DÜNYA ŞEHİRLERİNDE SOKAK LEZZETLERİ

Taipei, Taiwan

The scene: When it comes to variety, nothing beats a Taiwanese night market. Shilin, Raohe, Tonghua, and Ningxia are all popular choices; stall after lit-up stall tempts the seething crowds with grilled squid on a stick, barbecued snake beans, and deep-fried taro balls. Stinky tofu is a staple; you’ll always smell it before you see it. For the less adventurous, there’s fried chicken and delightful black pepper pork buns.

The dish: Stinky tofu, the love-it-or-hate-it dish made with cubes of fetid, fermented tofu, pickled cabbage, and chili sauce.
