Hi everyone! We are here at the Feng Jia Night Market here in Taichung Taiwan so
I finally ventured out of Taipei to go to Taichung and I knew the first thing
I had to do was come to the night market this is actually the biggest night
market in Taiwan so you know that it's filled with good eats, shopping, games, all
the classic night market stuff. So I'm gonna take you guys on a full-blown food
tour of the whole night market, so let's go check it out!
So we just stopped by our first stop of the night which is the mean lung pancake
we sell these pancakes and you can choose from a variety of sauces I went
with their most famous one which is their specialty house-made sauce so the
texture of the pancake looks kind of doughy like it definitely looks like it
has a chew to it on the outside and then beautiful eggs and scallions as well as
that sauce inside this is supposed to be one of the best eats at this night
market and they always have a really long line so I hope it's worth the wait.
Let's try it!
Wow. So firstly it's very piping hot, oh my
gosh, be careful when you bite into that because it's fresh off the griddle. And
the pancake definitely does have that nice a little bit of chew texture and
since it's so thin you get a lot of layers of the pancake and then the egg
and then the sauce it's a little bit spicy savory as well as sweet so there's
a lot of flavor going on in this pancake mmm I can see why there's such a long
line for this thing it's absolutely delicious
all right so for my second thing I got this drink from city milk and they're
apparently very popular for their papaya milk the cost of this is 60 mg and I
really need it right now cuz it's so much harder in Taichung than in Taipei.
So much needed, let's try it!
hmm Wow the flavor of the papaya is so
strong and I also got less sugar as well and the sweetness level is not too sweet
just the right amount of sweetness when you come to Taiwan you need your Thai
papaya milk like I missed this stuff when I'm in the States so you gotta try
it oh this is really really refreshing
okay so we just went to our third stop of this night market future and we got
this beautiful fried chicken cutlet which is one of my absolute favorite
Taiwanese foods of all time it's literally the most juiciest crispiest
beautiful piece of chicken so we went to this place called angel fried chicken I
got the medium spicy and they really loaded that seasoning on so I'm really
excited this is like piping hot right now and it looks so whole perfectly
crispy it's literally fresh out of the fryer so yeah let's just dig in that is
incredibly juicy over on the crisp is so perfect the battering on the outside is
very very light actually from first impression I thought the battering might
be too heavy but no it's very very thin very light perfectly crispy and the
chicken in there is so moist and tender and juicy oh my god I cannot believe
this is chicken breast I've literally never had chicken breasts so juicy and
moist and that medium spice definitely adds a nice kick to it
I don't think they skimped on the spice at all I can definitely taste that heat
in my mouth Wow I might even like this better than my favorite one in Taipei
hot star fried chicken
this is literally so good I could cry I'm not even being dramatic well yeah I
probably am but I just get emotional over food okay
okay sorry lighting is kind of walking here it's really hard to film yourself
when you're hit a night market so please forgive me so the next stop we stopped
at is probably the one with the longest line at the night market that I saw so
I'm expecting this to be really good so this is the fungi sweet potato balls and
I've had three potato balls at other night markets and I really like them
they're always so crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside chewy as well so
that's what makes the sweet potato balls really really special and you can see
them making it super super fresh right in front of your eyes because they're
since they're such a long line the demand is super high so I'm really
really excited about this so I actually got just the small bag today because
it's just me and I'm already having trouble finishing everything so the
small bag is for TNT and they also have a medium and a large bag just on first
impression it looks very nice golden brown and these already look a little
different from the sweet potato balls I've tried before like the shape is a
little different I don't really know exactly how to describe it but let's
just give it a try Wow what I really like about this is that
even though it's freshly fries it's not very oily and inside a super super chewy
you can see that almost a stretchy mochi like texture and wow it's just
incredible I can't believe how non-greasy it is this is a really good
light snack
okay I'm starting to get really full but we just stopped by this golden fried
squid cart and they have a lot of flavors to choose from I decided to go
with the garlic salt and pepper because I love garlic so much and they really
loaded on that raw garlic so it looks really really crispy and fried on the
outside and the squid when I poke through it it feels really really tender
so I'm really excited we just get some garlic and get a squid and let's give it
a try you got those nice little Krispies on the outside the squid is nice and
tender it definitely has a little chew to it like a springiness and it has a
lot of flavor like it tastes very fresh I love the bounciness when I'm chewing
on the squid and then when you add that raw garlic I mean I know some of you
guys might not like raw garlic but I personally like it so it actually adds a
lot to it garlic is spicy but yeah if you don't like our leg don't worry they
have tons of flavors for you to choose from so I'm sure you'll find something
that you like there
all right so we just stopped by our last step of the night and I'm really excited
about this because I stumbled upon this place that's really well known for their
fresh taro balls and this is one of my favorite time when he's desserts because
you can have it hot or cold you can literally enjoy it and any weather
because you can have it heat it up and it will really soothe and comfort you or
you can have it with ice at the bottom so then it's very very refreshing so at
this stand this is the most popular item it comes with four different types of
things in here so you got the boba red bean taro balls and you have fresh taro
chunks as well and like I said you can get it hot or cold and you can also get
it with a drizzle of condensed milk on the top which will make it extra sweet
so this dessert literally came just in time since I've been so thirsty eating
all those fried foods and this is gonna cool me down really quick and it's such
a sweet way to end the night so let me get a bite we got some proba some red
bean let me get a sweet potato ball a little bit of the fresh taro as well all
right once again wow wow wow wow those sweet potato balls are really nice and
soft - very chewy they just have the perfect
texture and the red bean adds a bit of sweetness red bean and condensed milk
literally are a match made in heaven this is super refreshing right now I'm
gonna gobble this whole thing up there's so many textures going on in
this because the taro chunks they have like a potato consistency and then when
you get those Charo and sweet potato balls
they're so soft and chewy this is literally the perfect way to end the
night alright guys my feet are tired my tummy is full and I think that's about
all I can eat for tonight so I hope you guys enjoy this food tour of the funtime
