What's up and welcome guys my name's Luke Martin with ChopstickTravel.com and today

we are at Wenhua Yeh Shi which is Wenhua night market here in Chiayi City.

Admittedly this isn't the best night market for food it's more of a shopping and hangout place right downtown Chiayi City.

But I'm going to show you the best spot to eat some of the best foods here at the Wenhua night market.

So I'm getting hungry. Let's go see what they got up there.

Okay, so the first thing you are going to notice when you're here at the Wenhua market is the stall selling a type of shawarma.

But as they call it a sha wei ma and this is the Taiwanese version of very popular shawarma obviously.

So we've got the bun, and then some nice like Rotisserie style chicken and a whole piece of

Tomato and then a couple different sauces, one of which

I think is mayonnaise and then the other is like, sort of like a ketchup, and I'm not going to lie

I've actually purchased six of these at one time and we often

Okay, that is the taste that I love and that is why we always come back. And actually

sha wei ma is really popular all over Taiwan, and we've eaten it in a couple different places.

And this is certainly my favorite stall to have it.

So it's like a little sweet from the Mayonnaise.

And it's got like a little bit of a tangy flavor from that other sauce.

But really, it's the chicken and the tomatoes that make that so good and also she sprinkles it with some black pepper. I believe as well.

As I mention this market isn't the best for food, but this place certainly makes up for that.

And this is a stall selling niu ro men, which is beef noodle soup, and we've got a big bowl of it here.

So of course we have some big nice bouncy looking noodles.

And then the, like kind of a clear, but brown really beefy aroma broth,

beef of course these are huge chunks of beef and that's one of the reasons that this spot is so good

So some greens, some green onions and then an interesting ingredient

You don't always find that is the big chunk of sliced radish

So that looks really good and let's try this out. I'm going to start with the broth first

And it's actually quite like clean it's a smooth broth. I can taste sort of like maybe some cinnamon or like star anise

yeah, that's pretty good. Let's try these noodles

Oh yeah these looks like nice bouncy noodles

And those do a good job at like containing all the beefy flavor of that broth

Okay, let's try this beef out. Huge chunk here. I'm just going to put the whole thing in

Hmm completely saturated with all the broth Flavor

So correct me if I'm wrong, but this is an ingredient that I don't commonly see in beef noodles, and I think it's radish

But like I said correct me if I'm wrong I'm going to try to

Ridiculously soft and again it just completely soaked up all the flavor of the broth. This is an awesome bowl of beef noodles

This is such a comfort food and really this has got to be one of the maybe top five

Classic taiwanese food. Beef noodle soup and this place does it right.

at our next stop today, and this is pretty much my

Favorite place in all of Wen Hua market, and this spot serves a very famous

Taiwanese dish as well called Er Ah Ziang which is a oyster omelet,

Which is up there with beef noodle soups for the top classic

Taiwanese dishes and the interesting thing about this restaurant is by day it is a shoe store

And you have to come I think it's around 9:00 p.m.. And they start to close the shoe store

And that's like this legendary it is an institution. Prices are a little bit high but the quality and taste reflects that

Besides the Oyster omelet this place is also famous for lots of other dishes and one of those is it's fried milk fish

So it is shallow fried in quite a bit of oil and we just got ours and it looked awesome

So it is also served with a lime. I'll squeeze a little bit of that on. Oh yeah, definitely

Need some lime juice on there. Just soaked that let's break off a nice piece from the middle

Oh yeah. Oh look at that. It looks so crispy already, okay. I'm going to try this piece

You can taste that. That is so fresh. Oooh, that is so good

Super Crispy on the outside like Golden Brown crispy, and now lime juice. Just brings it up a notch big-time

So our oyster omelet has arrived and every spot does it a little bit differently and this one looks really

They fry up some oysters first and then use the potato starch as a batter mixed with some eggs

And then it is just completely soaked in this tangy orange sauce so let's try this one out

I'm going to break up a piece. It's usually quite gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside

Oh yeah, I can feel that super gooey from that potato starch

Okay, I don't think I have an oyster, but we'll try these out anyway

that sauce is actually a little bit sweet but also quite tangy but

Other than that it just taste like an incredibly well-done omelet, but let's try to get to the center and get some of those oysters

So I think yes there's some oysters right in there. Oh yeah, I think I've got two oysters here. Oh, it's really gooey

So I think yes, there is some oysters right in here. Oh yeah, I think I got like two oysters there. Oh it's really gooey.

Very very subtle see-foody flavor and not much at all really

And it's so gooey it kind of just like slits down your throat

And it's all coated in that tangy sweet sauce this is a good spot, and they are famous for this dish for a good reason

Unfortunately, a lot of the stalls and restaurants are actually closed because we waited so long for

This fish restaurant to open up, and you can see behind me it is still quite busy.

But we are going to keep looking and see what else we can find. I am not sure if there is too much open now.

So unfortunately tonight was a little bit of a bust.

We didn't get to go to all the spots that we wanted to.

Because we stayed really late for the fish and oyster omelette restaurant

but I'm not disappointed with that. It was awesome

Definitely something that you should try if you come to Wenhua market is the dou huao.

Apparently the dou huao is very good. I've actually never tried it

We were really hoping to tonight, but it was closed because it's so late

But we decided to finish off the night with some fresh seasonable fruit and vegetable juice.
