Shitong market in Taipei
This is
the so called wet market that most expats go to. The price is ridiculously
high. I bought a medium sized chicken and it cost RM 60.00. In fact all the
items are so expensive so have to look for cheaper markets to go to. The saving
grace is the different types of dumplings esp the mini bah chang.

Apologies for long silence
Well I moved to Taipei in June and since then I did not have my pc with me and did not do much cooking as I am busy exploring the place. Finally I have a new pc so will start posting soon when I am more settled and familiar with the markets.
