelung City, one of the harbour towns in Taiwan, and about a 45 minute drive from Jiufen. The reason we wanted to go to Keelung City was to go to Keelung Miaokou Night Market, one of the most famous Taiwanese street food markets in Taiwan. 13: 35 Street food at Keelung Miaokou Night Market One of the most well known night markets in Taiwan is Keelung Miaokou Night Market, located right in Keelung City, and home to an abundance of delicious things to eat. I was actually still quite full from all the food we had already eaten in Jiufen, but I did manage to try a few things at the night market, and also I just really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere of the market. Ying and I luckily got a table and chairs at a small street food stall serving long finger sized dumplings, which were similar to gyoza. They were filled with minced pork and lots of green onions. Along with a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a plate of tofu, they were some of the best potsticker style dumplings I had on my entire trip to Taiwan. I also tried crab soup, and a famous street food called a Nutritious Sandwich. Day 10 in Taiwan, and eating all sorts of Taiwanese street food snacks in both Jiufen and Keelung City was an excellent day trip

Looks like dog food the lady in the market grabbed a piece of fish with her hand then probably takes money with the same hand dirty money n not hygienic place the food looks disgusting in both places that you ate I don't know why you make such a big deal out of nonsense food most of the Asian food is nonsense except maybe Indonesian. and Japanese is clean and healthy but I wouldn't say it's fine cuisine but it's OK but the rest of the south East Asian food with the exception of the dishes that are prepared with herbs is disgusting it's a complete disaster no technique at all whatsoever involved you get so excited over dog food why don't you travel to some fine European or Middle Eastern or slavic or American restaurants where you have high level chefs even if it's just a simple family restaurant they still know what they're doing. And all of the dangerous stuff that they put in the food all of the MSG and all of the other dangerous ingredients with all the preservatives that they use in these countries that you go to when you're 40 years old your blood pressure and other things may have complications I wouldn't feed this food to my dog.

yummy, those dumplings look so good I bet i could eat them every single day and never get sick of them. and i really doubt if anyone would go to McDonalds when they have such a great selection of homemade food. We eat McDonalds here a lot but we don't have the good food selection like shown on this video. We have a guy from the health department goes in places and pretty much has everyone cooking frozen food in the restaurants.

It just pisses me off that you don't let your wife have the first bite and then you can do your little Spiel afterwards she's doing all the work by filming you all you do is freaking eat let's take care of the womenfolk first I'm a Pitmaster and we serve our women first at the restaurant not set down and eat first and let the women just sit and watch

Those finger dumplings looked delicious. I love your job Who wouldnt like to tour and eat lots of delicious food. Thai food looks so fabulous, in California the Thai food is good, but my dream is to eat it in Thailand. Your wife is so sweet and smart, she leads the way for you. I watch her with your son, and shes such a good Mom. You are blessed.

Hi MarkI have just seen the video. What impressed me more is your glowing and a bit naughty eyes, a very cute smile on your face and simple way of explaining your experience. I have kept your YouTube page on my favourite list. Really yummy experience of watching the video.

Wish you had gone to a traditional tea market. Not that that Boba silliness but a traditional tea shop where old men will sell you various grades of the best oolong in the world. No worry if you know nothing of teas. they will explain and show you

Something in me really wants to visit I have had great experiences meeting people from Taiwan. There is a kindness that I have sensed and some very strong values. Thanks for showing us the Night Market in this series; I have heard great things.

LOL Based on the video Jiufen was practically empty (by Jiufen standards. You really lucked out - the #1062 bus runs every 10 mins on the weekend and the line at the station is usually 100+ long (again, on weekends.
