Because of gentrification and noise complaints, many of Taipei's
night markets aren't as robust as they were decades ago. Ningxia
Night Market is a distinguished exception, ... many of the food

nBubble tea: No
trip to Taiwan would be complete without at least one bubble tea.
the classic recipe calls for rich, silky, shaken green or black tea with
sizable black tapioca balls, which require a special straw to drink. nSalt & pepper fried chicken: Coated in sweet potato flour then double-fried to add crunch and lock in moisture... nStinky tofu: Essentially, vendors soak bean curd in brine, then let it ferment for hours, days, weeks or months at a time. |

sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-hawker-culture-gets-nod-included-unesco-intangible-cultural-heritage-list-140941296.html
12-16-2020:
Singapore’s hawker culture was officially approved on Wednesday (16 December) to
be inscribed into UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The biggest thanks must go to the generations of hawkers for nourishing a
nation’s stomach and spirits. Taiwanese like its night market
culture, but was not selected.

Bloomberg,
2021-4-16:
Total arrivals last year crashed 88%...
life isn’t quite normal. For example, at the Ningxia Night
Market in Taipei, masks and plastic screens are among the
precautions used to prevent the virus from spreading.
With a lack of foreign tourists, Shilin’s market has been
shifting its focus to the 100,000-plus students who study nearby.

Fish fraud findings: Almost 20% of fish in Taiwan found to be mislabelled -

https://www.foodnavigator-asia.com/Article/2021/02/09/Fish-fraud-findings-Almost-20-of-fish-in-Taiwan-found-to-be-mislabelled-study Nature, 12-15-2020:
The rates and consequences of seafood substitution frauds in Taiwan were
elusive. Snapper, cod and surimi products are particularly vulnerable
to fraudulent substitutions. The high abundance of Pseudomonas in
tilapia sashimi mislabeled as snapper unveils a potential health issue
pertaining to the consumption of raw mislabeled seafood. modern
seafood products often appear in the form of fish pieces, filets or even
ready-to-eat meals instead of whole fishes. The food processing technologies can
also change the original color and luster of the meat.

● Michelin Guide Taipei announced at 4-10-2019 starred restaurants of Taipei Taiwan. Unlike other Asian street food stalls earning some Michelin stars (e.g., Singapore's Liao Fan soya sauce chicken rice & noodle, Hong Kong's Mammy Pancake and Thailand Bangkok's Jay Fai's wok-fired dishes), there's no any Taiwanese local specialty (night market cheap eats, street food) won any starred title. Furthermore, even Michelin 3 star winner Le Palais Hotel was found snacks containing Hydrogen peroxide (過氧化氫) and Benzoic acid (苯甲酸), many tourism hotels / 5 star hotels were found food hygiene not up to standard, e.g., 5 star hotels used expired no-good ingredients, such as HsinChu and Taipei's Ambassador Hotel, The Grand Hotel, Regent Formosa, and so on, reported by CTV evening news, BCC , LTN (12-19-2019) https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3014179 , therefore it's within reason for us to suspect food-safety of night market's cheap eats. WEF <Travel and tourism competitiveness report> of 2019 shows Taiwan had the sub-region's largest decline in competitiveness, Taiwan ranks 10th in Asia, Taiwan's prioritization of travel & tourism ranks world No.75. travel & tourism of Taiwan !!

SETV news, 3-23-2018: About half number of stalls
in Liu-Ho night market, once Taiwan's No.1 popular "charming" night market aged
60, was closed, for lacking of Chinese tourists, being a greedy market ripping
tourists off (the other two are Shi-Lin and Keng-Tin night market), and
being

commentary<掉漆的文創> :"Something we should pay attention to

The
China Times (8-8-2015) : Taiwan failed to establish a
high-quality image of tourism & travel, but just impressed tourists
a place filled with cheap goods, e.g., small-eat, that's a bad marketing strategy.
● In UK's Economist Intelligence Unit - Global Food Security Index ( Sept., 2017), Taiwan is not included , China's score of 2017 is 63.7, ranks 45th among 113 nations ( Singapore 4, Japan 18, Korea 24, Ireland 1, US 2, UK 3,); In EIU Liveability Country Level Index (Jan. 2015), Taipei's "Food Security Index" ("1" means "Most Secure") is "42", same as all other communist China's major cities, e.g., GuangZhou, TianJin, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai. Asia best Singapore's index from "5" in 2014 rises to "2" in 2015 (5-28-2015). Most-secure-food cities include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C., all are Index "1", Paris Index is "3" , Zurich and Amsterdam index "5", Brussels "7". The Economist (11-29-2014) analyzed Taiwanese black-heart foods caused ruling party "has suffered one of its worst electoral defeats" since 1949, "The failure of Mr Ma’s government to prevent a series of food scandals has also upset many"。The New York times (9.8.2014): The authorities in Taiwan are scrambling to control a tainted-cooking-oil scandal that has affected hundreds of manufacturers and raised fears about health risks posed in many commonly consumed food items... the new scandal shows that there is still not enough being done to eliminate lawbreaking production lines”. BusinessWeek (9-8-2014): "The new gutter-oil scandal has “shocked local consumers” in Taiwan". BBC (11-19-2013): Consumers in Taiwan have been shocked by a series of food safety scandals.

A 5 star hotel restaurant made Japanese sashimi by fresh-water fishes, this may causes serious infection and even cancer, according to Japanese studies in 2013...hence, people should minimize the number of times dining out to assure safety / Jiang M.D.'s book "食在安心"(by 江守山 M.D., Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Taiwan Veterans General Hospital, etc. ), printed in Oct, 2014. Another book "Fruits , Vegetables" (Chinese namely, "遠離毒蔬果") written by IMEI (義美) group's leader Luis Ko (高志明), page 162 quoted Dr. Gaston J.C. Wu (professor & dean, Taiwan Normal University) that Taiwan's vegetables and fruits should be flush thoroughly with plenty of flowing water, those tiny gaps and hollows need to be brushed before cooking or/and eating.

(江守山,

「Food
safety issue
matters
!」"generally
speaking, what we eat nowadays are "very dirty".
Minimize the times of eating/dining out to
control poison exposure to be within a margin of
safety (控制毒物暴露量在一定程度之內)，Taiwan
ranks world No.1 in usage of pesticides per unit of land area (單位土地面積使用農藥)，according
to a study by National Yang-Ming University,
98% of urine samples randomly chosen from kids in
Taipei, Taiwan, contain pesticide,
the Plasticizer of dust in our
houses as well as pregnant women's urine both rank world No.1.
Besides, there're really too much
addictives inside our food
。
More than most of Taiwan's restaurants currently use artificial chemical soy
sauce(化學水解醬油)，which
inevitably produces chemical 3-MCPD
(單氯丙二醇) and may
results in tongue cancer,
kidney cancer, lliver cancer,
we
all ate them too much already !
Taiwanese over-value
economic price, therefore we got too many terrible stuffs in home or in our
body.

Taiwan's food safety failed again and again,
Dioxin, Fipronil poison-eggs in last year, Nicarbazin illegal drug residue event
in this year.
Europe was very cautious about Fipronil event,
in contrast, Taiwan did
nothing about it. Even worse, Taiwan officials hide
Nicarbazin issue from Taiwanese people to
baby related business
―
indulge business to
retrieve problematic eggs and then resell them as promotion goods.. Why do high-ranking officials always fudge Taiwanese people's

(Nov. 2013): Most of the time I eat at home, and has never dined out in
street-side shops / small-eat markets (路邊攤),
because those small-eat shops usually/always
do not
meet the minimum standards of
cleanliness.
In case I can't reject some dinner party or must dine out, I select only
some restaurants I fully trust. Besides, I've never touched processed food
or cured products, and any drinks commercially available(市售飲料)
in Taiwan, particularly, pearl milk tea which already is a world known Taiwanese
food. PS:
The China Times (8-15-2015):
Taiwanese favorite drinks contain high Kcal/g heat, you will gain 5.1kg if

The boss said there're some difference between Taiwan's and Macau's. The Hujiao bing in Macau's branch taste more salty, those in Taiwan taste more spicy (SETV news 11-6-2015).
