Dadong Night Market

Night market is characteristic of Taiwan. So this week, I want to introduce night markets in Tainan. Night markets in Tainan are very different from those in Taipei. I think the most different part is that night markets in Tainan is not open every day.

In Tainan, three night markets are the most famous and popular, which are Dadong(大東), Huayuan(花園) and Wusheng(武聖). And I want to introduce Dadong which I am really familiar with.

Dadong Night Market is just open on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I think food is the most important part of the night market, so I talk about the food first.

First, I want to recommend spring onion pancake(蔥油餅??). If I am correct, there’s only one vendor selling spring onion pancake. Every time, I have to stand in a line and wait a couple of time.

Then, I want to introduce a vendor that sells Dorayaki(銅鑼燒). The owner is really cool. She makes the Dorayaki with her practiced skill, which makes me feel amazed every time.

Another part of the night market is about selling clothes, shoes and some accessories. It’s just like other night market, so I don’t want to put too much emphasis on it.

The last part of the night market is entertainment. I play pinball almost every time I go to the night market. Also, ring toss game(套圈圈) and balloon shooting are very funny. But today, I want to introduce auction. There are two people host auction at Dadong night market. It is said that they are brothers. Well, the brothers are really specialized in auction. They use interesting way to introduce their products. If you offer a price, they will give you a small toy as a gift. Though I never want to buy anything, I always stand there and have some fun.
