Raohe Night Market is one of the traditional night markets in Taipei and is a must visit to get an authentic taste of taiwanese food. There are plenty of stalls in the night market to choose from and try out. The entrance arch of the night market also very instaworthy so remember to take a few shots there. Alright, speaking about food experience in Raohe, there’s one thing which is a die die must-try is the PEPPER BUNS ! Their pepper buns really is piping hot juice oozing out from the bite; WARNING: is really piping hot so be aware. Other food to try is smelly tofu and fried milk curds. #raohenightmarket #youtohbindou #taipei

Popular Market selling Taiwanese Streetfood

#taipei Lots of food! It's mostly a 2 lane street walk. So you can walk down one lane with stalls flanking both sides and do a loop back to visit stores in the parallel lane. Set aside about 2 hrs to complete the route (including eating time). There are some clothing and toy stores as well. But the main draw is clearly the food. When in doubt on what to eat, just join the queue :) Didn't see any toilets around so you may want to go before you go. Tip: Come around 6pm as Stalls only start to set up at around 5:30pm.

Raohe Night Market

#taipei Raohe night market has many many good stalls! There are food stall on the both side of the walkway, you can walk down one lane with stalls flanking both sides and do a loop back to visit stores in the parallel lane. There are some clothing and toy stores as well. But the main thing here is clearly the food. Most of the good food will have a long queue despite is drizzling. This 2 food are my personal favourite! Rice Dumping on ice and Pepper meat bun! One thing to take note that there are no toilet available in the night market so the nearest one will be at the metro station!

Raohe Night Market 饒河街觀光夜市

#taipei #tripblazers Address - Raohe St, Songshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan 105 105台北市松山區饒河街 Highlights - Raohe Night Market is one of famous and most visited night markets in Taipei. You could walk here from Songshan Metro Station in less than 5 minutes. Try the famous Fuzhou Ancestor Pepper Pie 福州世祖胡椒餅 located right at the entrance gate. It is fragrant when eaten piping hot. However, I observed that the filling has reduced from my previous visit 5 years ago. The fried chicken cutlet stall also has a long queue, and there were many different flavours to choose from. We paired it with bubble milk tea at the alley right next to it, and it was super sinful but shiok!

Amazing Taipei Trip

I did a weekend trip in Taipei as my place of residence (Hong Kong) eased inbound travellers’ quarantine requirements. Not having travelled Taiwan for 3 years due to the Covid-19 pandemic felt surreal as it has always been my favourite destination for a short/weekend-trip. Unfortunately, the weather was bad throughout the trip – it was constantly raining. However, fortunately at night, the heavy rain stopped, and I could go out to the famous night markets such as Ningxia and Raohe. My favourite night market was Ningxia. Although it remained the same as three years ago, I could still see some changes – more varieties in food, especially Korean snacks. I felt like I was in my heritage home! After eating loads of food at the night market, I went straight to bed and woke up early the day after. I went out to see the Taipei 101 – the city’s one of the most famous landmarks. Unfortunately, the foggy weather did not allow me to oversee the entire building but at least, it was not crowded. Then I decided to go back to my hotel and pack up and left for Hong Kong. Although I could not do much outdoor activities due to the adverse weather conditions, I still enjoyed the trip. I cannot wait to go back again.

Raohe Night Market, Taipei

Address - Fuyuan St, Songshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Getting There - 10 minutes from Houshanpi MRT Station (exit 4) 5 minutes from Songshan Train Station Ambiance/Facilities - Night market with tons of food, shopping and games Rating - 5/5 Raohe Night Market is one of the most popular night market in Taipei City, it is also my favourite night market! It is located near the most famous clothes wholesale Center Wufenpu, so we often shop at Wufenpu in the afternoon and adjourn to Raohe in the evening for more shopping and food. You can find lots of food here, namely the very famous Wu Jiao Bing, which is a Chinese bake with meat fillings. There are a lot of stalls selling all kinds of street food such as Taiwan sausage, Ai Yu drink, Stinky Tofu, Ice shavings etc #tripblazers #taipei #taiwan #raohenightmarket #nightmarket

Rao He Seafood Night Market

Rao He night market is one of my favourite night markets. I will usually go there after visiting the city hall and Taipei 101. I will also visit the wufengpu garment wholesale centre which is a 20 minute walk from the Rao He night market. My suggestion is to reach there by 7pm so that most of the stalls would be ready for operations. Similar to other Taiwan night markets, the focus is on the foods. One of the long queue food stalls is the black pepper bun which costs 50b. The bin is freshly made and the meat is juicy and tender. There are also grilled beef steaks and grilled squid to suit your taste buds. There are also many restaurants and desert stalls there. My favourite would be the peanut rainbow ice shadings topped with vanilla ice cream. The serving portion is huge and very satisfying. You can take a train here or a taxi for less than 300twd from the ximending area. The Rao he market closes late at night. #bucketlistreboot

BEST night market in taipei

Always revisit raohe night market whenever i’m in taipei. Literally the best night market with tons of food, tons of GOOD food, stalls for shopping, and activities! my favourite from this night market has got to be the smelly tofu (the only one i enjoy eating in taipei so far) because it’s delicious with the pickled cabbage & the chilli (rly spicy). Beef cubes are a must have & i basically tried everything that’s new to me whenever i visit a night market in taiwan. The bubble tea was soooo cheap compared to singapore prices & i couldn’t resist but got a 1 litre cup (50 TWD = ~2+ SGD). Estimate around 2-3 hours here for a good time! #taipei #taiwan

Food tripping at Raohe St Night Market

One of the more popular night market in Taipei is the Raohe Street night market. It only opens after 5pm daily and is located at Raohe St, Songshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan 105. Some people considered it as the best single night market for all your night food needs. One of the must eat here is the black pepper bun. The stall is just located inside the entrance of the night market's East entrance. These are freshly made on the spot and the queue for it is always so long! Another must eat is the deep fried spiral potato stick. I will always get this when I chance upon it. If you are heading there in the cold weather, I will also recommend you to try the herbal ribs soup. The soup is rich with the herbs and I love the sweetness of those herb in the soup. Hot soup in cold weather! So shioks! #createwithtrip

Taipei's earliest sightseeing night market

📝Taiwan Travelogue part8: Raohe Street Sightseeing Night Market📝 🖼🖼🖼🖼 Raohe Sightseeing Night Market is the earliest sightseeing night market in Taipei, with its own glittering archway. The entire length is about 600 meters, but the stalls are very dense, basically forming two paths on the left and right within 600 meters, so the actual effect should be about 1200 meters. The recommended delicacies by Taipei's official tourism website are oyster vermicelli, medicinal braised ribs, braised dishes, beef offal noodles, frozen desserts, and traditional tofu pudding. Personally, I think it's all about serendipity, just go with whatever you see. 🍧🍧🍧🍧 On this street, I bought grilled squid, saw cute handmade pastries and bought some, couldn't resist the cool flames and got some dice beef, had a handmade popsicle, and then a bowl of taro ball dessert. Saw braised duck blood and tofu and had a bowl, and finally when the craving for instant noodles hit, I also had a bowl of instant noodle wontons. 📷📷📷📷 Here, it's basically possible to find a seat to eat, there are some shops on both sides, and many stalls also have seating available, unlike Ningxia Night Market where you can basically only stand and eat. Like other night markets in Taiwan, in addition to snack stalls, there are many other small shops here, selling souvenirs, small bags. There are fortune tellers with moles, and those traditional old-school game stalls. I noticed that these small shops all have a little clip to hold the plastic wrapper for disposable chopsticks and straws, which feels like a thoughtful little design. Visited on February 7, 2019

Raohe Night Market! Has to be on the list of Taiwan travel musts!!

Any night market at Taiwan is a must at least once during your trip. It’s such an experience and today we are trying Raohe. There was a long line at the entrance for black pepper buns. But we wanted crispy squid 🦑 so we started there’s and then tapioca balls and the soufflé milk tea with pearls Japanese pancake was amazing. Could had one all to myself. We got dumplings and takoyaki and the list goes on. So many choices and only one stomach… it’s okay if you didn’t eat your way all the way to end of the night market just as long as you did try some yummy snacks. They also have lots of game stalls and shops if you need to take a break from foods. We brought more people so we could eat more foods!!!

One of our favourite dessert that we have tried at the night market was the Osmanthus Rice Ball! It is a must-try! However, the number of food stalls at raohe night market now became a lot lesser compared to pre-covid. A few of the food that we were back looking for were long gone and couldn’t find it back anymore! Nevertheless, still worth a visit here as there are still good food stalls here to spend your night and dinner here!

New favourite snack at my favourite night market!

Raohe Night Market is my personal favourite night market in Taipei. Relatively small but packed with delicious snacks! A must have for me is the taiwanese sausage. I have been wanting to try the pepper bun but the queue is always snaking long. Finally decided to join the queue this time to find out what's the hype over it, and I'm totally sold after the first bite! Rich flavour, so addictive that I was contemplating to join the queue again for more! Highly recommended to try!

Famous Pepper Buns at Raohe Night Market

Address: No. 253, Raohe St, Songshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan The store is located right near the entrance of the Raohe Night Market in Taipei. Even on a rainy evening (around 5.30pm), there's still over 10 queuing up for the famous Fuzhou Pepper Buns. The queue moves quite fast, so I got my hot steaming bun in no time. Quite nice when eating hot in the cold weather. All the pepper buns are baked inside the 2 cylinder brick ovens on the spot in the Raohe Night Market and the staff checked regularly and took out those which are ready. The staff are also constantly making fresh new pepper buns on the spot.
