Anping Old Street

The City Of Snacks! It is the fifth-largest city and Taiwan's oldest, with quaint streets retaining the flavor of the past and lined with stalls selling an excellent array of delectable goodies. A lot of delicacies and renowned street food can be found in the Anping Old Street. My favourite is the coffin toast I ate at 安平贵记. It may have a morbid name, but this unique delicacy is possibly the best bread you'll ever sink your teeth into. Coffin toast is made up of a thick chunk of bread which had been deep fried, with a hole cut out in the shape of a coffin. In the bread is filled with hot chicken chunks, seafood, vegetables and cream. Crisp on the outside and warm in the inside. Pure delight. Near the entrance to the ruins of Anping Fort lies a stretch of eateries that boasts a history of at least 50 years. One can find snacks like deep fried shrimp and oyster rolls, oyster mee sua, danzaimian and minced pork sauce. Prices are low at about NT$50 (about S$2.15). There lane also sells souvenirs and dried snacks such as nougats, preserved fruits and shrimp crackers. Last but not least, oysters sold here are much cheaper. One can get eight fresh, succulent ones for only around NT$100 to NT$150, a third of the price we'd have to pay in Singapore! Anping Old Street sells many local delicacies and one should definitely make a trip there try them!
