Still onto Jiu Fen in this 3rd episode, food is still the main subject here. With so many more delicacies to introduce, I think it would be better for one to come and explore, to experience for themselves in this food-filled valley. Seriously, it would take almost the whole day to explore every nook and cranny, hence it is of best advice to come a little earlier so that to have ample time to tour around Jiu Fen.

Look for this shop selling sweet cakes.
Highly recommended!
Weird food sold here as well, XD
The buildngs in Jiu Fen as you could see, are old and seemed unoccupied. But do take note of the tea sold there in those buildings. Those old streets could easily lead you to any of those shops there.

One could easily find a tea shop, sit back, relax and enjoy the lush greens surrounding the scenic view of Jiu Fen. There really is nothing to lose, with the mountain breeze blowing through your hair strands, fresh air plenty to fill up them lungs, this really is the place to get a peace of mind.

Ohya, see these cute bottles of orange juices? Don't get fooled into buying 1, it's too expensive for juices!
After quite some time in Jiu Fen, we then got off them mountains and headed back to our motels for some rest. Hold it there, it wasn't all. After resting for some while, we soon we once again on the hunt for good food. We did stop by a shop to feast on some great pork knuckles and braised rice. Then, we pushed ourselves to another night market in Taiwan, this time it is Rao He Night Market.

There, we tried another type of Taiwanese Bubble Tea Milk, 青蛙撞奶。At first, many thought those black little balls were really frog eggs, but soon got to know they were just a symbolization to the milk tea. It was good anyway, $40 for a cup.
Look at that frog. Now who wouldn't have thought they were frog eggs??
We also tried the fried pau, 水煎包。It was good as well, and it costed only $10 for one! The Night market like any other was packed with people. There were also games for people to try on. Plus lots of souvenirs and T-shirts to buy especially women's clothing, the night market was at its peak.

Smelly toufu again! Yum!
Mutton satay!
Gaming machines.
I also have to recommend the Taufu Fa sold there. Its not like our normal Taufu Fa, its softer, smoother and less sweet. Really, you have to try the Taufu Fa in Taiwan. Also try to look for the shop selling watermelon juice in the picture below. Its the cheapest there, only $20 for a 700cc cup of pure watermelon juice!
