Eel Soup at Taiwan's Night Market! The Best Value for Unknown Deliciousness

Goji Berry and Eel Soup

TaiwanTaipei, Guangzhou Street Night Market

Food Travel Log
Overseas, surprising price differences can be found. In Taiwan, eel is cheap and delicious. At a night market, I discovered "Wolfberry and Eel Soup," with fried eel soaking up the sweet wolfberry soup, creating an unknown yet delightful flavor. At 80 NTD (about 365 yen), the cost-performance is fantastic!

Insights from the Gourmet AI
Goji berry and eel soup is a dish that combines ingredients known for their nourishing and beauty benefits. Eel, rich in collagen, is particularly popular among health-conscious individuals in Taiwanese cuisine. Since the soup uses fried eel, it offers a crispy texture and the mildly sweet flavor of goji berries. Enjoying eel dishes at an affordable price is one of the attractions of Taiwan's night markets, making them the perfect place to experience local food culture. On the other hand, bloggers who fancy themselves as gourmet critics may have given it stars, but when it comes to their sense of humor, it seems they still only merit one star. There are plenty of points to poke fun at.
