Tour a peu gastronòmic del mercat nocturn de Shilin a Taipei

We had a fantastic time with Chiu at the markets. She had wonderful recommendations and even got us access to smaller portions so we could try everything. Aside from the food, we were also given a rundown of the temple and recommendations for the rest of our trip in Taiwan. Would definitely recommend Chiu for anyone’s first time in Taiwan!

ツアーガイドは日本語堪能な荘徳銘さん。早稲田大学を卒業してJALに入社、成田に10年、その後台湾に戻って定年まで勤め上げたそうです。昔から士林の近くに住んでいて、現在はライフワークとしてツアーガイドをしているそうです。士林夜市の案内はもちろんですが、台湾と日本に関係する歴史の話しまで、深〜く教えて頂き大満足でした。生憎の雨模様でしたが、 名物の大鶏排(大判フライドチキン)や最近流行りのエリンギ焼き、薬草茶をはさんで最後は荘さんイチオシの焼小籠包まで、食べ歩きも満点でした。士林夜市をより深く楽しみたい日本の方は是非荘さんを指名して下さい。

We had Joseph as our guide for the market tour and he was really good. Very attentive and helpful and we were lucky enough to have him all to ourselves so it was like a private tour. He shows you all parts of the market, not just the food necessarily. Joseph answered all our questions and we got to learn more about what the locals eat - both young and old which was very interesting. We are happy that we did this on our first night (& a week night so it wasn't too busy) so that we can use our new-found knowledge for the rest of our trip.

I was toured by Joseph, and all I can say is he's the best - knowledge on food, histrory of the place, and well-spoken. I really enjoyed my food trip here at Shilin Night Market.

As a fussy eater I finished full and satisfied We don’t eat sea food or offal, so it was daunting hunting for street food by ourselves. Our guide Vicky was fabulous. At the meeting point she gave us a bag of sweet potato balls, a great starter to begin our tour. Vicky gave a brief history of the market area at the beginning and planned an itinerary based on our dietary requirements. As we walked, she added stories and facts about the food and people. We toured a temple and learnt more about Chinese customs. We ate many Taiwanese specialties and even when we were full Vicki pointed out stalls we may like to try on another day. All her recommendations were good, and the food was extremely affordable. We highly recommend Vicky and this tour.

Vicky was an excellent guide who showed us a variety of food options. the tour went overtime but she was not rushed to leave. her command of English was excellent. personal favourite was the fried pork bun.

Went to Shilin DIY in 2019. Returned this year and took this tour. It's very helpful when you're trying to decide which of Taiwan's famous food you want to try but without the benefit of a local's knowledge. Tried their Fried Milk, Oyster Omelette, Stinky Tofu, Fried Chicken and a Sesame Riceball. Expenses are for your own account except for the free milk tea. Tour guide Jeannie was fun and friendly.

Rebecca was a great guide and showed me around the market so I can choose what I wanted to try. She also took me to a temple and I really liked the area, it feels more local and the food was very delicious. Thank you Rebecca 😊

Jeannie our guide is very good! The tour was worth it! If you want to maximize your Shilin experience, i recommend this tour.
