This is Shilin Market on a weekday night
It is full of people, full of bargains, and full of life and energy
Well, except for this Skin Food angel who seems to be devoid of any feelings
I usually come after dinner so all I have are drinks.
My favorite almond tea
“Wow Frog Eggs” green bean + ai yu + fresh milk
And Frances’s favorite, Indian pulled tea
She pulls
And pulls
And serves you your tea in this cool little black garbage bag
Okay, I lied. Sometimes I have something to eat.
But you see, who has the power to resist these steaming sheng jian baos?
Tasty pork ball enveloped in a bun that is crisp at the bottom and soft all around. Deliciousness.
Grilling station
Barbeque squids
Check out these cute mini egg cakes
Chicken Motorcycle
Pig Elephants, guns, etc, etc.
Some cute finds:
Hair accessories in every color
Funky shoes. I buy the one on the right. Frances buys both.
We get these lens-less glasses just for kicks
And then at 1:30am, our stomachs scream for midnight snack
See, we are not the only hungry peoples at this ungodly hour
The place is packed
So we decide to take it home
The secret sauce in a pail
Plus Chinese spinach and lamb slices
It is 3am and we burp and we burp.
