The area is also forever bustling with visitors, both locals and tourists alike!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike some of the other night markets, the historic Shilin Cixian temple is located right at the heart of this one. This makes it one of the best night markets in Taipei to visit after seeking some blessings from the deities. As the night market has various wings and sections, I recommend allocating a few hours to explore the area, as there\u2019s a lot to do and see here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Must-try food and drinks:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Good Friend Cold Noodle (NT35, ~SGD1.55)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Michelin-approved cold sesame sauce noodles, with a hint of lemon juice for a fresh and tangy twist.

That said, the market retains its neighbourhood charm and upholds reasonable prices. So, it\u2019s a convenient yet attractive choice if you\u2019re looking for the best night markets in Taipei that aren\u2019t too far from the typical tourist attractions but still retain their authenticity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Must-try food and drinks:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Guabao from Shi Jia Bao Bao (NT50, ~SGD2.20):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Taiwanese burgers with a generous slice of fatty pork belly, topped with pickled vegetables and peanut grounds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Yu Pin Yuan Iced and Hot Tangyuan (NT80, ~SGD3.50):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Michelin-approved dessert with hot gooey tangyuan atop sweetened shaved ice.

Lane 108 has a relatively large variety of vegetarian-friendly options, whereas Lane 78 is where you\u2019ll find the meat dishes. Hence, Gongguan Night Market is undoubtedly one of the best night markets in Taipei if you\u2019re visiting with a large group, as there\u2019s something for everyone to feast on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Must-eat food and drinks:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Liu Ji\u2019s Classic Green Onion Pancakes and Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes (NT35, ~SGD1.55):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This store has a long name, but it\u2019s not nearly as long as its queues.

Here, you\u2019ll see many more locals than tourists. After all, this nostalgic night market was set up as an easy way for blue-collar workers to purchase quick and affordable meals during their commute to and from the districts of Dadaocheng and Dalongdong. So, the spread here includes popular local delights such as gua bao and mochi. Many of the stalls have also been here for more than 30 years, so the food here is as authentic as it gets. That said, there are no elaborate decorations like those of popular night markets, so I\u2019d suggest lowering your expectations to avoid disappointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Must-eat food and drinks:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Goose Soup (NT40, ~SGD1.75):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An interesting option that many visitors rave about. While it\u2019s not my cup of tea, many claim that the goose tastes like a rich and fattier version of duck or beef. The essence of the goose is infused in the soup, creating a masterful blend of various flavours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shi Jia Meat Soup Dumpling:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re a fan of typical soup dumplings, this one has more of an interesting mouthfeel.

This store was also awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand a few years back.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cabbage Rice and Pork Rib Soup:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A Michelin-recommended meal that\u2019s comforting and light on the stomach.
