Taiwan: Hualien - What to eat in Hualien?

ok, foods i ate in Hualien. 

For this post, i'll introduce 2 places that i really love. 

First one, the neighborhood food stall in the busy city, introduced by my hostel host, XiaoLuo.

This is also his family usual dinning spot, not exposes to tourist yet.   

When you see the red signboard, means you found the place. By the way, the red signboard isn't the stall name, is a temple name. The stall name is Fu An (福安)

Run by an old couple, mainly serving home-cooked taste. 

one of the signature food, Fried Noodle with Seafoods (炒什锦面)

this is the best dishes of the night, Grill Fish with Pepper Salt (烤虱目鱼)

This is good snack to eat with beer, Fried Shell with Basil （九层塔炒蚬）

This low profile stall turned out to be our favor stall in the 4d3n Hualien trip. 

If you're travelling in a gang, please come to this place and order more foods that Elaine and I didn't have chance to taste it all. If you're food lover like me, you will like this place.

The place isn't easy to find at all, it is located in the outskirt of the busiest streets in Hualien Town, hope the map below can help you to located the place.

red is hostel, green is the food place and blue is the busiest street in HuaLien town.

Alright the 2nd place is ZhiQiang Night Market (自强夜市), a famous place in Hualien.

If you stay in YouZiJia, just hop on a cab and let the driver bring you the place, its not within walking distance.  

So we went to the place in one raining evening, less crowded so i have slight more photos to show. 

starting from here.

raining so less crowded.

first food we had. The local steak meal, come with free bread, soup and drink. Steak serve in sizzling pan and come with egg and spaghetti. Eat till you drop. 

this is the place, inexpensive at all but its almost restaurant level!

2nd food we had (yes we cant finish our steak but die die want eat others), hand made pizza. 

from dough.... 

to oven....

ta-da! this is sooooooooooooooooo good, almost the best pizza that i ever had!

next, candied sweet potatoes for dessert. 

Nothing impress though. And we can finish so this is one of our supper. Yes, one of our supper.

Fresh fruit juice is the must to try in Taiwan. 

and yea we cant finish so we bring back too...

one of the most famous stall in the night market, BBQ stall.

a lot of choice and always crowded. 

In case you cant read chinese: Even though we're not famous, but we're busy enough, please don't advertise for us. We're preparing your food with best we can, so please be patient. 

And yea we cant' finish, so this is packed and bring back. But honestly, this is nothing impressive. 

Alright next will be taipei, but i have no idea what is the highlight though.

Anyway place stay tuned, will update as soon as i can.
