Trying $0.50 Street Food at Taipei Night Market | Taiwan 🇹🇼

I arrived in Taipei with an appetite for adventure – and also a quite literal one, given that I hadn’t eaten all day owing to the surprisingly high food prices at even my beloved 7-Eleven’s.

Fortunately for me, Taiwan is known for having some of the best street food in Asia, and perhaps the world, with some of the local vendors apparently even holding the much revered michelin star.

This sounded almost too good to be true, especially at the more modest prices that I was likely to find outside of the city centre’s commercial district.

Eager to find out for myself, I headed in search of pork balls (taro) at Shilin Night Market. Having interacted with the locals and tried some amazing steamed buns (pao) and Hong Kong brown sugar bubble tea, I extended my search to Ningxia Night Market as the much fabled taro balls had alluded me.

After a longer-than-anticipated stalk of the nigjht market, my prayers were answered – but lets just say that what I ate wasn’t quite what I expected…

P.S. Given my former professional background as an investment manager, personal finance is something that I strongly believe in.

I’ll be working on a side project in the coming months to help educate people around how investments work, sharing some of the tips and tricks that I used in the City before I embarked on my adventures.

In the meantime, you can see which stocks I’m invested in, and how well (or badly) I’m doing, via the link below:

Although I’ve been a client of eToro for a number of years, and would remain so regardless of any affiliate terms, I do have an agreement with them which pays me a fee if you happen to open an account via the link (it costs you nothing extra and is very welcome towards my travels for a something that I’m using anyway).

Whether or not you have any interest in this stuff is up to you – and I wont ever promote it directly in my content. But if you do want to learn more, then you can see what I’m doing in real-time there, and it might perhaps inspire you to take control of your financial future.

(As its the serious world of finance, I’m also required to share this riveting disclaimer: eToro is a multi-asset investment platform. The value of your investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk. Other fees apply.)
