Walking through the Shilin night market in Taipei, Taiwan, I felt like I was entering another world. Bright neon signs hung from buildings and countless food stores and carts lined the streets; loud, fast-paced pop music blasted in the background; and crowds of people, balancing numerous snack items in their hands, wandered, ate, and laughed all at the same time.
In 2013, I traveled to Taipei for the filming of my food program, CiCi’s Food Paradise. I was thrilled to film at one of the city’s most famous night markets.
