All you can eat with 65 dollars!

The bread was a bit over-microwaved.

(We had almost finished our meal when it suddenly ocurred to me that I could use this steak house as a topic for this blog.)

WHAT? Only 65 dollars? Well, if you order the Spaghetti on Hot Plate, it's possible.

And as you can see from the pictures above, the main course is steak. This steak house is located near a night market called 自強 night market in Kaohsiung County, which I've mentioned before.(You can read the previous article for more information.) Usually, a steak in night market will include black tea as well as soup and they will cost you about 70~90 dollars. However, this shop is not only a steak house in night market and it even offers salad and bread, which really make an gorgeous combination with the steak. On top of that, the price of the food is almost the same as the ones you see in night markets. You may think that this is not possible, so I asked my sister to take pictures as evidence.

As for details of the steak, I strongly recommend you to have the "thick steak." It's not only thicker but it is also much tenderer. The only bad thing is that you can feel stuffed to the throat after having the meal. Nevertheless, trust me, the food will haunt in your mind until you visit it next time.

Something going beyond your expectation-Oyster mermicellin by Shelly

Hi! It's been a long time since I posted the last article.
Today, I am going to talk about a night market that is located behind the Han-Shin department store. It's called Tsu-chiang / 自強 night market, while some call it 苓雅 night market.And actually, there are two Tsu-chiang night markets in Kaohsiung, with one in Kaohsiung City and one in Kaohsiung County. However, my focus now is the one in Kaohsiung City. Its biggest feature is that almost all the vendors there sell foods and it opens everyday, so you can go there whenever you feel hungry during midnight. I'm going to talk about oyster mermicelli.
Why do I choose it as my topic? Well, I think this kind of food only exsists in Taiwan even though youngster in Taiwan seldom eat it these days. Besides, I was sick during the winter vacation, the doctor told me I could only have toast and mermicelli. When you have only these two choices, you will think mermicelli is the most appetiting food on earth.
Sorry, I should come back to my topic. The shop that sells mermicelli is located in an alley near the night market. It was in fact curiosity that brought me into the shop. I didn't expect it to be too delicious, but it was really beyond my imagination. The oysters were tender and the pig's large intestine was tender, too. If you're fond of eating soft/tender foods, you should give it a try.


The food is especially suitable for elder people since all the components in it are all smooth. Besides, other than oyster mermicelli, the vendor also offers small steam buns, sweet & sour soup and boiled vegetable. So you can try them with friends!

So, it's time for Q and A
Q: How much is it?
A: Small:40 Large:55 (I suggest you buy the small one unless you're really hungry.)

Q:Where is it?
A:

No.104, Lingya 2nd Rd., Lingya District, Kaohsiung City 802, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

Sliced sweet potato by Shelly

Ha~long time no see! How have you been lately? Have you got the chance to eat something delicious recently? Now I'm going to introduce to you a special thing called "sliced sweet potato"in Chin Nian night market.

The English name of the snack is translated from its original Chinese name. As you may imagine, no matter you're a Chinese native speaker or a foreigner, you would think that the shape of the food must be a strip. That's what I thought,too. However, after I opened the box, I found out they were like cubes. Well, not all of them are, like, exactly cubes, but most of them were similar to cubes.

Okay, so now you get a general picture of what I am talking about. Let's talk about its content and its cooking process. This snack mainly contains sweet potato and sugar. The sweet potato is first cut into cubes and deep fried. Then they put them in melt sugar so that it will have a sugar coat. Then, it's finished! It's an easy snack which you can cook by yourself at home.

The taste of the food is really great! DON'T THINK THAT THEY ARE JUST SWEET POTATO!

They are really really soft on the inside and crispy on the outside!

Well, eating is believing. Go eat for yourself. Have a good time!

Where to get a bite?

Chin-nian night market (next to National Fengshan Vocational High School)

When to go?
Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Any other suggestions?

Well, there are many vendors selling Indian milk tea in night markets but there is a particularly popular stand in the middle part of Chin-nian night market. We gave it a try and the Indian milk tea was unforgettably delicious. You should be able to locate it because there will be people lining up in front of you. Get in the line as soon as you see it. It will serve as a wonderful combination with the sliced sweet potato.
