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.

The history of night markets by Shelly

Since our topic is all about night markets, in case you don't understand our culture, let me introduce its history to you briefly now. I searched for it on the Internet and found a better answer in Wikipedia - "Chinese night markets appeared in history as early as AD 836 when the Tang dynasty issued regulations for what were already advanced operations and, by the Song dynasty, these markets had spread throughout the realm. These markets sold an array of goods and prepared food and were often located on main thoroughfares or near red-light districts."
Today, night markets or night bazaars are the markets that do business at night. They often are tourist attractions in tropical and subtropical countries. They symbolize folk life in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, etc. So if you're in Taiwan currently and you're not Taiwanese, be sure to mark night markets tour as a must-go.
