Morning Market

I woke up early on Saturday and headed out to have some breakfast. After that I went to the food market that is in an alley at Shida market. I love strolling around at these markets, and sense the local citizens everyday life.The vendors try to sell out their stuff in a more or less loudly way and (mostly) women go there to buy the vegetables and meat needed to cook the meals of the day. I bought some roasted chestnuts, fruits and rice cake home.

Steamed cakes made of rice flour with different fillings like taro, red beans and peanut.

Dried mini fishes.

Taiwanese blood pudding, often included in soups.

Fishballs, tofu balls, crab balls, shrimp balls, flour balls... so many kinds of them!

Vegetables from the front ockra, leeks, melon and some salad.
Roaster mini chestnuts, these are about half of the size of "normal" chestnuts that also can be found in Sweden. It's so good, nothing else is needed when eating this.

Chinese medicinal herbs.

Grilled chicken. Note that the heads are still there.

I think this is long egg plants, but I'm not sure. The color is so cool, purple in varying nuances with a metallic polish .
