1. 胡椒餅 Black Pepper Bun
You can conveniently find it at the main entrance of Raohe Night Market which you will be able to see a long queue waiting for their black pepper bun that costs 30NT for each. If not, you can locate it somewhere at C.K.S culture station just like me.
The ingredients include pork with spring onions, black pepper and other spices. When you bite it, you will be able to enjoy the crispy bread shell with the tender black pepper taste pork inside. Not forgetting, sesame to be sprinkled on to top of the bun before sticking the buns to the sides of the hot canisters which you can see the picture below.
Don't forget to try it when you are there.
2. 大餅包小餅
Located at Shilin Night Market
1 for 35NT, 3 for 100NT or buy 6 get 1 free.
As I did a little research on this food, it is basically means a bigger bun (大餅) wrapped with smaller bun (小餅). From the pictures below, you can get to choose different flavours to be wrapped inside. When you decided your flavours, the girl will take one of the crispy small bun hit it real hard to be wrapped with the popiah skin and sprinkled the flavours that you have chosen.
Although it may be an innovative idea but still this is not to my liking. Feel free to try it as you will not get to try it in Singapore.
3. Chicken wing rice roll (雞翅包飯)
The chicken wing rice roll is awesome and we bought it at Tamsui 淡水. The boneless chicken wing stuffed with delicious and fragrant friend rice and marinated with their own sauce is a must to try when you are in Taiwan.

Salted Egg with pork floss taro Ball - 20NT each
Fried Taro Ball - 15NT
Located at Ning Xia Night Market, you can get to see this interesting taro ball that is usually line up with many people. To me, the yam is not that sweet and its crispy outer. However, I don't really find it yummy to be eaten again.
7. Wrapped Peanut Brittle Crumbs & Ice Cream
This is my first time eating icecream with the popiah skin which I never see it in Singapore. When you ordered a portion, the person will shave the peanut candy and placed it on the popiah skin and two scoops of ice cream are served. the coriander is also added to give the extra aroma.
When done, you will then enjoy this wrap that is placed in a plastic bag with the price of 40 NT can be found in Xinmending.
