Taipei: Food at Shillin Night Market

Taipei's most renown market is the Shillin Night market, but to go there, don't get off at the Shillin subway station, use Jiantian, one stop to the south.

No Seoulite will be especially impressed with Shillin, or at least no Seoulite who has been to Namdaemun or the Dongdaemun food market. Understandable as Seoul's population is three times larger

Below are some red bean cakes being assembled; the filling in these is not as tasty as what we get in Seoul, but I liked the cake part better.

Here are a couple odd choices, first some roasted cane, and below that, Wow! Frogs eggs! Okay, they aren't really frog's eggs, but some kind of green fruit beverage--frankly, I think they're oranges that haven't turned orange.

Idea: take the recipe for the Seoul bean cake filling; then take the recipe for the cake part from Taiwan. BOOM! You're a millionaire.
