Everyday Food I Love

Located two stations away from Jiaoxi Train Station, Luodong Night Market 羅東夜市 is one of Taiwan’s biggest and most crowded night market. During our visit, it was a rainy day but it didn't stopped the crowds from visiting.

Pasar Malam, literally translated as Night Market, is a street market that usually opens in the evening once a week in residential neighbourhood. It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as fruits, vegetables, snacks, toys, clothes, shoes, alarm clocks, and ornaments at cheap or at least reasonable prices.

There is nowhere better to immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Vietnamese street food than Ho Chi Minh. The fresh light flavors of the local food are a perfect compliment to their warm climate. There are also plenty of restaurants serving up regional specialties from the the centre and the north.

When you are in Ho Chi Minh City, try to stay nearby Cho Ben Thanh, this is a central area for tourist attractions. You can conveniently walk to the presidential palace, cathedral and etc. Ben Thanh Market is the largest indoor marketplace in the city, the most famous as well centrally located in the city of Saigon and is the liveliest areas. No visit to Ho Chi Minh would be complete without experiencing the chaos and madness of the Ben Thanh Market. You can find out more about Saigonese daily life here, their food, clothes and daily used items: vegetables, meats, spices, sweets, tobacco, clothing, hardware and etc. Also quite a selection of souvenir items but you will need to bargain efficiently here, as prices are usually higher than elsewhere.

Night markets have contributed to making Ho Chi Minh City charms and the main attraction for visitors. The night market is the best place to sample Vienamese traditional cuisines that are not available in restaurant. Eating and drinking on the street is very popular in Vietnam and their night markets offer a great window into the life of the city. If there is a chance I highly recommended you to join the crowds eating on the street for an experienced that can't be matched by a hotel restaurant.

Taman OUG Night market on every Thursday is my favourite place for hawker's food as well as window shopping. Especially when festive season is around, the market will be filled with festive atmosphere. Eager shoppers, hungry eaters and curious bystanders are among all the visitors of the night market.

OUG Pasar Malam, every thurday night. A heaven for shoppers, hell for motorists. Parking is a privilege for drivers. You are better off walking from your house to this crowded night market filled with food, clothing, household essential and DVD stalls. My fondest memories of this place are the char koey teow, asam laksa, Stadium popiah and also the cheap VCDs, DVDs and computer softwares. Mee rebus and Ice Island (Taiwanese Ice shaved dessert) sold by mobile hawker in OUG Night Market (every Thursday), something you must try! Mee Rebus is a noodle dish popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The dish is made of yellow egg noodles, with a spicy slightly sweet curry-like gravy. Ice Island, there are many flavours to choose from but their most appealing dessert are their mango ice shaved dessert, it was well value for money and a very refreshing dessert!

Malaysians are well known for their night markets which sells lots of local varieties; from fruits and vegetables to clothes, household item, handicrafts  and pet peripherals. But one thing we love the most is the variety of food offers in the market.

Tonight after having our Char Kuey Teow right across was this stall, it was quite when I walk over cause most of them either already have their order done. I manage to try it, this is so much cheaper then the one I ate in KK and tasted even better. The making of my Strawberry Snow Ice with Pearl Jelly Taadaa! Ready to eat...yummy Strawberry Snow Ice with Pearl Jelly (S), RM4.90 Smooth shave ice, better than Ice Cream, kind of like Gelato but less sweet, I like the cute cute texture of Pearl Jelly and fresh strawberry. Mum said it's nice! Ar...

Char Kuey Teow Stall and Fried Carrot Cake Stall at Taman OUG Pasar Malam/ Night Market (Every Thursday) This is my all time favourite cheat day, hawker food place! Have you decided what to order yet? Fried Carrot Cake also available here Since last 3 weeks, I've been droping by wanted to try this Char Kuey Teow, finally tonight I got to try it cause previously raining season I guess they're closing early or didn't open for business.

Nicely fried noodle with fresh prawn, chinese sausage, crockles and duck egg, simple and little oily but good stuff! 2 plates of Char Kuey Teow with Duck Egg (S), RM9.00
